The kwikstage scaffolding is a heavy-duty modular scaffolding system with working principle based on modular structure design and mechanical locking mechanism. On the vertical standard, socket plates are set at certain intervals and join with wedge-shaped head of the vertical ledgers and diagonal braces to achieve rigid connection by utilizing the mechanical principle of the wedge-shaped inclined surface, forming a stable frame structure.
The basic components of the kwikstage scaffolding structure include main components such as horizontal ledgers, vertical standards, diagonal braces and adjustable base jacks, as well as auxiliary components consist of joint pin, plank, top head jack, lateral bracing and ladder.

Application Fields
● Commercial construction: Kwikstage scaffolding can provide a safe and stable platform in the processes of concrete pouring, masonry works, and facade decoration for high-rise buildings
● Bridge construction: Used for the construction of bridge piers, abutments, beams, etc., providing an elevated working platform for construction workers, making it convenient to carry out operations.
● Industrial equipment installation: Kwikstage scaffolding can build a platform, enabling workers to conveniently carry out operation in the installation and maintenance of large equipment in industrial plants.
● Municipal engineering: In the construction and maintenance of municipal projects such as urban roads, tunnels, and subway stations, kwikstage scaffolding plays an important role, involving in the construction of tunnel lining and subway station platform.
Difference Between Kwikstage, Cuplock and Ringlock Scaffoldings
Comparison dimensions | Kwikstage scaffolding | Cuplock scaffolding | Ringlock scaffolding |
Connection mode | Shank fasten by tapping | Upper and lower cuplock fixed by swivel | Fasten by tapping or self-lock of shaft |
Safety property | Good anti-loosening, but shank requires regular maintenance | Cuplock easy to loose, node damage rate comparative high | With self-lock device, ringlock has strong rigidity and high anti-collapsing resistance. |
Initial cost | Medium | Low (simple structure, less parts) | High (ringlock processing costly) |
Maintenance cost | The wedge-shaped plug needs to be replaced regularly due to wear and tear, but has relatively good overall durability. | The cuplock needs to be replaced due to rust, deformation and node damage, resulting in high maintenance costs. | Heavy galvanization， low loss rate and maintenance cost. |
