Rapid-Lok Ultimate M

MB Rapid-Lok Ultimate M is an engineered steel corbel system that provides a permanent, durable, easy-to-install replacement for traditional concrete corbels and welded angles.

RLU-M is a safer, more reliable, and more efficient alternative to traditional methods, contributing to a more streamlined and safer construction process.

Rapid-Lok Ultimate M eliminates these traditional corbel headaches:

  • Labor-intensive operations: Manufacturing concrete corbels is often labor-intensive and costly, requiring the handling of heavy concrete elements. Critical safety measures are essential and add complexity and expense to the process.
  • Costly secondary forming: Casting traditional corbels requires specialized equipment, forms and procedures. Concrete mix, curing times, and environmental conditions must be controlled to meet quality metrics and structural standards.
  • Inefficient storage and handling: Storing and shipping walls and columns with incorporated corbels is also a challenge. These protruding elements often become obstacles and make the erection process more complex

Easy Installation

Like the original Rapid-Lok Ultimate, RLU-M comprises an Embed Plate that is cast into the concrete column or panel at the precast plant with the face flush to the wall surface. Once the unit is on-site, the attached void formers are removed from the face of the embed plate to reveal recesses. The Bearing Angle tabs are then engaged into those recesses, securely locking the entire assembly into place without requiring a weld.

Trusted Performance

The entire Rapid-Lok family of engineered corbels is manufactured in the United States and boast these quality assurances:

  • 100% dimensional inspection: Every RLU-M component undergoes comprehensive dimensional checks to ensure compliance to specifications.
  • Full traceability: Each product is individually marked, ensuring all quality records are accessible.
  • Material & strength testing: Our products undergo rigorous materials testing to guarantee optimal performance, durability and reliability.
