Tracklok Ltd have designed and developed a range of pre-engineered, off the shelf connections to seismically and structurally bracing non structural elements in commercial buildings.
The Tracklok range has been designed to secure partition walls in commercial construction projects. The Tracklok seismic partition tie (SPT-10) provides a proprietary unit that complies with building code requirements and ceiling manufacturers' warranties. With extensive testing and peer reviewed results, in conjunction with material testing, users of the Tracklok (SPT-10) can be confident that their internal fit out creations are structurally and seismically secure.
All Tracklok Ltd products have been developed using sound engineering principles and in accordance with the New Zealand Building Code. The performance and capacity of all brackets has been quantified by physical testing, while real world seismic events continue to prove the validity of Tracklok.
TRACKLOK® - TRACKLOK® for new builds, allows you to connect directly through the partition head, separating wall from ceiling. Tested to provide structural and seismic performance for internal non-structural walls and glazing lines. Steel head track must be a minimum of .75 BMT, while aluminium head track must have a minimum material thickness of 1.3mm. Utilises steel stud for bracing stock. Using 10-gauge wafer 8 screws to attach bracing stock to the unit and top connectors. Set out charts provide clear guidance for placement. Utilised in IL2, IL3 and IL4 buildings. STOCK CODE: SPT-10
TRACKLOK® RETRO - Bringing an existing fit out up to seismic code, adding value to your clients existing fit out, or create time efficiencies by bracing after lining. TRACKLOK® RETRO is an effective way to retroactively attach to the partition head using 10-gauge wafer tek screws. Steel head track must be a minimum of .75 BMT, while aluminium head track must have a minimum material thickness of 1.3mm. Utilises steel stud for bracing stock. Using 10-gauge wafer tek screws to attach bracing stock to the unit and top connectors. Disengage walls and ceilings by using TRACKLOK® RETRO. Set out charts provide clear guidance for placement. Utilised in IL2, IL3 and IL4 buildings. STOCK CODE: SPT-10R
TRACKLOK® TIMBA - Timber framed walls and timber top plates present a unique bracing challenge. TRACKLOK® TIMBA is a uniquely designed solution, allowing the appropriate bracing while ensuring maximum connection to timber using minimum 10-gauge 35mm wood screws. Timber top plate must be minimum 90 x 45mm SG8 Radiata Pine or Douglas Fir. Locator notch provides perfect placement every time. Utilises steel stud for bracing stock. Using 10-gauge wafer tek screws to attach bracing stock to the unit and top connectors. Set out charts provide clear guidance for placement. Utilised in IL2, IL3 and IL4 buildings. STOCK CODE: SPT-10T
TRACKLOK® VERT - Service clashes are inevitable and although the TRACKLOK® range provides flexibility with bracing angles from 30° to 60° there will always be some situations where this is not enough. TRACKLOK® VERT gives the installer a tool to use a vertical brace on one arm allowing for the ultimate in clash avoidance. Steel head track must be a minimum of .75 BMT, while aluminium head track must have a minimum material thickness of 1.3mm. Utilises steel stud for bracing stock. Using 10-gauge wafer tek screws to attach bracing stock to the unit and top connectors. Also, available with RETRO and TIMBA bases. Set out charts provide clear guidance for placement. Utilised in IL2, IL3 and IL4 buildings. STOCK CODE: SPT-10V
DEFLOK™ RETRO - DEFLOKTM RETRO provides a vertical movement allowance of + or - 35mm. While traditional steel or aluminium deflection tracks are a fantastic way to allow for up to + or - 20mm of vertical deflection, combine these with DEFLOKTM and you can achieve a huge + or - 55mm of total vertical deflection. The RETRO connection allows you to bring an existing fit out up to seismic code, adding value to your clients existing fit out, or create efficiencies by bracing and lining at the same time. Utilised in IL2, IL3 and IL4 buildings. STOCK CODE: DFK-10R
DEFLOK™ TIMBA - DEFLOKTM TIMBA provides a vertical movement allowance of + or - 35mm. Timber framed walls and timber top plates present a unique bracing challenge, with the inconsistency of this organic material. DEFLOKTM TIMBA is a uniquely designed solution, allowing the appropriate bracing, while ensuring maximum connection to timber. Locator notch provides perfect placement every time. Utilised in IL2, IL3 and IL4 buildings. STOCK CODE: DFK-10T
DEFLOK™ VERT - Service clashes are inevitable and although the DEFLOKTM range provides flexibility with bracing angles from 30° to 60° there will always be some situations where this is not enough. DEFLOKTM VERT gives the installer a tool to use a vertical brace on one arm allowing for the ultimate in clash avoidance. Also, available with a TIMBA base. Utilised in IL2, IL3 and IL4 buildings. STOCK CODE: DFK-10V
TRACKLOK® FLAT - Wall bracing can need to allow for large amounts of vertical deflection greater than that accommodated by wall build up and/or deflection track. Also, projects with a very high plenum can be impractical to brace. While intense services can leave an installer with no space through which to install a wall brace. These three situations led to the design and development of the engineered solution TRACKLOK® FLAT. It utilises the benefits of the TRACKLOK® design and applies it to horizontally brace partition walls. Employing the principles of a “dragon tie” in residential terms, TRACKLOK® FLAT can brace one wall off another. TRACKLOK® FLAT is revolutionary. Ensuring seismic separation, providing ceiling clearance and featuring unique adjustability to clear troffer lights, sprinkler pipes and services - TRACKLOK® FLAT is an elegant, yet robust solution. Available in RETRO and TIMBA bases to ensure ease of use. Steel head track must be a minimum of .75 BMT, while aluminium head track must have a minimum material thickness of 1.3mm. RETRO affixed to head track with 10-gauge wafer tek screws. TIMBA affixed to 90mm x 45mm timber top plate with minimum 10-gauge 35mm wood screws. STOCK CODE: SPT-10F / SPT-10FR / SPT-10FT
