Cuplock Access Scaffolding
Cuplock scaffolding system has been widely used worldwide as it comprises of lightweight materials and easy to assemble components. The use of cuplock as access scaffolding is known for its strength, durability and versatility. This flexible system allows workers to erect a rigid platform virtually anywhere.
The versatility of the cuplock system enable it to be used in a wide range of access scaffolding applications, from normal civil project to complex mechanical projects. The Cuplock system can be erected and dismantled very quickly. All components are of standard length and all fittings are repositioned. This minimizes the need of skilled operatives. Each component interlocks with the other in such a way that gravity ensures a positive connection.
The standard solution for optimum mobility and safe standing.
Cuplock Access Scaffolding Procedures
- 1. BASE JACK
The Adjustable Base Jack is used at the bottom of cuplock formwork to provide an additional maximum adjustment of 500mm Permissible Axial load 57KN. 
- 2. CUPLOCK STANDARDS (SPIGOT CONNECTOR)
SPIGOT CONNECTORThe Cuplock standards are available to suit any propping or access application economically, the standards can be used for support or access as required. 
Standard are connected end-to-end by an internal spigot. A bolt is used to connect to the lower standard.

The 57kN capacity Galvanised Universal screw jack has an adjustment range of over 500mm. It is manufactured from 3.8cm outside diameter steel tube with a rolled square thread for fast trouble-free operation.
The Jack can be used either at the top or the bottom of the vertical standard. In each case the unthreaded portion is inserted into the vertical so that the correct amount of jack always remains inside the vertical for safety.
DROPHEAD
The quick action drophead supplied complete with nuts and bolts, is designed to fit on standard props or adaptors for Cuplock formwork. They allow panels and beams to be struck and reused after only 3 or 4 days, leaving the support in position for the remainder of the curing period of the concrete slab. The Primary head remaining in contact with the concrete while the secondary head and its support wedge are released by a single hammer blow. The height of the drophead is 214mm and the striking distance allows the beams and panel to drop only 115mm for their safe removal, a marked improvement on terms of speed and safety compare with other system. The drophead has a load carrying capacity of 40Kn

The lightweight steel fabrication includes a 100mm wide top flange, which eliminates the necessity for a plywood infill, so cutting down maintenance cost. Heavy duty pressings are fitted to the beam ends ensuring adequate protection against site abuse. These incorporate a tongue location for the drophead.

The infill beams have been designed to be used with the Decking Beams to provide a support for plywood decking. The infill beams come in 4 lengths to allow for flexibility of grid sizes to suit all types of slabs. A Timber Makeups
