Full Description:
Original designed and invented by SGB Company with exceptional safety margins, the Cuplock Scaffolding System (also called CUPLOK) is a multifunctional modular steel pipe scaffolding system.Reasonable node joint structure, simple Manufacturing Process, easy and quick erection, especially widely construction application, which can fully meet the construction requirements of buildings such as houses, bridges, tunnels, chimneys, and water towers. Compared with the traditional type of Pipe & Couplers scaffold, the Cuplock System scaffolding has the broad development and application prospects all over the world.
Cuplock Scaffolding System Introduction & Application
Operation Principle
The Cuplock scaffolding is a kind of scaffolding with using a creative design” Cup” as node points. It is only needed to be welded fixed bottom cup and pre-installed movable Top Cup on the Vertical pole, inserted horizontal ledger with welded pins between two Cup node points without any scattered accessories such as bolts, nuts, and plugs. The Cup Node points are spaced on all standards at 500mm intervals to ensure that correct working lifts can be provided and handrails are positioned at the correct height. Four components are secured in one action ensuring the system is faster to erect than traditional methods.
System Cuplock Features
It has the advantages of rapid disassembly, labor-saving, stable and reliable structure, complete equipment, strong versatility, large bearing capacity, safe and reliable, easy to process, not easy to lose, easy to manage, easy to transport, and widely used. It has greatly enhanced the work effectiveness
Surface Treatment & Application Life
According to the requirement clients, our company NYALA Industrial SCAFFOLD can supply surface treatment of Painting, Powder Coated, Electro-Galvanized, and Hot-dip Galvanized.
Painting service life: 1 year in the dry construction environment
Powder Coated service life: 2-3 years in the dry construction environment
Electro-Galvanized service life: 2-3 years in the dry construction environment
Hot-dip galvanized service life: at least 10 years in the dry construction environment
Note: Above the service life only refers to the surface treatment of scaffoldings, not considering the components’ damage, loss, deformation, etc.
Cuplock Scaffolding System Market.
At present, the main markets of Cuplock Scaffolding System are in America, Europe（just like UK）, Northern Africa (Sudan, Algeria, Kenya), Middle East (United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar), Singapore.
Main Feature of Cuplock System Scaffolding
High bearing capacity
The pole connection is a coaxial socket, the crossbar is connected with the Vertical by the joint of the bowl cup, and the joint has reliable bending, shearing and torsion resistance. Moreover, the axial line of each member intersects at one point, and the node is in the plane of the frame. Therefore, the CUPLOCK structure is stable and reliable, and the bearing capacity is high. (The overall bearing capacity is increased, which is about 15% higher than the fastener-type steel scaffolding in the same situation. Quick erection, all Ringlock Scaffolds are pre-measured and just a hammer is required when erection
Not easy to lose
These type of Cuplock scaffold has no loose fittings, eliminating bolting and minimizing the loss of accessories. Because of forged top cup and ledger blade accessories, these components are resistant to hitting. No special maintenance or repair is required.
Multi-function
According to the specific construction requirements, it can form single and double-row scaffolds, support frames, support columns, material lifting frames, climbing scaffolds, cantilever frames and other functional construction equipment's with different frame size, shape and carrying capacity. It can also be used for building sheds, sheds, lighthouses, bridges, oilfield construction and other buildings. Particularly suitable for erecting curved scaffolding and heavy-duty support.
Components’ Size & Weight of NYALA Industrial Cuplock System
The basic structural components of the Cuplock scaffolding system are Vertical Poles(Standards), Horizontal Ledgers, Diagonal Braces, Jack Bases, Steel Planks, etc. The auxiliary accessories include Intermediate Transom, Inside Intermediate Transoms, Omega Transom, Hop-Up Bracket, Omega Hop-Up Bracket, Steel Ladder, Stairways, etc.
Cuplock Standards/Verticals
These items from the Vertical Members of the scaffolding are made from Q345B high tensile steel tube with a size Diameter 48.3mm X thickness 3.25mm. The standard includes a fixed bottom cup which is welded at 500mm intervals, with a movable top cup that can secure up to four components.
These cups are the fixing node points for the horizontal ledgers, hop-up brackets, transoms, and ancillary items. At the top of the standard usually comes with Spigot that allows the further connection with other standards.
At the bottom of the standard, there is a corresponding drilled hole to allow below standards to be bolted together.
