Swift Scaffolding
Established in 2010 Swift Scaffolding have many years’ experience utilising a variety of scaffold systems, but primarily use tube and fitting, cuplock and layher.
We offer a nationwide service principally working within the pharmaceutical, industrial/civil and restoration/conservation sectors and have built up an esteemed list of clients within these industries. We are also equipped for and have experience working on small scale construction projects as well as servicing domestic clients.
Tube: A standard tube and fitting tube has an outside diameter of 48.3mm, a wall thickness of 4mm and weighs 4.37kg/m and comes hot dip galvanised and is certified to BS EN 39.
High tensile: HTS tube has an outside diameter of 48.3mm, a thickness of 3.2mm, weighs 3.56kg/m and comes hot dip galvanised certified to BS EN 10219-1, HT scaffolding tube now favoured by many contractors and is also fully supported by design engineers throughout the industry, its popularity can be attributed to several factors, its 20% lighter than a standard 4mm tube which leads to increased productivity, less operative fatigue and improved handling safety and transportation efficiencies
Aluminium tube has an outside diameter of 48.3mm, thickness of 4.47mm, weighs 1.65kg/m and conforms to BS 1139-1.2, its benefits of alloy tubing are ease of handling, reduced fatigue and due to its high resistance to saline it is product of choice for coastal works.
Scaffold fitting base plate: Base plates are used to ensure secure and safe grounding compliant to EN74
Scaffold fitting single coupler: Manufactured either in pressed steel, compliant to EN74 or dropped forge compliant to EN74-1. These are used to connect scaffold tubes at right angles and have no load bearing capacity they are commonly used as transoms on the boarded platforms and scaffold toe board clips, compliant to BS1139.
Scaffold fitting double coupler: Available in either pressed steel, compliant to EN74 or dropped forge compliant to EN74-1, both would be commonly used to connect a standard to a ledger at a 90-degree angle and have a high resistance to slip and sheer loadings.
Scaffold fitting swivel coupler: Available either in pressed steel, compliant to EN74 or dropped forge compliant to EN74-1, used to connect scaffold tubes at any angle and would be most frequently used when bracing is required throughout the scaffold.
Scaffold fitting sleeve coupler: Available in either in pressed steel, compliant to EN74 or dropped forge compliant to EN74-1, used to connect to tubes together horizontally vertically or diagonally.
Scaffold fitting drop forged half fitting is multi-functional but primarily used for bolting to existing or prefabricated items to facilitate a connection point for a scaffold tube. compliant to EN74 class a
Scaffold fitting gravlock girder coupler are used in pairs to facilitate the anchoring of scaffold tubes to steel I beams, compliant to EN 74
Scaffold fitting swivel gravlock girder coupler this allows tube to be used through a 360-degree angle whilst anchoring to steel I beams compliant to EN 74.
Scaffold fitting band and plate coupler, primarily used to connect tubes at a 90-degree angle compliant to EN74 class a. Primarily for use on transoms.
Scaffold fitting board retaining clamp: Used to retain a 38mm timber board to prevent uplift or slip form wind factors. Also available for composite boards. Compliant to EN 74.
Scaffold fitting jordan clamp provide a safe and effective above head anchor point for an operative, it attaches direct to a scaffold tube with no additional attachments required to provide fall protection for 1 operative. Compliant to BS EN 795
Timer scaffold boards are the most commonly used board in the market, they are compliant to BS2482 and are available in varying lengths, timber boards are either visually or machine graded and in addition to being compliant to the industry standard they are also compliant to TG20:21, timber boards are fitted with steel end bands
Composite scaffold boards: They are fully compatible with tube and fitting and system scaffolds, compliant to BS EN12811 and TG20:21 and are frequently used in ATEX rated areas or clean room environments.
Steel scaffold boards offer greater durability and due to their fire-retardant properties are often the board of choice in sectors such as pharmaceutical and petro-chemical, compliant to BS EN12811
Scaffold board sole pads are used at the base of a scaffold to spread the load of the scaffold tube standards in conjunction with a steel base plate, typically these a just shorter cut length of a compliant timber board but are also available in plastic.
Ladder hatches are used at any point in a scaffold where a ladder access through a boarded lift is required, this closes the void to help prevent accidents, it fits easily over the toe board and is secured by two bolts
Ladder access gates are used to access the scaffold structure via a ladder from the outside and safely secures the opening, they are compatible with both tube and fitting and system
Up and over loading bay gates operate within a 2m lift and come with triple guard rail restraint for 100% fall protection when the gate is in either the open or closed position, conform to EN133774, they are very simplistic to use and are available for both tube and fitting and system.
Ladder: All ladders are industrial class EN 131. Ranging from 2m to 9m. Certain access criteria allow for a 9m single run, a confined space entry with low usage as per current Code of Practise.
Ladder guards are designed to deter unauthorised use of ladders, they attach easily & secure quickly making them a safe and convenient safety feature.
Aluminium Ladder Beams: Manufactured to BS EN 1999-1-1. Typically used where truss beams are oversized for the project constraints.
Aluminium 450mm Beams: A diverse product with a wide functionality range including suspended/mobile platforms, bird cages, protection decks and temporary roofs. Conforms to BS EN 1991-1.
Aluminium 750mm X Beams: Recognised as having a supreme weight to strength ratio the 750 X beam can be utilised to cover greater span distances. Compliant to BS EN 1999-1-1.
