Scaffolding of the Kwikstage system: a general description
The scaffolding system in Australia is one of the main requirements of any building builder when performing any type of construction or repair work. One of the most popular systems for creating a parking structure is the Kwikstage or Quickwedge system, which is a modular system of scaffolds in which the wedges meet all the requirements to secure all access scaffolds, thus eliminating all loose ends. Wedge fixing of accounting books and crosspieces offers a simple and efficient way to provide access to scaffolding in the Kwikstage system . It has an inflexible and well-defined four-way fixation that causes the location to be fixed without any unwanted movement in the system. This structure provides a guaranteed vertical alignment through a highly effective spike and wedge connection.
Some of the components of the Pew Kwikstage scaffold are the following:
- Quickwedge / Vertical Standards
It is manufactured with standard scaffolding tubes of high quality and finds its application in the creation of supports or uprights used in the structure. This product forms a location for the ledgers and crosspieces and consists of a series of welded components with V-pressure. It can be used together with an integral wedge shank or as an open ended variant.
- Quickwedge Ledger / Horizontal
The scaffolding tubes with wedge fixing devices are used to make this component, which is placed in the uprights or standards longitudinally. They can be used both inside and outside the scaffolding in WA - at the platform level inside and as an exterior railing.
- Fast sword
Used to form a frame, as well as to set the internal and external standards transversely while used in conjunction with V-pressed verticals, these crosspieces are T-sections that have wedge fixation components at the ends.
- Quickwedge return shank
It is a product that is made of pressed steel components for the purpose of being placed next to an accounting book to form a 90 ° angle of return on the scaffolding, and has specialized spaces on one side for wood or wood slats.
- Access ladder to crossbar
It is a simple part that is used to create an easy way to access the platform via stairs. This component joins the coupler to a ledger, while the 'C' is placed in the opposite ledger and the slat boards are secured along the crossbar.
- Scaffolding support
It is used to form a façade reinforcement by securing its rotating captive wedge accessories, which are welded at each end to the vertical / standard V-press.
- Stage support 1/2/3 board
- Clamping bar
It is a long and angled iron rod that is equipped with a plug at both ends to join the brackets together.
- Toe board support
It attaches to the verticals located at the end of the classification system to hold the board of the tip of the wood or the end of the steel floor.
- End toe board support
The components of this scaffolding system in Perth are painted to determine the corrosion resistance and the quality is checked for low or no maintenance costs.
