The key takeaways are that scaffolding is a temporary structure used to support work crews during construction projects, and the main types of scaffolding systems mentioned are cuplock systems, tube and coupler components, H-frame modular systems, and timber scaffolds.

The main types of scaffolding systems mentioned are cuplock systems, tube and coupler (fitting) components, H-frame modular system scaffolds, and timber scaffolds.

Some of the main features of the cuplock scaffolding system mentioned are that it is easy to use even in cramped spaces, consists of few components that are easy to assemble, allows for solutions to level differences during construction, and has high load bearing capacity.

CUPLOCK SYSTEM

BASIC STRUCTURE
The Basic unit of a cup lock scaffolding system consists of four horizontal elements which are fixed at a point along the
ver cal element. The same element which are part of the system can be used to create suitable solu on for the
purpose of assembling a stair tower, due to the high load bearing capacity associated with the system.

The Ver cal Elements in the system are equipped with locking kits, which are welded on to them at intervals of 500
mm or 1000 mm. This offers an economical and prac cal solu on for projects which have level difference at the
ground or at the deck. The locking kit consists of bo om and top cups. Where bo om cup is welded onto the ver cal
element and the Top cup or the upper cup is moveable along the length of the ver cal element.

With the mobility of the upper cup comes the responsibility of ensuring that it is not removed from the ver cal
element completely, owing to the structural difficul es that could occur due to the misplacement of the same. The
heads of the horizontal elements, which are structured out of the both end of an elements. With the help of hammer,
the upper cup can be rotated in the clockwise direc on and the head of the horizontal element is squeezed rigidly
between the upper and lower cups.

JACK
ALLMARC Made U Jack and Base jack are specially used for levelling
scaffolding, fast and accurate. Onsite coarse and fine adjustment can be
done up to 600 mm. Length can be customised as per Requirement.

U-HEAD JACK
Adjustable Jack S rrup head is used at the top of the ver cal Cuplock
standard in order to provide an addi onal maximum adjustment of length
up to 300 – 600 mm. The main applica on of U-Jacks is to hold MS Beams
and channel in places, upon which the shu ering plates are placed during
the construc on. The U-Jacks Are Manufactured using the roll threading
process, which increases safety and enables them to have a load bearing
capacity of up to 4 Tones.

BASE JACK
Base jacks are located in the bo om of the Cuplock standards (ver cal), they
provide adjustment for varia ons in ground levels, and they have a safe
working load of approx. 4 tons each
