Product:  CLincHA

Category: Industrial

Innovator: Peter Hitchin (QLD)

Company: ES-CAR-GO

Description:
The CLincHA is a device to tie concrete reinforcement bars together while the operator remains in a standing position. Firing from a 200 unit magazine, the staple tie straddles the top bar and is then wrapped around the lower bar securing the joint. Each tie cycle only takes half a second to complete.

Unique Benefits:
The CLincHA removes the requirement of a steel fixer to:

• Operate in 'touch your toes' position
• Continually rotate the wrists and swivel hips to tie wire
• Clean the slab area of pieces of cut of wire prior to pouring concrete

• Saves time and money due to faster tying
• Reduces occupational health and safety injuries
• Reduces the skilled labour component on jobsites

Status of Innovation:
The working prototype has been thoroughly tested and is ready for manufacture. Patent applications have been granted in Australia, USA, Europe, China, Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea and Mexico.
