Systems scaffold
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Systems scaffold or "system scaffold" is a type of steel scaffold. This type of scaffold consists of varying sizes of vertical posts, horizontal and diagonal tubes. The vertical posts have fixed connection points spaced at regular intervals to which one can quickly connect horizontal and diagonal tubes, thus making the scaffold similar to a giant Tinkertoy set.
This type of scaffold has replaced tube and clamp scaffold for most applications. This is because systems scaffold can be assembled more quickly than tube and clamp scaffold, which requires extra time to manually tighten each clamp.
"SystemsTM Scaffold" is a trademark of ThyssenKrupp Safway, Inc., a scaffold company with locations throughout North America.
