Kwik  Stage  Scaffold  System:  Kwik stage scaffolding is

                                               less expensive than Cup lock scaffolding; it is painted yellow
                                               in color or it can be customized, and is made from premium

                                               quality steel.

                                               It has been used in the building industry for years and it is
                                               has a trusted reputation for reliability and security.








         3. Tube and Clamp (Pipe and Coupler) Scaffolds

         Tube-and-clamp scaffolds are frequently used where obstructions or non-rectangular structures

         are encountered. The scaffolds are infinitely adjustable in height and width. They can also be
         used for irregular and circular vertical configurations.

         Personnel erecting tube-and-clamp scaffolds must be experienced. It is strongly recommended

         that, for each application, a sketch or drawing be prepared by someone who understands gen-
         eral structural design and the need for diagonal and cross bracing. In general, this type of scaf-

         fold takes longer to erect than the standard tubular frame type. Tube-and-clamp scaffolds above
         10 meters (33 feet) must be designed by a professional engineer.
