The Kwikstage Galvanized Transoms are horizontal components that span between ledgers, providing support for scaffold boards and distributing loads to the vertical uprights. Constructed from 48.3mm OD galvanized steel (3.2mm wall thickness), these transoms feature welded end plates with precision holes for Kwikstage ledger pins, ensuring secure and vibration-resistant connections. Available in lengths from 0.6m to 2.4m, they are essential for creating stable platform surfaces in scaffolding systems.
Enhanced Load Distribution: The I-shaped end plates increase bearing area, reducing stress on ledger connections by 20% compared to plain tubes.
Full Galvanization: 85μm zinc coating throughout the tube and end plates, meeting ISO 1461 for coastal environment durability (5+ years service life).
Precision Engineering: End plates welded at 90° to tube axis with 1mm tolerance, ensuring square platform alignment without manual adjustment.
Classified Load Capacity: Supports 3kN point load at midspan (EN 12810-2 compliant), suitable for heavy material storage on platforms.
Critical for platform stability, Transoms are used in:
1. Commercial scaffolding with wide platform requirements, such as facade installations
2. Industrial scaffolding around tanks and vessels, providing secure access for inspections
3. Civil engineering projects like tunnel lining repairs, where precise transom spacing is necessary
4. Shipbuilding scaffolding, withstandingsalt-air corrosion and heavy mechanical loads.
Q: What is the difference between transoms and ledgers?
A: Transoms span between ledgers (support boards), while ledgers connect uprights (support transoms).
Q: Can transoms be used as guardrail standards?
A: No, they are not designed for vertical load-bearing. Use dedicated edge protection standards instead.
Q: How to handle transom misalignment during installation?
A: Ensure ledgers are level and uprights plumb. Minor misalignment can be corrected with adjustable couplers.
Q: What is the weight per meter of a transom?
A: Approximately 4.5kg/m, varying slightly by length due to end plate weight.
