Aluminium Scaffold Tubes
Standard: BS 1139 – 1.2
Aluminium scaffold tubes, also known as scaffolding poles, are essential components in construction, known for their lightweight yet robust characteristics. These tubes are designed to provide reliable support and stability in various applications, making them a preferred choice for professionals.
Applications:
Aluminium scaffold tubes are versatile and can be utilised in a variety of applications, including:
Scaffolding Systems: Ideal for constructing sturdy and lightweight scaffolding structures for construction, maintenance, and repair work.
Structural Frameworks: Suitable for building trusses and bridges, offering strong support for temporary structures.
Event Infrastructure: For outdoor events, aluminium scaffold tubes can be used to construct stages, lighting rigs, and other temporary structures. Their lightweight nature makes them easy to transport and set up, while their strength ensures stability during use.
Strength-to-Weight Ratio
Aluminium alloy offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. While not as strong as steel, aluminium tubes are much lighter, making them easier to handle, transport, and install. This improves worker safety and efficiency on the job site.
Corrosion Resistance
Aluminium has excellent natural resistance to corrosion and rust. It forms a protective oxide layer that prevents further oxidation. This allows aluminium scaffold tubes to maintain their integrity and appearance over time, even in outdoor environments.
Quick Assembly and Disassembly
The lightweight nature of aluminium allows for faster setup and takedown of scaffolding systems. This efficiency not only saves time but also reduces the likelihood of accidents during the construction process, as workers spend less time at height.
