The horizontal members of the cuplock system. Drop-forged blade ends lock into the cups on the standards with one hammer blow. Made in our Umm Al Quwain factory in eight sizes from 0.6 m to 2.5 m, to buy or on monthly hire.
Ledgers tie the standards together and set the bay size of the scaffold. Each end carries a forged steel blade. The blades drop into the bottom cups of two neighbouring cuplock standards, the top cups are turned down over them, and one hammer blow locks the joint. No nuts, bolts or wedges.
A ledger is sized by the centre-to-centre distance between the standards it connects, not by the overall length of the tube. Each node accepts up to four blade ends, so four horizontal members can meet at one standard at the same level.
Ledgers run parallel to the working face. Transoms run across it and carry the boards. Our intermediate transoms have pressed U-body ends that seat over the ledgers, and are stocked in 1.0 m, 1.2 m, 1.6 m and 1.8 m.
The blade that takes the load is forged, then welded to the tube at both ends.
Manufactured at our Umm Al Quwain factory from EN10219 steel tube.
0.6, 0.9, 1.0, 1.2, 1.3, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.5 m, covering shoring grids and access bays.
One cup locks up to four blades, so ledgers and transoms meet at the same level.

Sizes are centre to centre between standards. Weights include the forged blade ends, and actual product weights fall within 3% of these values. Source: our cuplock system specification sheet.
The ledger sets the grid, so the size follows from the load on a shoring job and from the bay and platform on an access job.
The ledger length is the grid spacing. Heavier slabs need a tighter grid, so more legs share the load.
A 2.5 m ledger runs along each bay, and a shorter ledger across the scaffold sets the platform width.
When a run is not a whole number of 2.5 m bays, the last bay takes the smallest stocked ledger that covers what is left.
Eight sizes: 0.6 m, 0.9 m, 1.0 m, 1.2 m, 1.3 m, 1.6 m, 1.8 m and 2.5 m, measured centre to centre between standards.
About 8.6 kg. A 1.8 m ledger weighs about 6.2 kg and a 1.2 m ledger about 4.2 kg. The table on this page lists every size.
A ledger connects two standards at the node and runs parallel to the working face. A transom runs across the scaffold and carries the boards. Our intermediate transoms have pressed U-body ends that seat over the ledgers.
The blade at each end drops into the bottom cup on the standard. The top cup is turned down over the blades and locked with one hammer blow. One node holds up to four blades.
