Description
What is a scaffold board retaining clamp?
Board retaining clips firmly secure scaffold boards to the tube on a scaffolding structure. They prevent the movement of the boards on the working platform.
What thickness of board is a scaffold board retaining clamp used for?
Board retaining clamps are typically designed to secure 38mm thick scaffolding boards.
How much does a board retaining clamp weigh?
Scaffold board retaining clamps are lightweight and weigh around 0.61 kilograms each.
What are scaffold board retaining clips made from?
This product is made from galvanised pressed steel.
What are the British standards for a board retaining clamp?
These clamps comply with BS 1139 standards, ensuring your scaffold platforms’ safety and stability.
What size tube does a scaffold board retaining clip hold?
Board retaining clamps are typically designed for use with 48.3mm diameter scaffold tubes, a standard size that ensures compatibility with most scaffolding systems.
How are scaffold board retaining clamps fixed?
Installation is straightforward. The clamp sits on top of the boards; you then attach the clamp to a 48.3mm scaffold tube. The clamp’s unique design automatically grips the boards securely when tightened, effectively preventing movement.
What do you use to tighten the scaffold board retaining clips?
Traditionally, a spanner with a swivel hex box head tightens retaining clips to the tubes. This fitting is secured by placing the spanner over the coupler nut and turning it. However, modern scaffolders often utilise impact drills for faster tightening.
Will the board get damaged when using a board retaining clamp?
No, these fittings clip onto the board and hold it in place without leaving any marks or damage.
Does a scaffold board retaining clamp have any other uses?
No, this clamp is designed solely to secure scaffolding boards to scaffold poles to keep the boards from moving.
Are scaffolding board retaining clamps a load-bearing fitting?
While essential for safety, board retaining clamps are not load-bearing components. They stabilise the working platform by securing the boards; however, the tubes, braces, ledgers, and standards act as the load-bearing elements that support the weight of the structure and workers.
