What are the main components of a scaffold?
As is well known, scaffolding is a product that is freely constructed and combined according to the requirements of the job. In short, scaffolding is an assembled product that is built by combining various components, rather than a single product. So, what are the main components of a scaffold assembled from?
Overall, a completed scaffold should include components such as a frame, tie rods, diagonal braces, H-barriers, kickboards, platform boards (ensuring at least one platform board every 2 meters in height), swivel casters, adjustable legs, diagonal supports, etc. The specific details are as follows:
1. Aluminum frame: Generally, the frame of a scaffold is mainly welded with circular pipes of diameter 50.8x δ 2 or 50.8x δ 1.8. The aluminum frame is equipped with 3, 4, and 5 horizontal pipes, as well as a 2-level frame specifically designed for guardrails. Platform boards can be placed on each horizontal pipe at intervals of 460mm. The common heights of the frame are: 2.32 meters for the 5-level frame, 1.85 meters for the 4-level frame, 1.39 meters for the 3-level frame, and 0.85 meters for the 2-level frame guardrail.
2. Horizontal and diagonal braces: Scaffolds mainly rely on the combination of horizontal and diagonal braces to form the overall structure. The number and construction method of horizontal and diagonal braces play an important role in the stability of the overall structure of the scaffold. Among them, the hooks at both ends of the diagonal rod have self-locking function; The end hook is made of high-quality casting and die-casting, with high strength to ensure the safety of the tower.
3. Skirting board: Assembled around the platform board of the operation layer, the platform board is enclosed to effectively prevent tools placed on the platform board from falling off and ensure that personnel work on the platform board, preventing foot stepping and accidents.
4. Platform board: divided into two types: open platform board and standard platform board, using frame and multi-layer glued waterproof and anti slip, flame-retardant high-density board riveting combination.
5. External support rod: The external support rod is used to support the four corners of the scaffold, fix the bottom of the scaffold, ensure the stability of the entire scaffold, and is easy to operate.
6. Universal casters: The scaffold uses regular European casters, with a single caster bearing a weight of 800KG, and the outer ring of the caster is wrapped in polyurethane to prevent scratching the ground.
7. Adjustable legs: The casters are also equipped with adjustable screws that can be adjusted appropriately to ensure that the scaffold is suitable for different heights of ground environments. The adjustable leg length is 600mm, with 300mm having screws and the remaining 300mm not having screws.
8. Safety buckle: The safety buckle is used to connect and lock the upper and lower door frames, with the function of positioning and locking the door frames to prevent them from falling off.
