Description
Overview:
U-Bolt Plate 70mm Hole Centres, 6mm Thick (MPN 763 122) is a flat clamp plate used with standard U-bolts to secure and support components on trailers, plant, and commercial vehicles. The plate provides a stable bearing surface under the nuts, helping to distribute clamping forces evenly and reduce local distortion of chassis rails, box section, tube, or other mounting points. With hole centres at 70 mm (2.76 in), it matches U-bolts with legs set at the same spacing, ensuring a tidy, square fit. The 6 mm (0.24 in) plate thickness offers a robust interface for reliable tightening in service. Commonly found in axle clamp packs, body fittings, rack and bracket mounts, and general trailer fabrications, it is a practical choice for repairs and new builds where a consistent 70 mm centre spacing is required. Supplied as a plain, pre-drilled plate ready to use with suitable nuts, washers, and a matching U-bolt.
Key Features:
- 70 mm (2.76 in) hole centres to suit U-bolts with 70 mm leg spacing
- 6 mm (0.24 in) plate thickness for load distribution and rigidity
- Pre-drilled two-hole pattern for quick assembly with matching U-bolts
- Helps prevent crushing or deformation of mounting surfaces under clamp load
- Suitable for use on round or square section, chassis rails, and fabricated brackets
- Simple, flat profile for easy positioning and alignment in clamp assemblies
- Compatible with general trailer, towing, and plant body fitting applications
Typical Applications:
Used beneath U-bolt nuts in clamp arrangements on trailers, caravans, plant transporters, and service vehicles. Typical locations include axle and suspension clamp packs, securing tube or box section to chassis rails, mounting mudguard stays and support brackets, fixing pipe carriers or ladder rack elements, and retaining posts or hardware on trailer drawbars. Suitable wherever a 70 mm (2.76 in) centre-to-centre U-bolt is specified and a flat backing plate is required to spread the load.
