Description

Vertical diagonal braces add rigidity and stability to scaffolding in the vertical plane, and they are essential for constructing cantilever overhangs (balconies) and bridge structures. The diagonal brace features specially shaped hinged die-cast blocks (wedge heads) with integrated wedges at each end. The wedge head is used to connect the diagonal brace and standard rosette. 

Advantages:

• Metric interchangeable dimensions along the axes of the standards multiple of 0.25 m. 

• Standard issue diagonal braces (for height of 2m) offer color navigation. Each size has a unique color marking, which greatly simplifies element identification and speeds up installation. The color sequence corresponds to the arrangement of colors in the rainbow spectrum: the longest arc of the rainbow, which is red, corresponds to the longest ledger – 3 meters; the next ledger, 2.5 meters long, is marked in orange, and so on.

• The wedge head has a symmetrical shape to ensure equivalent joint strength amid oppositely directed loads. 

• The pipe diameter of the main scaffolding elements (standards, ledgers, diagonal braces, lattice girders, cantilever brackets, etc.) is 48 mm. This makes it possible to put them together in arbitrary points by means of standard couplers without additional dedicated elements.

• Compatibility with European equivalents.

• Spark- and fire-proof design.

• Corrosion protection is provided by hot-dip galvanization.

• 20-year lifespan.
