Description
What is a scaffold tredda plate?
This durable plastic plate is typically used on pavements as a covering to prevent any damage to surfaces where a galvanised scaffold tube and steel base plate are placed. It allows the base plate to sit securely inside the plastic and is usually a yellow or orange high-visibility colour to warn passersby of the presence of scaffolding.
Does every scaffold need plastic tredda plates?
While the use of tredda plates isn’t always compulsory for every scaffold, they are strongly advised and often a standard safety practice, particularly in certain situations, as outlined below.
Tredda plates are crucial for protecting sensitive surfaces like paving slabs, decking, indoor flooring, and freshly laid asphalt from scratches and dents caused by scaffolding. They also provide a more stable base on uneven or sloping ground, reducing the risk of the scaffold shifting or tipping. In public areas, the bright colours of tredda plates enhance the visibility of the scaffold base, minimising trip hazards. Finally, when scaffolding is used indoors, tredda plates are almost always necessary to protect the flooring.
How do you install a tredda plate?
- First, prepare the area where the scaffolding is going to be erected.
- Position the tredda plate on the hard surface where the scaffold base plate will be situated.
- Add the steel base plate inside the tredda plate to make sure it is stable and does not wobble.
- Erect your scaffolding structure by placing the standard vertical tubes onto the base plate and tredda plate.
