Scaffold Girder Clamps

Girder Clamps for Scaffolding

Girder clamps are a reliable solution for connecting scaffolding tubes to structural beams at a precise 90-degree angle. These robust clamps, designed to fit 48.3mm scaffold tubes, are ideal for creating secure and stable scaffolding platforms for construction projects.

Scaffold girder clamps are manufactured from high-grade steel, ensuring exceptional strength and durability. The forging process used in their production creates a robust and reliable fitting. A common feature is a zinc plating, which provides an additional layer of protection against corrosion and extends the lifespan of the clamp in harsh weather conditions.

Girder clamps firmly grip both the scaffolding tube and the flange of the I-section beam, ensuring a solid and right-angled connection. This eliminates the risk of tubes slipping or twisting, promoting safety for workers on the platform. For optimal safety, girder clamps must always be used in pairs. This creates a strong and balanced connection between the tube and the beam, crucial for supporting heavy loads and maintaining stability.

Manufactured to comply with BSI Standard AS1576.2, girder clamps guarantee they meet strict safety regulations and provide peace of mind on the job site.

Advantages of Scaffold Girder Clamps

The key advantages of using scaffold girder clamps include:

• Secure Connection: The wedge mechanism provides a powerful grip on the scaffold tube, ensuring a strong and stable connection to the girder. This prevents accidental dislodgement of tubes, which could lead to catastrophic scaffolding collapses.
• Versatility: Girder clamps can be used with various types of scaffold tubes, including steel and aluminium, as long as the tube diameter matches the clamp's specifications. This adaptability allows for the construction of diverse scaffolding configurations.
• Ease of Use: The simple design of girder clamps enables quick and easy installation. The wedge mechanism can be tightened or loosened efficiently using a wrench or similar tool.
• Durability: Girder clamps are typically manufactured from high-quality steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. This ensures they can withstand harsh weather conditions and repeated use on multiple projects.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Scaffold girder clamps are a relatively inexpensive component of a scaffolding system, offering excellent value for money.

Scaffold girder clamps are a fundamental building block for safe and efficient scaffolding. Their robust design, secure connection, and ease of use make them an indispensable tool for construction professionals. By understanding their functionality, adhering to safety practices, and following regulations, girder clamps can ensure the stability and integrity of scaffolding structures, keeping workers safe and projects on track.
