List of Scaffolding Components:

1. Standards

The standards also known as uprights; they are perpendicular tubes that shift
the entire weight of the structure to the ground where they lean on a square
base plate to scatter the weight.
 

2. Ledgers

Ledgers are flat tubes that join between the standards.


3. Transoms
Transoms lean on the ledgers at the right angles. Major transoms are
positioned next to the standards; they support the standards that are in place
and give support for the boards. To render additional support for the boards,
intermediate transoms are placed between the main transoms.

Other Basic Components of the Scaffolding


1. Scaffold Tubes

Scaffold tubes are generally made of aluminium or steel though there is


composite scaffolding that utilises fibril-wound tubes of glass fibre in a
polyester or nylon matrix due to the high cost of composite tube, which
is normally used only when there is a danger from overhead electric
cables that can’t be cut off.
2. Scaffold Couplers
Couplers are fittings that hold the tubes together. The most familiar are
known as scaffold couplers and there are three basic types, which are
Putlog Couplers, Right-angle Couplers and Swivel Couplers.
3. Adjustable Base Plates

You can select from different height-adjustable base plates that come
with strong and self-cleaning round threads to adjust to the ground. It
comes with colour and notch markings to render safeguard against
over-winding.
