Scaffolding and Formwork Accessories: System Components Guide

Scaffolding and formwork accessories connect, adjust, brace and complete the main system components. The correct accessory depends on the exact scaffolding or formwork system rather than on the product name alone.

Adjustment components

Examples include lower adjustment spindles, U-head spindles and 4-way heads. Diameter, nut and head geometry must match the system.

Frame stabilization

Cross/tension bars and frame couplers connect table-shoring frames and help maintain the intended geometry.

Formwork bracing and H20 connections

Braces, wedges, pins, U-clips and H20 hooks each serve specific connection functions. Use compatible system components and follow manufacturer instructions.

Inspection

Check used accessories for deformation, cracks, damaged welds, thread wear, enlarged pin holes and severe corrosion.
