A
multipurpose scaffold system which can be used for all forms of access and support
structures in the building and construction industries, ship building, offshore
construction and industrial maintenance. It provides major savings in
erection and dismantling times thus minimizing on-site costs. When not in use,
its modular construction ensures minimal space requirements for storage.
A unique node point connection allows up to four horizontal members to be connected
to a vertical member in one single action - without the use of nuts and bolts
or wedges. The locking device is formed by two cups, a fixed lower cup which is
welded to the vertical component at pre-located intervals and a sliding upper
cup. The forged blade ends of the horizontal components are located into the lower
cup, the upper cup is moved down and rotated to secure the components in place
and a hammer blow then results in a positive and rigid connection. It
is extremely versatile. It can be erected for straight, curved and circular configuration
for both access and support, and also for independent and mobile towers.
Both vertical and horizontal members are manufactured from 48.3mm overall
diameter x 3.2mm gauge high tensile steel to British Standard 4360 Grade 50
(minimum ultimate tensile stress = 534N/mm2). With no loose parts and
with corrosion protection by hot dip galvanizing to British Standard 729, minimum
thickness of the zinc coating is 85 microns. Conforms to BS1139 Part
5, HD1000, OSHA and Australian New Zealand Standards |
