Structural washers are designed to provide additional strength and support in heavy-duty bolted connections. These washers are larger and thicker than standard washers, offering enhanced load distribution and resistance to deformation.
They are commonly used in construction, infrastructure, and other industrial projects where strong, reliable connections are crucial. Befast structural washers are built to meet high industry standards, ensuring consistent performance in demanding environments.

Structural washers offer several key benefits, including enhanced load distribution. Their larger surface area spreads the load more evenly, which reduces stress on the material and prevents damage to the assembly.
Additionally, structural washers are designed to resist deformation under high loads, ensuring that the bolted connection remains secure over time. This makes them ideal for use in applications where maintaining the integrity of the connection is essential, such as in heavy machinery or large infrastructure projects.
