Light Weight Frames

Various permutations and combinations of access scaffold systems or temporary staging are available from the SCAFFCO to suit heavy duty application or medium duty application requirements of project sites including supporting a work crew and materials to aid in the construction, block work, cladding, plaster, paint or any other maintenance works for buildings, industrial complexes, oil & gas installations, bridges and all other man made structures. Additionally specialized components used to aid access scaffolds in their use as a temporary structure are available from the SCAFFCO. Such components include heavy duty load bearing transoms, ladders or stairway units for the ingress and egress of the scaffold, beams ladder/unit types used to span obstacles at construction project.

Heavy Duty (H.D.) Access Scaffold Systems are suitable for high loads while providing safe solution and versatile access for working at maximum heights.

Medium Duty (M.D.) Access Scaffold Systems utilize frames with no loose parts and are designed to be erected fast while providing maximum safety and stability, making it a contractor preferred access solution for use in typical project sites.

    Cuplock System can be efficiently used as a H.D. Access Scaffold making the process of erection and dismantling fast and simple.

    One of the key strengths of the Cuplock System is the simplicity of the component range. Basic horizontals and verticals form the core of all structures. However, with the addition of a small number of special components, complex scaffolds can be constructed which safely address complex access requirements. It’s reliable and safe on facades of various layout and height shapes. It is facilitated by external and internal hop up brackets, bracing parts, operation decks with integrated ascents or ladders, truss beams and anchoring elements.

    Safe and Versatile Mobile Towers and Scaffold Towers with Cuplock System

    Square or rectangular access towers can be erected with standard Cuplock System components using standard base jack or adjustable castor wheels for full mobility. The working platform can be formed using either scaffold boards or battens. When scaffold boards are used, intermediate transoms will be necessary if the width of the tower is greater than the safe span of the boards.

    The maximum height of a free-standing mobile tower for use internally is 3.5 times the minimum base dimension. For free-standing towers used externally, the maximum height must not exceed 3 times the minimum base dimension. For heights greater than this, additional measures should be taken to ensure the tower is rigid and stable. This can be done by using stabilizers, weighing the base of the tower or tying the tower in to a stable structure.

    Staircase Tower with Cuplock System offers a Full Range of Stairway Solutions for Temporary Access

    Staircase Tower provides a safe access solution for various construction purposes. Staircase towers generate significant time savings for everyone on site. There are two basic staircase options in the Cuplock System range for light, medium duty and heavy duty requirements.

    The scaffold system will provide the main structure for the tower. The staircase tower offers a stable, rigid structure designed with a key emphasis on user safety. Board landing platforms with steel or timber battens can be used. Stairways are rigid and provide firm, non-slip treads to ensure maximum security for users.

    Staircase towers are based on two plan layouts, using 8 or 10 leg tower structures. Each staircase type comes in 1.5m or 2.0m lifts. Different lift sizes may be combined in the same tower to suit platform levels.

    Staircase Tower with Shorelok System

    Shorelok staircase towers are ideally suited for all construction sites requirements. They are particularly fast and cost-effective to install and are robust enough for the toughest jobs.

    H Frames : Standard / H Frame with Ladder / Italian System as M.D. Access Scaffold System

    High quality M.D. external system is designed to be easily erected and dismantled without help from professionals. The “H” frame, or vertical member, has welded square or round pins on top for ease of connection. This allows for erecting the frames faster and to any height with maximum safety and stability. The system is designed not to include any loose fittings inside.

    The external systems have a three-way support to hold greater loads and ensure greater stability. The vertical frames (H frames) are available in side ladder type, 3 step ladder, and normal “H” shape. Non-standard sizes are available, on request, for a minimal charge. Vertical H Frame height equals 200 cm and width equals 99 cm.

    H Frames : Korean System, New Korean System as M.D. Access Scaffold System

    The Korean style exterior system, otherwise known as beatty and load tower type, allows working on the interior as well as the exterior of civil construction works. Its vertical member has an arched construction with a height of 1.70 m and a width of 1.22 m, therefore allowing for a greater area on top of the work platform. The 2.20 m long cross braces safely hold the two frames of the system together.
