Disc-lock scaffolding is known as an upgraded version of traditional scaffolding, offering many advantages over conventional methods. Many contractors purchase scaffolding for their projects, generally focusing on price, quality, and delivery time. However, some customers are also concerned about its erection efficiency. So, how efficient is disc-lock scaffolding?
As everyone knows, steel pipe coupler scaffolding is a traditional type, relatively cumbersome and time-consuming to erect. It’s understood that the single-worker erection speed for ordinary steel pipe coupler scaffolding is only 35 m³/day, while the single-worker erection speed for disc-lock scaffolding can reach 150 m³/day.
In other words, erecting 150 m³ using steel pipe coupler scaffolding takes more than 4 days, while erecting 150 m³ using disc-lock scaffolding can be done in just one day. Clearly, steel pipe coupler scaffolding is more time-consuming, and its labor costs are significantly higher than disc-lock scaffolding.
Disc-lock scaffolding is an advanced modular scaffolding system characterized by high safety, labor savings, convenient assembly and disassembly, material conservation, and aesthetic appeal. It is an ideal upgrade from coupler-type and cup-lock scaffolding.
This disc-lock scaffolding system breaks away from the traditional bolt-fastening method of scaffolding. It utilizes pre-welded joint devices at both ends of horizontal members and diagonal members, as well as eight-hole discs welded to the uprights. Employing the principle of gravity-driven wedge-shaped self-locking pins, it completely replaces steel pipes and couplers, connecting horizontal members, uprights, and diagonal members to form a stable planar triangular structure. This planar structure is then combined three-dimensionally to ultimately create a stable spatial structure.
Disc-lock scaffolding is safe to erect. The uprights are forged from Q345 grade steel, which has higher strength than the original Q235 grade steel, allowing for a greater load-bearing capacity of up to 20 tons per upright. The unique disc-lock design allows for stable multi-directional connections between the various members, meeting diverse connection requirements for scaffolding erection. Furthermore, the steel planks used with the scaffolding offer unparalleled safety performance compared to traditional bamboo or wooden planks.
