Structural Rivets

Structural rivets are a type of permanent fastener that securely fasten panels together. The locking mechanism keeps the mandrel in place which results in a flush break and creates an exceptionally strong join when set properly. The most efficient way to set these rivets is with one of our heavy-duty structural riveting tools.

We carry both pneumatic and battery-operated structural riveting tools as well as thousands of structural rivets. We can supply rivets in different styles, sizes, grip ranges and materials, depending on the application. Simply let us know the project requirements and we can supply the right structural rivets for your needs.

No matter what kind of structural tools or rivets you need, we can source quality hardware for any project at affordable prices.

Structural Rivet Types and Selection Guide

Structural rivets come in several designs, each suited to specific load and application requirements:

• Multi-grip structural rivets - Feature a versatile internal locking mechanism with a wide grip range, providing high vibration and moisture resistance. Commonly used in automotive, transport, and manufacturing applications where joint integrity is critical. Dafra supplies MONOHUK™ structural rivets and can advise on Monobolt®-style rivets and Magna-Lok®-compatible tooling options
• Standard grip structural rivets - Feature a double-locking system with a non-protruding blind-side bulb that spreads the load for superior strength. Ideal for applications requiring vibration and weather-resistant joints. Dafra can advise on bulb-forming structural rivets and Hemlok®-equivalent fastening options
• Tri-fold structural rivets - A three-fold design providing high clamping force, often used in construction frames and roof anchor point installation

Structural rivets are available in diameters from 4.8mm (3/16") to 6.4mm (1/4"), in aluminium, steel, and stainless steel. A structural rivet gun with adequate pulling force is required to correctly set these fasteners - contact our team to confirm tool compatibility.

Different Types Of Structural Rivets

When it comes to structural rivets, our design tool models cater to diverse preferences.

Distinguishing between structural rivets and traditional pop rivets is crucial in structural fastening. Structural rivets, known for their superior strength and reliability, reign supreme for heavy-duty applications for example fastening:

• Utility vehicles and truck trailers
• Security fencing and gates
• Motor body fabrication and refrigerated truck panels
• Aerospace and automotive assembly
• Construction frames and roof anchor installation
  

Dafra's range of structural rivets offers the perfect solution when you need to create enduring and strong connections.

Structural Rivet vs. Pop Rivet

Structural rivets and pop rivets are both fasteners used in construction and assembly, but they have different strengths and applications.

• Structural rivets are strong and durable, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications. They have a solid body and a mandrel that is pulled through the rivet, creating a permanent bond. Structural rivets are commonly used in aerospace, automotive, and construction industries.
• Pop rivets are lightweight and versatile, making them a good choice for general-purpose applications. They have a hollow body and a mandrel that breaks off upon installation. Pop rivets are popular for sheet metal work, DIY projects, and other light-duty applications.

For a company and professionals involved in structural steel projects, our specialised structural blind rivet guns for structural rivets are precision-engineered to meet the exacting demands of steel construction. These tools offer both efficiency and precision, making them an invaluable asset in your arsenal.

We also understand the importance of maintaining your tools. Our structural rivet removal tools are designed to ensure that you can preserve the integrity of your structural connections, even after installation.

Selecting the Right Structural Rivet Gun

Choosing the correct structural riveting tool ensures efficient, reliable fastening on every project:

• Pneumatic structural rivet gun - Delivers consistent pulling force for high-volume riveting on production lines and industrial sites where compressed air is available. Suited to continuous use with fast cycle times
• Battery-powered structural rivet tool - Provides portability for on-site work, remote locations, or anywhere a compressor is impractical. Ideal for construction, roofing, and field installation tasks

No matter the tool, confirm that the working capacity matches your rivet diameter (typically 4.8mm or 6.4mm) and the required pulling force for your structural fastening tool application.

Our technicians can advise on nose tip compatibility and jaw sets for your specific structural rivets. Quick turnaround servicing and repairs are available from our team Australia-wide.
