PANEL PULLER FOR TIMBER CONSTRUCTION GEKO

GEKO: 360° rotating plates and reversible ratchet for timber construction

GEKO consists of two components: the rotating galvanised steel plates and a reversible ratchet made from galvanised cast steel.
The plates can be fixed in any position thanks to their full 360° rotation. The plate geometry includes 4 countersunk Ø8 mm holes, 3 countersunk Ø12 mm holes and 4 cylindrical Ø8 mm holes, compatible with HBS Ø6–12 mm, LBS Ø7 mm, VGS Ø11 mm screws. The plates can be replaced using the GEKOP accessory – galvanised replacement plates measuring 60x160 mm.
The ratchet, fitted with an ergonomic PVC handle, enables progressive and controlled pressure adjustment. With the optional CLAMP1 accessory, GEKO can also be adapted to fasten perforated plates and bracing elements.

Is GEKO a professional timber construction tool for structural timber?

Yes. Among the range of timber woodworking tools, GEKO is a panel puller designed for structural woodworking, applying pulling force progressively and in a controlled manner without impacting or deforming the timber surface.
This compensates for dimensional tolerances during prefabrication and preserves the geometry of the joint between assembled elements.

Are there other timber woodworking tools in the GEKO panel puller range?

Yes. The GEKO range includes three versions: GEKO MINI for detailed applications and confined spaces, GEKO for standard on-site applications, GEKO MAXI for large panels and high loads.
Each version is designed for a specific woodworking application while maintaining the same core construction concept across professional woodworking hand tools.
