The Components of Scaffolding

Scaffolding, also called scaffold or staging, is a temporary structure used to support a work crew and materials to aid in the construction, maintenance and repair of buildings, bridges and all other man made structures. Scaffolding is also used in adapted forms for formwork and shoring, grandstand seating, concert stages, access/viewing towers, exhibition stands, ski ramps, half pipes and art projects.

There are four main types of scaffolding used worldwide today. These are Tube and Coupler (fitting) components, prefabricated modular system scaffold components, H-frame / facade modular system scaffolds, and timber scaffolds. Each type is made from several components which often include:
·A base jack or plate which is a load bearing base for the scaffold.
·The standard which is the upright component with connector joins.
·The ledger (horizontal brace).
·The transom which is a horizontal cross section load bearing component which holds the batten,board or decking unit.
·Brace diagonal and/or cross section bracing component.
·Batten or board decking component used to make the working platform.
·Coupler a fitting used to join components together.
·Scaffold tie used to tie in the scaffold to structures.
·Brackets used to extend the width of working platforms.

According to the latest statistics from the world steel association, the world's crude steel production increased 10 percent in March. Crude steel production in 67 major steel  producing countries has reached 145m tonnes, a tenth consecutive month of year-on-year growth. Crude steel production has been rising, driving up the price of iron ore. This  gives a false impression that the international steel market appears to have fully emerged from the depths of the international financial crisis and appears to be "producing and  selling is prosperity both". As welded steel pipe,  scaffolding plank , carbon steel pipe, galvanized pipe, stainless steel pipe and other products production services vendors, Shinestar Holding Group believes that  the current global steel market supply and demand does not change radically, didn't reverse oversupply situation. Firstly, the global economy remains weak and growing less optimistic. Authorities, according to the assessment of the cur

As we all know, often drop large iron and steel industry, the price is extremely unstable, so what is the cause of this phenomenon? Shinestar Steel Research Institute found through research, technology and the characteristics of the iron and steel industry, the cost structure resulted in the imbalance between supply and demand environment quantity adjustment special difficulties. Specifically, the characteristics of modern steel production technology determines that the industry has a strong scale effect.This means that the iron and steel enterprises need to spend a huge amount of money to buy equipment and equipment to build production systems, resulting in a higher proportion of fixed capital amortization of depreciation in the total cost.Shinestar Steel Group attaches great importance to R & D investment, its R & D production of carbon steel pipe, welded steel pipe, line pipe, galvanized pipe and other excellent products, the market was highly recognized. Under normal m
