Lionweld Kennedy launches innovative LionGrip fixing for high-vibration environments
Lionweld Kennedy, the 2024 Tees Business of the Year and a leading UK manufacturer of steel grating and access solutions, has launched its latest innovation – the LionGrip fixing.
Designed to address the specific challenges of environments exposed to high levels of vibration, LionGrip offers a secure, durable and user-friendly solution for fixing steel gratings.
The fixing has been developed in close collaboration with Bradford-based Lindapter, a global leader in steelwork clamping systems.
LionGrip is a friction clamp fixing and has been strength tested for vibration resistance. Unlike traditional fixings that may loosen over time, LionGrip maintains a tight, secure hold, delivering improved reliability in demanding industrial settings.
The frictional clamp design means no drilling into steelwork is required, preserving the integrity of anti-corrosion coatings on the supporting steelwork and reducing the need for touch-up and repair.
Another standout feature of LionGrip is its universal compatibility. The fixing clip has been engineered to suit all Lionweld steel gratings, eliminating the need for multiple types of clips and simplifying inventory management for installers and procurement teams.
Furthermore, LionGrip has been designed to be fixed from above, significantly improving installation efficiency and safety by reducing the reliance on access platforms or scissor lifts.
The development of LionGrip has resulted is a fixing clip that is three times stronger than its predecessor. This increased strength is thanks to the use of a cast bottom component, replacing

the previously used folded steel, which enhances the structural integrity and longevity of the fixing.
Lionweld Kennedy’ s launch of LionGrip represents a significant step in steel grating installation technology. It reflects the company’ s commitment to innovation, userfocused design and providing solutions that meet the evolving needs of industrial environments.
