Professional FAQ – Scaffolding Industry Terminology

1. What is Q355B steel, and why is it used in scaffolding?

Q355B is a low-alloy, high-strength structural steel according to Chinese GB/T1591 standard; favored for its excellent strength (≥490 MPa), weldability, and corrosion resistance. It ensures load safety and increased durability in scaffolding frameworks.

2. How does hot-dip galvanization enhance scaffolding life?

Hot-dip galvanization (average 85–120 µm zinc) forms a robust barrier against corrosion, meeting EN ISO 1461. It extends life to 12–18 years, ensuring minimal maintenance even in industrial, coastal, or chemical environments.

3. What is the difference between adjustable scaffolding and traditional tubular types?

Adjustable scaffolding allows rapid height and bay-adjustment without extra couplers, improving efficiency and safety. Traditional tubular systems require multiple clamps, slowing installation and increasing labor costs.

4. What are EN12810/EN12811 standards referenced by scaffolding companies?

EN12810 and EN12811 define performance, safety, and testing requirements for facade and temporary scaffolding—including load-bearing, stability, slip, and assembly safety.

5. What impacts the aluminium scaffolding price compared to steel?

Aluminium scaffolding price is driven by alloy grade, surface finish, and global aluminium commodity rates. Aluminium is lighter (40–55% of steel) but costs more per ton due to advanced processing.

6. How is cuplock scaffolding price calculated?

Cuplock scaffolding price includes costs of Q235/Q355 steel pipe, hot-dip galvanizing, welding/fabrication, and system design certifications; typically $1,950–2,550 per ton (2024 market average), depending on quantity and finish.

7. What post-sale support is provided for scaffolding?

Support includes 24/7 technical consultancy, on-site supervision (if required), spare parts within 72 hours (EMEA/APAC), and a minimum 3-year product warranty. Digital O&M manuals and global logistics included.
