Cuplock Scaffolding

Introduction

CUPLOK is one of the most widely used system scaffolds globally. This fully galvanized, multi-purpose steel scaffold system is designed for both general access and vertical load support. It meets the standards of BS EN 12811 and 12810.

A key advantage of CUPLOK is its unique circular node point, which enables up to four horizontal members to be securely connected to a vertical with a single fastening action—making it one of the fastest and safest scaffolding systems available.

With a comprehensive range of components, CUPLOK is compatible with traditional scaffold boards or battens and can be configured for various applications, including access and support structures, staircase towers, circular scaffolds, loading towers, and mobile towers.

Its hot-dipped galvanized finish provides superior corrosion resistance, ensuring a longer lifespan and improved handling.

The CUPLOK Locking Procedure

At the core of the CUPLOK system is its innovative node-point locking mechanism, allowing up to four horizontal members to be quickly and securely connected to the vertical standard. A single hammer blow locks them into place, eliminating the need for loose clips, bolts, or wedges.

The locking system consists of fixed lower cups welded to the standards at 0.5m intervals and sliding upper cups that drop over the blade ends of the horizontals. These upper cups rotate to create a strong, rigid connection. This advanced design enables fast and efficient assembly and dismantling, significantly reducing labor costs.

Once a CUPLOK structure is “based out” and leveled, subsequent lifts automatically align square and horizontal, ensuring precision. The absence of loose components makes the system user-friendly and highly durable. Additionally, its galvanized finish provides superior resistance to corrosion and damage, enhancing its longevity and reliability.
