Product Information

Full details

This 10-pack of Universal BMB Body Mounting Runner Bearer Brackets from AB Tools is designed for professionals and individuals needing to securely attach cross bearers to vehicle chassis runners on trailers and trucks. The key benefit is their universal fit and robust construction, ensuring durable support. A minor caveat is their specific compatibility with 100mm runners and bearers. Key features include mild steel construction, a galvanised finish for corrosion resistance, and pre-drilled holes for straightforward installation.

FAQs

What material are these brackets made from?

The brackets are manufactured from mild steel.

What is the finish on these brackets?

They have a galvanised steel finish for rust and corrosion resistance.

Are fasteners included with the brackets?

No, fasteners such as bolts, nuts, and washers are not included and must be sourced separately.

What size runners and bearers do these brackets fit?

They are designed to suit 100mm chassis runners and 100mm bearers.

How many mounting holes are on each bracket?

Each bracket features eight pre-drilled holes, measuring 8 x 8.5mm.

Can these brackets be welded?

While mild steel can be welded, it is not recommended for these specific brackets as they are designed for bolted applications. Welding may affect the galvanised coating and structural integrity if not done professionally.

What are the overall dimensions of one bracket?

Each bracket has a total length of 189.5mm, a total width of 50mm, and a total height of 50mm, with a thickness of 4mm.

Troubleshooting

Brackets do not align with chassis/bearers

Verify that your chassis runners and cross bearers are precisely 100mm in width as specified for these brackets. Ensure the mounting holes are correctly drilled if customisation was done.

Fasteners are difficult to install

Ensure you are using appropriately sized fasteners (e.g., M8 bolts) that fit through the 8.5mm holes. Clean any debris from the holes before attempting installation.

Visible rust spots on the galvanised surface

Minor surface rust can occur on galvanised steel. Clean the area with water and allow it to dry. If extensive, consider a galvanising repair spray, but ensure it's compatible with the existing finish.

Bracket seems weak under load

Check that all fasteners are fully tightened. Ensure the bracket is correctly seated against both the chassis runner and the bearer. Confirm the load does not exceed the structural capacity intended for this type of mounting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust mild steel construction for strength.
  • Galvanised finish offers excellent rust and corrosion protection.
  • Universal design simplifies installation across different vehicles.
  • Pre-drilled holes reduce mounting time.
  • Ideal for securing cross bearers to trailer and truck chassis.

Cons

  • Specific to 100mm runners and bearers, limiting wider application.
  • Requires drilling or appropriate fasteners for attachment.
  • Material is mild steel, not stainless steel, for certain extreme environments.
  • Each bracket is 4mm thick, which may be a factor in very tight spaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install, position the bracket onto the vehicle chassis runner and align the desired cross bearer. Use appropriate M8 bolts, nuts, and washers (not included) through the pre-drilled 8x8.5mm holes to secure the bracket to the chassis. Then, attach the bearer to the bracket using fasteners through the remaining holes, ensuring all connections are tightened securely.

Compatibility: These brackets are designed to fit 100mm wide chassis runners and 100mm wide bearers. Ensure your vehicle's chassis and the cross bearers you intend to mount match these dimensions for optimal fit. They are suitable for use on trailers and trucks.

Care: To maintain the longevity of the galvanised finish, periodically clean the brackets with water and a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or wire brushes that could damage the protective coating. Inspect regularly for any signs of excessive wear or damage, particularly in high-stress areas.
