Scaffolding couplers-the right joining parts
Scaffolding is used to provide support to any structure or building being constructed or repaired at a considerable height. These structures are usually constructed by joining steel bars with linking components like joint pins and couplers. They provide a safe working area for the workers.
The scaffolding WA can be made by joining together with accessories like swivel coupler, sleeve coupler, base plate etc. Other accessories used for setting up a net of scaffolds are single Couplers, double couplers, Joint Pins, Beam Clamp, Screw jacks and Board Retaining Clamp.

The complex combinations of steel rods & Girder Coupler (and other accessories) support the thick cords used in construction work at the base, thereby allowing the personnel to carry out their tasks smoothly. In Australia, all scaffolding Perth tubes must comply with AS1576.2/EN74 norms and the fittings should adhere to AS1576.2/EN74 standards. While setting up the scaffolds, the users must evaluate its reliability, so that their service life and performance levels achieve those required by the constructers.
Couplers are basically important components of any full proof scaffolding system which is to be used in the construction industry to provide steadiness to the building being built. Australian market use hot-dipped deep galvanized steel couplers normally. Hot dipping process is used to increase the resistiveness of steel against corrosion, it also helps in increasing the life span of the fittings. The products must pass through series of stress tests so as to ensure their durability is in compliance with the AS1576.2 quality standards laid down for fittings. There is a wide range of couplers that comprise scaffolding sales in the country; the choices of this product widely used in the country are listed below:
Pressed Double Coupler are usually used to connect tubes at an angle of 90 degree to each other. It carries a single-piece body with T-bolts and flaps, this can be detached if needed for replacement as well as maintenance. it has great load bearing capacity, and is able to resist slipping and corrosion also it is one of the most integral parts of the staging system.
