A Guide to Scaffolding Props in Construction

图片
  In the dynamic theatre of construction, scaffolding is the essential stage that allows workers to perform safely at height. While we often picture the familiar tubular frames, a critical and often understated component of this system is the scaffolding prop. Also known as adjustable props, trench struts, or simply acrow props (after a popular brand name), these versatile tools are the workhorses of temporary structural support. They are the silent guarantors of stability, holding up the show until the permanent structure is ready to take the load. Primary Types and Their Functions Scaffolding props  are primarily adjustable steel columns used to provide temporary support to horizontal elements like slabs, beams, and formwork, or to shore up walls and trenches. They fall into two main categories:   Vertical Load-Bearing Props: These are the most common type. They consist of two telescopic steel tubes—an outer sleeve and an inner extension—perforated w...

Key differences in the production processes for different scaffolding

图片
  Scaffold systems  that look similar on a construction site can be quite different behind the scenes.  Ringlock ,  Cuplock  and  Kwikstage  are three widely used modular systems, and each one drives a distinct set of production choices — from raw-material selection and casting or fabrication methods, to finishing, testing and inventory strategies. Below is a buyer-oriented, practical look at how their manufacture typically differs and what those differences mean for cost, quality and lead times. 1. Component philosophy: cast parts vs. fabricated fittings One of the clearest production distinctions is whether the system relies primarily on cast, machined fittings or on fabricated/welded components.   Cuplock  historically uses a cup-style node. That node is often produced by ** casting** (or heavy stamping) to achieve the cup geometry in a single piece; the cups are then welded or mechanically fixed to the vertical standard. Casting allows a ...

The Difference Between Base Jacks And U-Head Jacks

图片
  For construction buyers and procurement professionals, selecting the right scaffolding accessories is just as important as choosing the main scaffolding system. Among the most essential components in any scaffold setup are Base Jacks and U-Head Jacks. While they may look similar, these two items serve different purposes and play distinct roles in ensuring scaffolding stability and load-bearing performance.   Understanding the difference between  base jacks  and  U-head jacks  helps buyers make informed decisions, control project costs, and ensure worker safety. Let’s explore their differences in terms of material, technology, and functional features, and why choosing a reliable supplier—such as ADTO Scaffold—can make a significant difference.   1. Purpose and Function   The  Base Jack , also known as a  Screw Jack  or  Adjustable Base Plate , is positioned at the bottom of the  scaffolding system . Its main function is t...
