An indispensable component in the scaffolding system – scaffolding coupler
The main purpose of the scaffolding coupler is to connect multiple steel pipes to form a stable scaffolding structure. It is an important component of the scaffolding system. It has the important functions of docking, fixing, locking and supporting. It plays a role of fastening and connection in the scaffolding system, which can ensure the stability and safety of the scaffolding structure. There are many types of scaffolding couplers, which are divided into swivel couplers, fixed couplers, etc. These scaffolding couplers have different characteristics and are suitable for different construction conditions. They are also more widely used in scaffolding projects. Users can choose the appropriate scaffolding coupler according to specific construction needs and scenarios. The quality and safety of the scaffolding coupler are also very important. It is necessary to ensure that the scaffolding coupler meets the relevant standards and specifications of the scaffolding to ensure the safety and stability of the construction project. The scaffolding coupler produced by EK scaffolding usually has the following steps: 1. Select the appropriate material according to the requirements of the scaffolding coupler. 2. Design and manufacture a suitable stamping die. 3. Punch the raw materials through the cooperation of the punch press and the mold. 4. After punching, use the bending machine to bend and form. 5. Weld the
How to customize the scaffolding prop
Scaffolding prop is an important tool for providing temporary vertical support in the building system and one of the most important elements in the scaffolding industry. Scaffolding prop is also called adjustable prop. They are flexible to install and can adjust the height, load and distance according to different scenarios. They can be quickly set up and accurately leveled. The scaffolding prop has a solid structure to ensure the overall structural integrity of the project and the safety of personnel. Installation of Scaffolding Prop:First, confirm whether the construction ground is solid and can bear the weight of the scaffolding. If the ground cannot bear the load of the scaffolding, the risk of tipping is very high. Place the base plate according to the construction plan on a sufficiently solid ground. This is to make the force on the ground more uniform and ensure the stability of the scaffolding. Install the scaffolding prop on the base plate and adjust the height of the scaffolding prop. Here, the inner tube of the scaffolding prop needs to be inserted into the outer tube and adjusted to the specified height. The height is fixed with nuts and pins. Details of Scaffolding Prop Length and width: Adjustable Material standard: Steel plastic Type Heavy duty or
Maintenance and Inspection Points for Steel Props
Steel Props play an important role in building construction, ensuring structural stability and safety at the construction site. In order to maintain the functionality of steel props and extend their service life, steel props need regular maintenance and inspection. The following are the key points for steel props maintenance and inspection: 1. Regular Inspectiona. Appearance InspectionPerform a regular appearance inspection of steel props to ensure that there is no obvious damage or deformation. Check steel props for problems such as bending, cracks or surface corrosion.b. Connection Component InspectionInspect the connection components of steel props, such as bolts, nuts and locking devices, to ensure that they are not loose or damaged. The stability of the connection components is crucial to the overall stability of the steel props system.c. Coating and Anti-Rust InspectionEnsure that the anti-rust coating of steel props is not peeling or worn. The integrity of the anti-rust coating helps prevent steel corrosion and extend its service life. 2. Maintenance Measuresa. CleaningClean the surface of steel props regularly to remove dirt, oil and other substances that may affect its function. Use appropriate cleaning agents and tools to avoid damage to the steel props.b. Painting and rust preventionRepair any parts found to be corroded or with damaged coatings. Repaint with rust-proof paint to protect the steel props from environmental factors.c. Replace damaged
How to use Base Jack safely?
Base Jack is made of the bottom layer of the scaffolding, which has the functions of bearing, stability and maintaining balance. Appropriate materials and sizes can ensure the safety performance of base jack. base jack is generally made of high-quality steel plates with a thickness of not less than 5mm. The size also needs to be determined according to the specifications. In daily use, it is also necessary to check regularly and replace the aging or damaged base jack in time. When placing base jack, a solid and flat ground should be selected. The base should fit closely with the ground and be placed accurately in the designated position according to the requirements to ensure the stability of the scaffolding. When building, a 50mm-100mm Base Jack should be connected under each vertical pole. The height adjustment of base jack must be marked in advance so that the construction personnel can adjust it uniformly. The base also needs to be kept dry and clean to avoid looseness, corrosion and other phenomena. The base of base jack also has the function of increasing the contact area between the scaffolding and the ground to prevent the scaffolding from settling due to the small force area of the vertical pole, thereby ensuring the stability and
EK scaffolding safety gate
Scaffolding safety gates are widely used in scaffolding systems and are an essential accessory in all scaffolding systems. Scaffolding safety gates can improve the safety and mobility of scaffolding systems, prevent people and objects from falling from high altitudes, facilitate the movement of workers on the platform level, and control the number of people passing through to avoid congestion. Most safety gates can be installed quickly and easily using standard half-coupler accessories, which are pre-welded to the door bracket and can be easily assembled by tightening the bolts. Scaffolding safety gates can be used vertically to connect between pedals, or in parallel to connect the upper and lower levels of the platform to prevent people and objects from falling. Common scaffolding safety gates are made of high-quality steel, surface-treated with high-visibility colors, and have a flat overall design to minimize tripping hazards.

How to use cuplock scaffolding system safely?
No matter what type of scaffolding it is, workers may make mistakes during operation. Scaffolding accidents cause many workers to be injured or even killed every year. The structures and modules of different scaffolding systems can vary greatly, but the measures to keep workers safe are similar. Cuplock scaffolding system also needs to take relevant measures during use to ensure construction safety. First, ensure that every worker needs to be trained to operate the cuplock scaffolding system. This training includes how to safely build cuplock scaffolding, how to ensure your own safety when using cuplock scaffolding, how to dismantle cuplock scaffolding, as well as cuplock scaffolding anti-fall training and other details. Second, before using the cuplock scaffolding system, you need to check the ground conditions, stay away from dangerous scenarios such as overhead wires, obstacles, and changes in surface altitude, to ensure the stability and level of the base, and all accessories need to be fixed in place. Third, the load-bearing range of the cuplock scaffolding system must be strictly controlled. It is prohibited to carry items exceeding the weight limit, including workers. The guardrails need to be fixed in place and it is strictly prohibited to prevent any items. Fourth, the cuplock scaffolding system must be fully supported or tied to the
