The Pintail-Less, Next-Generation Lockbolt System
The Huck BobTail® represents the most advanced fastening technology available today. Engineered to meet the demanding challenges of heavy-duty assembly, the BobTail delivers high performance and reliability through its unique, pintail-less design, the ultimate evolution of the lockbolt principle.
Unmatched Fatigue Strength and Corrosion Protection
Where conventional nuts and bolts fail, the Huck BobTail excels. This system offers up to five times the fatigue strength of traditional threaded fasteners, ensuring maximum structural integrity for the life of your application. Furthermore, the innovative no-break-off pintail design eliminates the corrosion-prone point of conventional lockbolts, guaranteeing the highest corrosion resistance in its class.
Optimised Installation and Ergonomics
The Huck BobTail’s unique, low-swage technology achieves full clamping force while requiring significantly less labour and lighter tooling than any previous system. This translates directly to unmatched installation speed, often under 2 seconds per fastener, and better ergonomics for your crew.
The Industry's Choice for Structural Integrity
Ideal for high-stakes assembly in truck and trailer manufacturing and railcar applications, the Huck BobTail provides a permanent, vibration-resistant joint every time. Quality assurance is simplified: a quick visual inspection is all that is needed to confirm the high-strength, durable connection is secured.
