Hucktainer
®
Bringing Huck® quality to composite panel assemblies for trucks and trailers.
Hucktainer has earned its reputation as the fastener of choice to provide consistent, controlled clamp, superior vibration resistance
®
and fast, foolproof installation in truck trailers, truck bodies, cargo containers, and other structures fabricated from multi-ply
composite panels.
The Hucktainer installs with consistent pressure, reducing the potential for crushing or crazing
FRP panels and metal-clad applications. Each Hucktainer features a heavy zinc plating that
resists corrosion. For even greater anti-corrosion protection, plastic encapsulation is available.
The option of custom colors offers fade-resistant protection, while an integral double seal helps
keep the elements and other contaminants from invading the joint.
Requiring only a few seconds to install, Hucktainer fasteners reduce assembly time. Unlike
impact wrenches, the tools used to install Hucktainer fasteners are whisper-quiet and come
in your choice of air-powered or hydraulic models. Comfortable, ergonomically designed grips
combined with easy-to-pull triggers minimize muscle strain and the possibility of repetitivestress syndrome.
Hucktainer is now also available in shorter lengths called Hucktainer MC, specifically designed
to accommodate stack-ups associated with metal-clad panels as thin as 3/16” (.187).

Installation Sequence
The pin and sleeve
are inserted into the
prepared hole.
The installation tool is
applied to the pintail.
When the tool is activated,
the sleeve is forced onto
the spiral lock of the pin.
The rotating action of the
nose assembly allows the
sleeve to turn freely.
The sleeve is fully
engaged on the pin
and locks onto the
pin’s splines to clamp
the material tightly
together.
Continued pull of
the tool causes the
pintail to break away,
which completes the
installation cycle.
Secure, fast installation
1. Plastic encapsulated head gives maximum
corrosion protection.
2. C
an be matched to specific fleet colors. UV resistant
material is color fast and resists fading.
3. Integral seal resists water intrusion.
4. G
rips available to cover application thicknesses
from .187" to 1.875".
5. H
eavy zinc plating provides additional
corrosion protection.
6. Low profile head conserves cargo space.
Direct-tension installation
Conventional threaded fasteners may only engage a few threads when joining thin sheets, allowing panels to separate in
response to vibration. By contrast, Hucktainer’s unique, direct-tension installation process provides for consistent clamp,
ensuring accurate tension and a secure, durable connection, time after time.

Hucktainer MC
®
Same high performance for today’s ultra-thin material.
Hucktainer has been re-engineered to accommodate thinner stack-ups associated with metal-clad (MC) panels in truck and trailer
assemblies. Like original Hucktainer, Hucktainer MC utilizes proprietary Huck technology, helping Hucktainer deliver both clamp and
vibration resistance that can’t be matched by conventional threaded fasteners.
In addition, Hucktainer MC also features an encapsulated head which forms an integral seal that helps keep the elements and other
contaminants from invading the joint, and preserving good looks. If corrosion-resistant fasteners are not used in trailer body assembly,
the chance of water damage significantly increases. Over time, this can affect joints and the surrounding metal-clad panels.
Hucktainer® MC
Hucktainer contributes a
high degree of vibration and
corrosion resistance when
used with metal-clad panels.

Color Pin Locks
All HLP's now come standard with a pin lock, which assists in a
semi-one-side installation. That is, it helps to keep the pin in the hole
while placing a sleeve over the pintail. It also keeps the pins from falling
back through from the shock of their neighboring fasteners being installed.
