Fail Safe Hanger info

SHOP FAIL SAFE HANGERS

The Fail Safe Hanger is a very versatile hanger that can be used for all plate sizes 6″ and over.  This hanger was originally designed to retain plates 10 lbs and lighter that could be shot off our STANDARD HANGER by medium rifle rounds.  This hanger can mount most plates by us or others.

  • Fits all FORGED T posts
  • Fabricated from 1/4″ A36 steel
  • Capable of supporting very heavy plates.
  • Designed for plates 6″ and larger.
  • Additional T post clamp prevents hanger “walk” with smaller plates.
  • Built in wrenches for bolt and T post clamp
  • Uses a 1 1/2″ GRADE 8 carriage bolt to mount the plate
  • Stackable for multiple plates on a single T post
  • Works with most rifle and pistol calibers.  (Haven’t tested it with a 50 cal yet)

Grade 8 Bolt info

GRADE 8 CARRIAGE BOLTS:

    • Plates hit with high energy rifle rounds transfer a massive amount of stress forces to the bolt head that will shear off non grade bolt heads.  (giving the false impression they were shot off.)
    • Tensile strength – maximum load that a material can support without fracture when being stretched.
    • Grade 8 Tensile Strength is 150,000 psi   Low carbon non grade bolts are 60,000 psi
    • Grade 8 bolts are NOT bulletproof and can be shot through.  However, they do take less damage from hits than non grade bolts.
    • Carriage bolt heads have a low profile and reduce splatter deflection significantly.
    • Carriage bolts used with square hole plates eliminate the need for 2 wrenches for installation.
    • Grade 8 carriage bolts are almost impossible to find at local hardware stores, be sure to buy them with your order.
    • Everybody hates target failures and grade 8 bolts go a long way to reducing them.

We tested non grade hardware store carriage bolts and this one lasted about 20 rounds from a 7.62 x 39 on a 12 x 20 silhouette plate @ 50 yards.  The target plate hit the ground and we all thought the bolt had been hit and shot through… but this is what we found.   This failure is exactly what a grade 8 bolt is designed to prevent.
