Extendable Intermediate Scaffold Transom

The Extendable Intermediate Transom is a key component in comprehensive scaffolding systems, providing adjustable support between main transoms. Its extendable, telescopic design allows for flexible spacing and ensures optimal stability across varying scaffolding configurations, including those utilising treated scaffold boards and heavy-duty scaffolding frames. This load-bearing transom is engineered to distribute loads effectively, minimising deflection and enhancing the overall safety of your structure, making it ideal for both construction and industrial scaffolding applications.

FAQs 

1. What is a transom on a scaffold? 

• A transom on a scaffold is a horizontal component that spans between ledgers, providing support for scaffold boards or decking. It helps create a stable working platform. For high-quality transoms, explore our range here 

2. What is the difference between a ledger and a transom in scaffolding? 

• Ledgers are horizontal tubes that run along the length of the scaffold, connecting vertical standards. Transoms run perpendicular to ledgers, spanning between them to support the working platform.  

3. What is the difference between a transom and a Putlog? 

• A transom spans between ledgers to support scaffold boards. A Putlog, historically, was a shorter horizontal member with one end resting on a masonry wall and the other on a ledger. Modern putlogs are used in system scaffolding and connect to the scaffolding itself. For a full range of modern scaffolding components, check out our selection here

4. What is the purpose of a transom? 

• The primary purpose of a transom is to provide a stable and secure support for scaffold boards or decking, creating a safe working platform on the scaffold. See our durable transom options here

5. What is the overhang on a scaffold transom? 

• The overhang on a scaffold transom refers to the length of the transom that extends beyond the ledger. This overhang is typically regulated by safety standards to ensure stability and prevent overloading. Specific measurements vary depending on the scaffolding system and regulatory requirements.  

6. Can I hire scaffold Transoms?
