Benefits of using steel scaffolding
When you want to buy or rent a new scaffolding system, you are spoilt for choice these days. This also applies to the material your scaffolding system is made of. Modern scaffolding systems are made of steel or aluminium - which immediately raises the question of which material is better. In this week's blog article, we want to introduce you to the advantages of steel scaffolding and what you should look out for when buying it.
Recent market developments in freight rates
In terms of price development, there is a lot going on right now at almost all levels in the scaffolding and construction industry. Among others, prices for steel and aluminium have risen significantly in recent times. This is also due to rising transport costs. In this week's blog post, we want to give you an overview of the current developments in logistics and transport.
Recent market developments for steel and aluminium
Hardly anyone in the scaffolding or construction industry will have failed to notice in the last few weeks that there is currently a lot going on in terms of raw material prices. Russia's invasion of Ukraine at the end of February has led to renewed significant price increases for steel, aluminium and freight rates. Read more about the current situation here.
Beginner's guide to scaffolding types: the cuplock modular scaffold
The types of modular scaffolds are numerous - and anyone working in scaffolding can distinguish a Ringlock scaffold from a Kwickstage or Cuplock scaffold in no time at all. This is because modular scaffolds in particular are enjoying great popularity due to their prefabricated components which make handling particularly easy. In our beginner's guide, we’ll introduce you to the Cuplock modular scaffold.
Sustainability in scaffolding: how to reuse your standard transoms
It is hard to imagine any industry without the idea of sustainability. Scaffolding systems must not only comply with the highest safety standards , but also be cost-efficient and durable. That's why our team is constantly looking for new solutions to make your work with and on the scaffold as sustainable as possible. Did you know that you can use your RINGSCAFF modular transoms for more than one purpose? Read more about how you can make your next scaffolding project particularly sustainable here.
The difference between painted and galvanised scaffolds
A scaffold should not only be made of stable, high-quality material so you can use it for a long time, but it should also be protected against the effects of the environment to which it is exposed. That is why good scaffolding systems are protected against corrosion. In scaffolding, painting or galvanising steel are particularly popular. Read here why this is the case and which method suits your use cases most.
5 reasons to use a ringlock system scaffold
Ringlock scaffolding can be considered one of the most modern scaffolding systems in the world. In our last blog post, we explained the design and application areas of a modular scaffold with ringlock connection. But for whom and why is this type of modular scaffolding exactly the right one? In fact, there are many good reasons to use a ringlock scaffold like RINGSCAFF. We have summarised 5 of them for you here.
Beginner's guide to scaffolding types: the ringlock modular scaffold
Cuplock, Kwickstage, Ringlock, you name it – there are numerous connection methods and types of modular scaffolds. Scafom-rux highly versatile modular scaffolding system RINGSCAFF, for example, belongs to the ringlock scaffolding type, also called ring scaffold or rosette scaffold. The RINGSCAFF scaffold can thus not only be erected quickly, but is also extremely resilient. Of course, the "old hands" in scaffolding have been familiar with this for a long time. But as a newbie, you first have to get an overview of the different systems and types of modular scaffolding. Read here how a ringlock modular scaffold is composed and what advantages its connection method has.
Why a 1 ½ inch scaffold tube does not have a 1 ½ inch diameter
Whether you know it as 48.3 scaffold tube or 1 ½ inch tube - the diameter of a standardised scaffold tube is always 48.3 mm. But why is it sometimes called 1 ½ inch scaffold tube? Surely something doesn't fit? Read here what it's all about.
