Introducing the Z-8000

The PROLOAD HD Series Z-8000 is a heavy-duty floor expansion joint cover engineered for the highest load ratings in the Genotek range. Built from AA 6063-T5 aluminum with reinforced support frames and EPDM rubber seals, the system accommodates thermal and seismic movement while withstanding vehicular loads in industrial plants, loading docks, distribution centres, and high-traffic commercial floors. Its robust construction and slip-resistant finish make it the go-to choice when other systems can't take the punishment.

seismic movement accommodation

this expansion joint system is designed to handle thermal & seismic -movements, allowing adjacent concrete slabs to expand and contract naturally. the interlocking center plate provides additional stability, making it a reliable choice for high-use environments.

water protection

water barrier made of tpe forms seamless intersections, eliminating weak points. the barrier holds water during rain or washing, then allows evaporation once the source stops.

Construction

The system is defined by its robust construction, utilizing a full aluminum expansion joint cover profile with component options for the cover plate including Aluminum or Stainless Steel 304/316. This heavy-duty system is specifically engineered with components heavier in thickness and size than most market systems, which significantly extends the performance and life span of the joint. The support frames are made from extruded aluminum , often using the AA 6063 grade. The system also incorporates a Steel Spring and can optionally include an EPDM or TPV Vapor Barrier.

Noise Dampening Feature

A unique and critical feature of this system is its integrated damper system, which is specifically designed to prevent the cover from making noise. Under dynamic traffic loads, such as those found in parking garages where vehicles are constantly moving, the damper prevents the aluminum cover plate from u201cclunkingu201d noisily from side-to-side. This feature ensures a quieter environment and contributes to the systemu2019s overall maintenance-free performance under heavy traffic.

Premium Aluminum for Architectural Materials

Aluminum grade 6063, the premium material used in the expansion joint cover, offers strength, corrosion resistance, and durability. Available in T5 and T6 tempers or customized to meet project needs, this versatile alloy ensures exceptional structural integrity and longevity. Aluminum 6063 withstands high-traffic areas, extreme temperatures, and corrosive conditions, making it an ideal choice for diverse applications, from commercial facilities to infrastructure projects.
