Heavy Duty Tube And Clamp Scaffold for Industrial Construction and Maintenance
Product Overview
The Cuplock Scaffolding System is a modular steel scaffold using a cup-and-blade connection - hammer down the upper cup to lock ledgers in seconds. Made from Q355B steel with hot-dip galvanized finish (≥55μm), it offers up to 120 kN load per standard and EN 12810 compliance.
Compared to frame or tube-clamp systems, Cuplock provides faster erection, higher strength, and 20+ years corrosion resistance - ideal for general construction and formwork falsework.
Why Choose Cuplock Scaffolding?
- Fast Connection - Secure joints in under 5 seconds with a hammer
- 120 kN Load Capacity - Handles heavy concrete formwork and bridges
- Hot-Dip Galvanized - No rust, no painting, 20+ year service life
- 90° Fixed Angles - Perfect for rectangular building perimeters
- EN 12810 Certified - Accepted on international projects
Key Applications
- Building facade access
- Slab & beam formwork falsework
- Bridge pier support
- Industrial maintenance access
