What Is Façade Scaffolding Plettac SL？

Introduction

Facade scaffolding is a temporary structure that provides a safe working area at a height on a building or industrial facility. It plays a crucial role in construction and maintenance projects, providing the necessary support and access to building exteriors. Among the popular systems is the Plettac SL, known for its efficiency and adaptability.

What is Façade Scaffolding Plettac SL?

The Plettac SL facade scaffolding system is designed for speed and ease of use, making it a preferred choice for many construction projects. The "SL" stands for "Speedy Layer," highlighting its quick assembly and disassembly capabilities.

Plettac scaffolding frames are always made from hot dipped galvanized steel, providing the best loading capacity and long-life span.

Components of Façade Scaffolding Plettac SL

The Plettac SL system are widely available in SL70 and SL100. It is composed of several key components:

• Frames: The vertical structures that form the backbone of the system. Typically available in heights of 2.0 meters, widths of 74cm or 106cm. The height 1m frames are usually used as end frames. The main tubes are 48.3mm out diameter.

• Decks/Platforms: Provide a stable surface for workers and materials. They come in steel, wood or aluminum materials. Width: 32cm. Lengths include: 74cm, 110cm, 150cm, 200cm, 250cm, 300cm, etc.

• Guard Rails: Ensure safety by preventing falls. Lengths include: 74cm, 110cm, 150cm, 200cm, 250cm, 300cm, etc.

• Toe Boards: Prevent tools and materials from falling off the platform. Usually made from wood or galvanized steel.

• Vertical Braces: Add stability and prevent sway. Sizes include: for bays 150x200 cm, 200x200cm, 250x100cm, 250x150cm, 250x200cm, etc.

• Base Jacks: Adjustable for leveling on uneven surfaces.

• Coupling Pins: Used to connect frames vertically.

• Star Pins: Provide secure locking of components.

• Self-Locking Swivel Pins: Enhance safety and ease of assembly.

Advantages of Facade Scaffolding system Plettac SL

Plettac scaffolding offers a range of benefits, making it a popular choice in the construction industry:

• Quick and Safe Erection: With a minimal number of main components, the system allows for fast and safe assembly.

• Tool-Free Assembly: Components are designed to be simply stuck together without the need for tools, enhancing ease of use.

• Integrated Decking Attachment: The design of the Plettac scaffolding decking units minimizes protruding parts, reducing the risk of damage. This feature simplifies transportation and storage by requiring less space.

• Functional Versatility: The system supports various decking materials—timber, aluminum, steel—and offers multiple bay lengths for different configurations while minimizing scaffolded areas.

• Safe Load Transfer: Permanent and working loads are transmitted directly into vertical frames by the decking header piece, enhancing safety.

• Highly Accurate: Diagonal attachments near the intersection of verticals and decking axes reduce eccentricities and applied moments, increasing the system's load capacity reserve.

• Self-Locking Swivel Pins: These pins secure the structure automatically, providing additional safety and reducing assembly time.

• Versatile and Economical: Supplementary components ensure the system can be adapted for various purposes, offering a productive and cost-effective solution.

• Durability: All items are hot-dip galvanized, ensuring a long service life and protection against corrosion.

Other Questions about Plettac frames

• What is the Use of Star Pins on Plettac Frames?

Start pins on Plettac scaffolding frames are star shaped locking pins. They are welded to vertical frame head transoms and are used to guarantees a quick and secure fixing of the decks. The positive connection prevents slipping and sliding, providing horizontal stiffening, which allows for staggered anchorage arrangements.

   | Check the star pins produced by Tuopeng Scaffold. They are used by leading scaffolding manufactures in Poland for robot welding of frames.

• What is the Use of self locking swivel pins on Plettac frames?

Self locking swivel pins are round rod with a swivel pin assembled. They are welded to Plettac vertical frames to s lock the guard rails and vertical braces. The specially designed pins open automatically for sliding the handrails on - allowing a handrail to be attached to both pins at once.
