Description
The Cuplock scaffolding system is a type of modular or systems scaffolding that consists mainly of pre-engineered horizontal and vertical components that combine in a systematic manner to present its users with a temporary structure that proves highly useful in construction projects of the modern world.
Key Components:
- Standards (Verticals):Vertical steel pipes with fixed bottom cups at intervals and sliding top cups to lock ledgers.
- Ledgers (Horizontals):Horizontal pipes with blade ends that fit into the cups.
- Transoms:Provide intermediate support to platforms.
- Base jacks:Allow vertical adjustment and distribute the load.
- Decking/Planks:Platform boards for walking or working.
- Diagonal Braces:Add stability and strength to the scaffolding.
Advantages:
- Fast assembly/disassembly– fewer components and no bolts.
- Strong and durable– high load-carrying capacity.
- Versatile– adaptable to straight or curved structures.
- Safe– provides sturdy working platforms.
- Low maintenance– galvanized for rust resistance.
