Scaffolding Systems

Scaffolding Systems

A scaffold is temporary scaffolding support for construction and industrial access, working, and shoring. There are 3 main types of scaffold: systems scaffold, tube fitting scaffold, and frame scaffolding. System scaffolding is also called modular scaffolding. It is with prefabricated, specially designed, and fixed sizes of scaffolding basic elements & parts (like scaffolding standards, scaffolding horizontals, diagonal braces, base jacks, planks, brackets, stairs, etc). There are 6 main types of system scaffolding: ringlock, cuplock, kwikstage, quick lock, crab shoring system scaffold, tube lock scaffolding, etc. The tube and fitting scaffold are composite by OD 48.3mm standard scaffold tubes. The scaffold tubes can be a standard length of 6m (20’) or 6.4m (21’). They can be cut into any required lengths like 5m, 4m, 3m, 2.5m, 2m, 1.5m, 1.0m, 0.5m, 0.3m, etc. Scaffold fittings and couplers fix the scaffold tube in position and then form scaffold parts of standards, ledger, braces, transoms, etc. Frame scaffolding is scaffolding material with double posts itself. The shape is like a frame: a horizontal tube welded on two posts on the left and right. Frame scaffolding always has designed widths of 4 feet, 5 feet, 3 feet (36”), etc.
