Premium Aluminum Rack Hangers
in Racks
$99.00 - $300.00
In stockPrice varies by Size.
Machined aluminium rack hanger for 3 in, 6 in, 8 in and 10 in tri-clamp spools, using a pin-style attachment so a column can be swapped without unbolting the hanger. All four sizes are 30 mm thick, take two M8 x 1.25 clamping bolts and four M6 x 1 tapped fasteners, and are dimensioned for a 1½ in x 1½ in clamp bar. Manufacturer assembly drawings give overall widths of 4.5, 7.5, 9.5 and 11.5 in respectively.

Description
Machined aluminium rack hanger for carrying tri-clamp spools on an extraction or process rack, supplied in four sizes for 3 in, 6 in, 8 in and 10 in spools. A pin-style attachment retains the column in the hanger, so a spool can be lifted out and swapped without unbolting the hanger from the rack.
Dimensions from the manufacturer’s assembly drawings
- 3 in model — 4.5 in overall across the clamp, clamping radius R1.5 in
- 6 in model — 7.5 in overall across the clamp, clamping radius R3 in
- 8 in model — 9.5 in overall across the clamp, clamping radius R4 in
- 10 in model — 11.5 in overall across the clamp, clamping radius R5 in
In every size the overall dimension is the nominal diameter plus 1.5 in, and the clamping radius is half the nominal diameter. All four drawings share the same fastener pattern: two M8 x 1.25 clamping bolts and four M6 x 1 tapped holes, on a 2 in mounting face.
Manufacturer specification table
- Clamp thickness: 30 mm, all sizes
- Bolt thread size: M8 x 1.25, all sizes
- Intended clamp bar: 1½ in x 1½ in, all sizes
- Maximum weight capacity: approximately 100 lb per hanger; the manufacturer suggests two hangers on the 6 in, 8 in and 10 in models
The alloy and temper are not published beyond “aluminium”, and the 100 lb figure is given by the manufacturer as an approximation rather than a tested rating — verify it against the mass of your own column and its contents before relying on a single hanger. Fasteners are not itemised in the listing.
Frequently asked questions
Which sizes are available and what do they fit?+
Four, by intended clamping diameter: 3 in, 6 in, 8 in and 10 in, matched to tri-clamp spools of the same nominal diameter. The assembly drawings give overall dimensions across the clamp of 4.5 in, 7.5 in, 9.5 in and 11.5 in — nominal diameter plus 1.5 in in each case — with clamping radii of R1.5 in, R3 in, R4 in and R5 in.
What weight will one hanger carry?+
The manufacturer’s specification table gives approximately 100 lb per hanger across all four sizes, and suggests using two hangers on the 6 in, 8 in and 10 in models. That figure is published as an approximation, not a tested or certified rating — check it against the mass of your column plus its contents, and design in your own margin.
What fasteners does it use?+
Two M8 x 1.25 clamping bolts and four M6 x 1 tapped holes, consistent across all four assembly drawings and confirmed by the manufacturer’s specification table, which also lists M8 x 1.25 as the bolt thread size. Fasteners are not itemised in the listing itself.
What clamp bar does it mount to?+
The manufacturer specifies a 1½ in x 1½ in clamp bar for all four sizes, on a 2 in mounting face per the drawings.
What is it made of and how thick is it?+
Precision-machined aluminium, 30 mm clamp thickness in every size. The specific alloy and temper are not published.
Does the T-bolt and nut kit fit these hangers?+
The supplier specifies that kit for their blue rack hangers, not for this aluminium range. These hangers are drawn around M8 x 1.25 clamping bolts and M6 x 1 tapped holes — check with us before ordering the two together.
