Compression Systems
Compression Systems
To complement the Tension System range, Leviat designs and manufactures Ancon Compression Systems.
These systems use the same fork connectors and locking nuts as the Tension System but use high strength tubes instead of bars. They are available in both carbon and stainless steels in a variety of sizes and finishes. To enable us to design a compression system the following information is required:
- Pin to pin dimension
- Applied system load
- Material and surface finish required
For more information please contact us.
UCKA and CE Marking
Ancon Compression Systems are UKCA and CE marked to the harmonised European Standard EN 1090-1, Execution of Steel Structures and Aluminium Structures: Requirements for Conformity Assessment of Structural Components.

The health, safety and wellbeing of all those who work with us and for us, as well as the general public, is always our No. 1 priority.
CE, UKCA and CE UKNI marking from Leviat
From January 1st 2021, the UK will recognise both the EU CE marking approvals, for a time limited period, and the new UK based approval system, which will be known as the UKCA mark. The EU will only recognise CE marking by EU notified bodies as proof of efficacy moving forwards. Leviat has been working closely with both EU notified and UK approved bodies to ensure compliance is achieved at the earliest possible opportunity and we can confirm that we have obtained all relevant certification.
