Cup Lock System – Malmo Steels

Cuplock System

One of the most popular types of scaffolding systems is a Cuplock scaffolding system. This type of system is fully galvanized and can serve several purposes. Since it’s a kind of modular scaffolding, it mostly consists of vertical and horizontal components that users can combine to form a temporary structure suitable for various jobs. These components connect via a unique circular node locking design, providing users with greater flexibility and safety in their scaffolding designs.

Components:

Verticals or standards
Horizontals
Universal jacks
Beam Brackets
Hop-up brackets

Various Cuplock scaffolding parts and components go into the construction of Cuplock structures. Some of the main Cuplock scaffolding components include verticals, horizontals, universal jacks, intermediate transoms and hop-up brackets. To give you a better idea of how Cuplock scaffolding is constructed, check out the following information about the primary Cuplock components:

Component Details

Verticals or Standards

Made from 48.3mm diameter x 3.2mm thick high grade steel tube, Malmo Steels Lock system Standards (Vertical) are formed by two cups a fixed bottom cup which is welded to the Standard (Vertical) at pre-located intervals i.e. 500mm and a sliding top cup. The forged blade ends of the Ledger (Horizontal) are located into the bottom cup. The top cup is moved down and rotated to secure the components in place and tightened by a hammer blow to give a positive and rigid connection.

Horizontals

Made from 48.3mm diameter high grade steel tube with forged steel blade ends, which locate into the bottom cups of the Standard (Vertical) and are locked in place by the corresponding top cups.

Universal Jacks

Universal jacks insert into the top or bottom of a Cuplock scaffolding’s support structure. They’re used to adjust the scaffolding, with a maximum adjustment of a half-meter.

Intermediate Transforms

People use intermediate transoms to lock inner and outer horizontal ledgers together. They feature jaw-shaped ends on each side, and they provide intermediate support to standard scaffold boards. Made from 48.3mm diameter high grade steel tube. They rest upon the ledgers at right angles to reduce the span and provide extra support for boards. One end is provided with an integral locking device to prevent any movement along the ledgers during use.

Beam Bracket

Beam Brackets are made from 48.3mm diameter high grade steel tube and are used to provide support to beam formwork from also support standards with provision for accepting jacks or fork heads. It has a safe load carrying capacity of 1500 kgs. The beam bracket distributes the load throughout the surrounding cuplock system structure, thus reducing excessive strain on all components.

Hop-Up Brackets

Hop-up Brackets are made from 48.3mm diameter high grade steel tube and are used to increase the width of working platform used in conjunction with transoms / intermediate transoms or inside-board transoms. They incorporate a cup joint at the outside end to allow the fitting of an inside ledger which links the hop-up brackets and supports transoms / intermediate transoms.

Cuplock hop-up brackets come in multiple designs to support up to three boards beyond your scaffolding’s interior. It can be Tabular or Batten Hop-up Brackets. These brackets let users expand their working platforms.
