Kwikstage
Kwikstage scaffolding is the most common type of scaffolding in use here in Ireland. Kwikstage scaffolding is made up of prefabricated elements and designed and manufactured in accordance with IS/HD 1000 or an equivalent standard. Each type of system scaffold consists of a range of components such as standards, ledgers, transoms and base plates and has its own specific erection requirements.
Tube & Fitting
Tube & fitting scaffolding is constructed from steel tubing and several types of couplers. Properly constructed, it forms a robust structure since the ledgers and standards are usually continuous across several bays or lifts. Tube and fitting is required for more complex jobs and weight loads.
Cuplock
Is very similar to kwikstage scaffolding and the only difference is the preference of the user (e.g. scaffolder or scaffolding company).
