Scaffolding and Formwork Accessories: System Groups

Scaffolding and formwork accessories complete the main structural or formwork components. Their jobs include height adjustment, head support, frame stabilization, formwork alignment and panel connection.

Scaffolding Accessory Groups

Scaffolding accessories commonly include lower screw jacks, U-heads, 4-way heads and cross-bracing components.

For table-shoring-specific components, see Table Shoring Accessories.

Formwork Accessory Groups

Wall and column formwork uses a different group of accessories such as braces, brace heads and bases, wedges, pins, cotters and H20 connection components.

See Formwork Braces, Wedges, Pins and H20 Connections.

Where Does the Tie-Rod System Fit?

Tie rods, nuts, bearing plates and related passage components form a separate connection group for opposing formwork faces.

See What Is a Formwork Tie Rod?.

Selection Principle

Accessory selection depends on the exact scaffolding or formwork system, connection geometry and compatible dimensions rather than on the product name alone.
