Frame Scaffolding System

Frame scaffolding, also known as frame and brace or sectional scaffolding, is one of the most widely used scaffolding systems in construction, particularly for residential and light commercial projects. Its popularity stems from its simplicity, affordability, and ease of assembly.

Key Features

Modular Design: Frame scaffolding consists of prefabricated vertical frames connected by cross-braces, forming a stable, square configuration.

Lightweight and Economical: The components are typically lighter than those in system scaffolding, making them easier to handle and transport. This also makes the system cost-effective and ideal for short-term or frequently changing job sites.

Quick Assembly and Disassembly: The straightforward design allows for rapid setup and breakdown, saving time and labor costs.

Versatility: Available in various configurations such as walk-through frames, ladder frames, H-frames, and shoring frames, frame scaffolding can be adapted to suit different project requirements and access needs.

Compatibility: Accessories like ladders, caster wheels, guardrails, and toeboards can be easily integrated for enhanced safety and mobility.

Components

Frames: The vertical sections, available in different heights and widths, form the main structure.

Cross Braces: Diagonal braces connect the frames, providing rigidity and stability.

Base Plates/Adjustable Jacks: Distribute the load and ensure a level foundation.

Platforms/Planks: Provide the working surface for laborers, made from wood, metal, or composites.

Guardrails and Toeboards: Safety features to prevent falls and dropped materials.

Couplers and Clamps: Securely connect various components.
