The tube and coupler scaffold is composed of steel tubes and couplers connected together to form scaffolding used in construction. This type of scaffold is still commonly used in certain regions.

      Steel tubes, which can be black steel tube or galvanized steel pipe, are typically made from Q235 grade steel. Scaffolding Couplers come in various types and can be assembled with steel tubes to accommodate different architectural shapes.

Advantages Of Purchasing Tube And Coupler Scaffolding:

AJ Building offers couplers in different sizes and types of steel tubes, providing customized services to meet individual purchasing needs. They have the following advantages:

1. Greater Flexibility:

While modular scaffolding like ring lock scaffolding is widely used in construction, its dimensions and design are fixed upon purchase, lacking the flexibility to alter the scaffold configuration later. However, tube and coupler scaffolding is more flexible. It can be built on-site, allowing for perfect height and width adjustments for any job. All you need are the correct quantities of pipes, couplers, and any desired accessories. Each time, you receive a customized version.

2. Sturdiness and Stability:

The steel pipes provided by AJ Building are made from high-grade steel, excelling in toughness and strength. Even for constructing tall and large scaffolds, these robust steel pipes offer better load-bearing capabilities. When properly designed and constructed, there's no need to worry about scaffold collapse or breakage. If you lack experience in this area, you can contact us, and our professional team will assist you.

3. Better Transport and Storage Options:

Tube and coupler scaffolding is reusable, typically having a lifespan of 5-10 years. Compared to modular scaffolding, they have a smaller volume, making transportation more convenient. Couplers are smaller accessories, easier to store, and won't occupy much space in your warehouse.

What Are The Different Types Of Couplers?

1. Swivel Couplers: Connect two steel tubes at an adjustable angle. The coupler itself can rotate 360 degrees, providing high flexibility.

2. Fixed Couplers: These couplers have a fixed angle, connecting two steel tubes in a straight line, offering better rigidity to the scaffold.

3. Right-angle Couplers: Fixed at a 90-degree angle, these couplers connect two steel tubes, usually used in scaffold structures to create corners and intersections.

4. Sleeve Couplers: Used to connect two steel tubes, extending their length.

5. Clamp Couplers: Used to connect two rods by clamping them together through a locking mechanism.

      Overall: Pipe and coupler scaffolding are available in a variety of lengths and diameters. Connectors are used to join pipes together at various angles, allowing scaffolding to be built in a variety of configurations to meet the specific needs of the job. Commonly used in high-rise buildings and other applications requiring a high level of stability and safety. They can also be combined with other types of scaffolding, such as system scaffolding or suspended scaffolding, to create more complex scaffolding systems.

FAQ

What Is Scaffold Couplers

• Scaffolding connectors are installed on scaffolding tubes to secure the posts. They connect inner posts to inner posts or inner posts to outer posts, secured using fixed or swivel fittings, depending on the structural application required for the scaffolding tubes and fittings.

What Are Three Types Of Couplers Commonly Used In Tube And Coupler Scaffold Systems?

• Scaffold Double Coupler (Right Angle Clamps) / Scaffold Swivel Coupler (Rotation Clamps) / Scaffold Single Coupler (Putlog)

What Is A Scaffold Tube?

• Tubes are usually made of steel or aluminum and are a traditional type of scaffolding.
