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.
