Elevator Bulldog Clip

About Elevator Bulldog Clip

An Elevator Bulldog Clip is a special type of rail clip used to secure elevator guide rails to the hoist way structure, particularly where rigid and reliable clamping is required. It gets its name from its tight, powerful grip much like a bulldogs bite.

• A Bulldog Clip is a forged or cast steel bracket designed to firmly clamp the T-rail flange of an elevator guide rail to an embedded support or mounting bracket in the shaft.

• It is especially common in high-rise or freight elevator systems where robust rail fixation is essential.

• • Installed every 1.5 to 2 meters vertically on each guide rail, depending on code and application.

  • Requires proper torque on bolts and alignment checks with plumb line or laser.

  • Often used with insert channels or wall brackets embedded in concrete or steel structures.
