From building owners to engineers, to contractors and fabricators, our state-of-the-art special moment frame Yield-Link design saves everyone time and money—while providing a connection that keeps structural steel buildings strong and safe.

The Yield-Link cover plate is fabricated using light-gauge steel and is used for detailing the concrete deck near the Yield-Link moment connection.

The YLMC simplifies moment frame construction, offering a flexible and cost-effective solution without compromising on strength. Our innovative Yield-Link moment connection (YLMC) now replaces Strong-Frame moment frames for residential construction.
