The Tomahawk Bracket is specifically developed for first-floor edge protection. The bracket is adjustable to span floor joists to fix to the sides or ends of smart joists (also referred to as I-Joists or LVL Joists. It can also be fixed just as easily to first-floor beams or lintel beams around the perimeter of the building frame. The Tomahawk System is available for hire or sale at EWRG.
