Frame scaffolding is a type of plug-in scaffolding system with a main structure in the shape of a door frame, consisting of vertical frames, cross braces, and diagonal braces. Its shape resembles a "door," hence the name. The system features a simple structure, easy installation, and high load capacity, and is widely used in exterior wall construction, interior decoration, bridge work, and billboard erection.
Frame scaffolding is composed of multiple standardized components, including the main frame, which serves as the primary load-bearing structure; cross braces and ledgers; scaffold planks or platforms; adjustable base jacks; adjustable U-head jacks; ladders for access; and caster wheels for easy mobility.
Frame scaffolding is lightweight, quick to assemble and dismantle, versatile, safe, and stable. It can be used as a construction scaffold or combined with scaffold boards, ladders, and casters to form a mobile work platform.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is frame scaffolding?
Frame scaffolding is a system composed of door-shaped main frames, cross braces, and other standardized components. It is quick to install, structurally stable, and widely used in construction and decoration.
What materials are commonly used?
It is usually made from high-quality carbon steel tubes, with surface treatment such as painting or hot-dip galvanizing to improve corrosion resistance.
What are the common sizes?
Typical heights are 1.7m, 1.93m, and 2.0m, with widths of 0.9m or 1.2m. Custom sizes are available upon request.
What is the load capacity?
The load capacity depends on the height and accessories used. Generally, a single level can carry about 200-300 kg/m².
How is it installed?
It uses plug-in or bolt connections with cross braces for quick setup. Dismantling is simply done in reverse order, requiring no special tools.
Is frame scaffolding mobile?
Yes. By installing caster wheels, it can be moved easily, making it suitable for indoor projects that require frequent repositioning.
