What is the basic difference between Tube & Fitting & system scaffolding?

Tube and fitting scaffolds have multiple couplers and fittings required to secure tubes and boards in the anticipated arrangement. System scaffolds however are designed and manufactured with inbuilt connections, (for example the Layher wedge shown in Figure 2) omitting the need for of several loose fittings.

What is a tube and fitting scaffold?

What is Tube and Fitting Scaffolding? Tube and fitting scaffolding uses scaffold tube, boards and fittings to create a sturdy structure. The scaffold tubes are fixed to one another using couplers, clamps and fittings and, unlike system scaffolds, are not pre-assembled.

What is a system scaffold?

System scaffolding consists of vertical posts fixed to connection points at regular intervals. Horizontal and diagonal tubes are then slotted into this framework. It can be designed and installed into standardised bays, or interlocked to include cantilevers, bridges and protection fans.

What are the two types of tubular scaffolding?

There are two main types of scaffolding:

• Freestanding scaffolds, such as Independent towers,
• Independent tied scaffolds, such as frameworks tied to an adjacent structure.
