Playground and Street Furniture

Play equipment, outdoor gyms and other street furniture are found in many towns and cities. Unfortunately, the problem of vandalism and misuse of these facilities is often apparent.

The damage resulting from vandalism gives rise to health and safety issues, typically leaving exposed material and sharp edges. Using security fixings to secure playground equipment & street furniture provides improved levels of protection compared to non secure fixing methods.

Vertex has a wide variety of products suitable for playgrounds and street furniture from self-drilling screws to security floor anchors. Materials include Stainless Steel and High Tensile steel with corrosion resistant finishes for areas of high salt concentration. With metric sizes from M3 to M30 Vertex provides a complete range of products for all customer applications.

Commercial Vehicles

Security fixings can be used to prevent theft of products from cars, vans & HGV’s. The most common thefts are catalytic convertors and batteries. An epidemic of catalytic converter theft, largely from hybrid/electric cars, is now becoming a major insurance headache for owners.

Since hybrid cars have two power sources – electric and petrol/diesel the catalytic converter is used less frequently to process pollutants. Precious metals in the catalytic convertor including platinum, palladium & rhodium are less likely to corrode, retaining their value, so proving attractive to thieves. These metals are used to improve efficiency and emission standards.

Vertex security fasteners are manufactured in both stainless steel and hardened steel. Steel fixings are case hardened to prevent attack from saw blade and cutting discs. They are supplied with high specification surface finishes to ensure corrosion resistance. The fixings and installation tools are not readily available resulting in improved levels of security.
