The talon fastener was designed to give the end user the ability to install a bolt where access to the rear of the bolt is unavailable for the placement of the nut (i.E. Walls, tanks, floors, etc).
For additional safety, the talon fastener has a built in, spring loaded locking device to prevent accidental release of the fastener after installation. This provides the end user with a visual indication when the talon fastener is properly engaged.
Having the ability to provide quick and secure attachment points, utilizing a single person, equates to savings by reducing material and labor cost.
The talon receiver was designed to give the end user an option to use a field maintainable, self-sealing device that could replace pad eyes and is only usable with the appropriately sized talon fastener. The talon receiver is installed flush with the deck, once the talon fastener is removed, nothing remains above the deck and the self-sealing talon receiver automatically prevents debris and liquid from entering. No more engineering or labor cost associated with installation or removal of pad eyes multiple times. No more tripping or safety hazards associated with pad eyes or obstructions above the deck. The talon receiver is perfect for hot work applications where welding is not a safe or viable option.
