Scaff Deck ®

Modular Suspended Access System

Carbon Steel

The next generation of modular suspended access systems, ScaffDeck is designed for maximum safety, efficiency and adaptability in elevated works. Constructed from high strength low alloy S700 steel, it offers reduced weight with exceptional load bearing capacity. The innovative reversible truss enables the alternative use of either, high-grade anti-slip birch plywood panels or galvanized anti-slip steel decking boards with an integrated auto-wind-lock, as per project requirements. ScaffDeck enables rapid assembly and improved safety through superior components, versatile anchoring options, and cross-compatibility with multiple scaffold systems.

Features & Benefits

  • Safer: The fully enclosed platform, featuring integrated guardrails, toe boards and cover plates eliminating deck gaps to ensure a secure, compliant workspace during elevated operations
  • High Loading Capacity: Ranges from (class 1) 0.75 kN/m2 to (class 4) 3.0 kN/m2 with various chain spacing grids, suitable for both light-duty and heavy-duty applications
  • Improved Versatility: The simplified modular design allows seamless integration into complex geometries across diverse industrial applications
  • Adaptable: Liftable & Lowerable Platform up to 100m2 in single lift
  • Cost Effective: Fewer components and rapid assembly reduce labour hours, equipment uses, and overall project costs

Main Components

ScaffDeck Trusses

The Trusses are reversible and manufactured from high-grade S700 steel, allowing for reduced weight without compromising strength. They are designed to accommodate hook-end steel boards or composite platform decking.

  • Truss sizes from 0.6 to 2.50 m

Nodes & Chain Retainer

The Node provides secure connection points for suspension chains, reliable Truss attachments, and versatile connectivity at 90-degree and irregular angles. It features a built-in handle for easy maneuverability and delivers unparalleled strength.

Suspension Chain

Used to take the complete load of the assembled platform, including live load &self load. The chains offer 40kN load bearing capacity with 4:1 FOS. Its high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance

Platform Decking

The 21mm high-strength birch plywood with a composite slip proof surface provides a solid and secure platform to support workers and equipment during construction activities.

Galvanized Steel Boards

Steel Boards are fully galvanized and available in lengths up to 2.5m. Used as a decking platform for offshore, onshore and hot works environments. Designed with a perforated, non-slip and fire-retardant surface to overcome adverse conditions.

Intermediate Deck Support

The Intermediate Deck Support serves as a holder for the Platform Decking, securely locking it in place.

  • Deck Supports from 0.6 - 2.5m

Beam Suspension Clamp

The Beam Suspension Clamp is securely attached to a beam or under-deck structure to suspend the platform. The Beam Suspension Clamp is designed to connect the chains to existing beams or under-deck structures to suspend the platform.

Description (m) Weight (kg)
Beam Suspension Clamp 5.8
Beam Hanging Pipe-600 7.9
Chain Lock 2.3

Deck Retaining Plates & Cover Plates

The Deck Retaining Plat & Cover Plates, used with Deck Retaining Screws, secure the Platform Decking to ensure a safe and stable working platform, cover gaps & prevent openings to prevent materials from slipping through. All components are manufactured from high grade Galvanized Steel to prevent corrosion.

Guardrail Unit

The Handrail is a modular component incorporating the mid Guardrail & top guardrail in one unit. This allows for easy transportation, carrying & assembly.

Toe Boards

Steel Toe Boards are installed at the base of the platform to prevent materials and tools from sliding or falling off, thereby minimizing the risk of injury to personnel below the deck.

  • Toe Boards from 0.625 - 2.5m

Truss Connecting Pin & Locking Pin

Truss Connecting Pins facilitate the secure connection, precise alignment, and locking of Nodes and Trusses prior to swinging, enabling the formation of extended platforms or cantilevers. They effectively prevent unintended movement or disengagement during operation, ensuring structural integrity and safety.

Description (m) Weight (kg)
BEAM LOCKING PIN 0.8
JUNCTION LOCKING PIN Ø18.0 1.08

  • S700 refers to its minimum yield strength of 700 MPa & Hot dip galvanized.
  • It is part of the high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) steel family.

  • Nodes: The Node provides secure connection points for suspension chains, reliable truss attachments, and versatile connectivity at 90-degree and irregular angles. It features a built-in handle for easy maneuverability and delivers unparalleled strength.
  • Trusses: The trusses are reversible and manufactured from high-grade S700 steel, allowing for reduced weight without compromising strength. They are designed to accommodate hook-end steel boards or composite platform decking.
  • Intermediate Deck Supports: Serves as a holder for the Platform Decking, securely locking it in place. Transfer the load from the decking to the Trusses.
  • Plywood Decking Panels: The Platform Decking provides a solid, flat, and secure surface to support workers and scaffolding. Made from high-strength birch plywood with anti-slip properties, it ensures safety, durability, and stability during operations.
  • Suspension Chains: Suspends the platform securely and provides a reliable means of support from the load below. Connects to the Anchor point above and to the Node below.
  • Beam Suspension Clamps: This provides the clamping from which the chain hangs onto the existing structure.
  • Guardrail Post Brackets: Connects to the Node to receive the Guardrail Post.
  • Guardrail Posts: Serves as the main support barrier of the Guardrails. Connects to the Guardrail Post Bracket and receives the Guardrail unit.
  • Guardrail Units: Connects to two Guardrail Post and acts as a physical barrier along the edges of the platform preventing workers falling from height.
  • Cover Plates: Cover plates, used with Deck Retaining Screws, securely fastens the Platform Decking to create a stable working platform, cover gaps or openings to prevent materials from slipping through, all made from non-corrosive steel with a non-slip surface finish.
  • Toe boards: Provide a protective barrier designed to prevent materials, tools, and debris from falling off the edges of the platform which can pose serious risks to workers below.
