When do you choose a rectangular steel, aluminum or bronze wedge?

Steel wedges, aluminum wedges or even bronze variants: they may seem small, but they play a major role in construction, industry and civil engineering. Whether you want to level a steel beam or temporarily support a heavy structure – wedges are the silent force
behind precision work.
We supply industrial wedges in steel, aluminum and bronze. Are you looking for a reliable supplier of steel wedges or are you sourcing wedges for a specific project? Below you can read exactly when you need which type – including practical applications by industry.

1. Adjustment and alignment work

Rectangular wedges are essential when aligning heavy components. Consider:

• Positioning steel structures – For accurate positioning of columns, beams, brackets and other steel connections.
• Alignment of machinery and equipment – For example, when setting up industrial equipment on concrete or steel.
• Fixing formwork or molds – So that the concrete stays exactly in place.
• Stamping or temporary support – Useful during renovation, remodeling or structural adjustment.

Whether you are procuring for a contractor, steel fabricator or precast manufacturer – for this type of work, you prefer to choose a strong steel spigot.

2. Sawing and demolition technology

Wedges are also commonly used in precision demolition work:

• For diamond cutting in concrete – Aluminum or steel wedges keep the cut open and prevent excessive pressure on the wire.
• Temporary support during disassembly – Consider the removal of steel plates or other elements that should not sink. A properly placed wedge prevents damage or dangerous situations.

For this type of application, contractors often look for a specialized supplier of industrial wedges – robust, reliable and fast delivery.

3. Civil engineering, offshore and shipbuilding

In industries where precision counts and space is limited, wedges are indispensable tools. For example, in:

• Bridges, locks or tunnels – Where you still need to be able to level perfectly with minimal clearance.
• Ships and offshore platforms – Where steel, salt air and vibration come together.
• Corrosion-resistant applications – Here aluminum is a smart choice: light, does not rust and is easy to handle.
• ATEX environments – Consider bronze wedges in hazardous areas because of their non-sparking properties.

Are you working on these types of projects? If so, it pays to buy your wedges smartly – tailored to the material, safety and environment.

4. Material selection and safety

Every situation requires the right material. That is why we supply wedges in different metals, with an eye for safety and functionality:

• Steel wedges – Strong, wear-resistant and suitable for heavy loads. Ideal for large-scale construction.
• Aluminum wedges – Light weight and rust resistant. Perfect for outdoors, in wet areas or when speed counts.
• Bronze wedges – Spark-free and resistant to corrosion. A safe choice in ATEX zones or at sea.
• Safe angle of inclination – All our wedges are cut at a safe angle, so they stay firmly in place and cannot recoil.
