Clamping system integrates ballast platform



AEROCOMPACT® has launched COMPACTFLAT S_BASE, a clamping system for low-slope roof systems that clamps longitudinally.

Made of high-grade aluminum and stainless steel, the clamping system’s base plates are lightweight and feature an integrated ballast platform with wind deflectors to reduce point loading and ballast quantity.

Additionally, AEROCOMPACT has launched AEROTOOL.CAD, an AutoCAD plugin that allows users to design full projects and automate racking designs within AutoCAD. The software uses ASCE design criteria and code standards.
