3-bd Stage Brackets

The galvanised and painted stage brackets use the same batten supporting element sections as their respective transoms. They are generally used on the inside of an access scaffold to widen a platform by 1, 2 or 3 battens, fill recesses within the serviced structures building line, or to allow the inside standards to clear eaves, overhangs or other obstructions.

The ends of 2-bd and 3-bd stage brackets must always be connected by tie bars to prevent opening-out of one relative to another and consequently allowing battens to fall from their supporting flanges.

The tie bars fit into slotted holes in the ends of the 2-bd and 3-bd stage brackets. The inside platforms on stage brackets must be used for man access only, with the weight of no more than 2 men (90kg each, allowance for man and handtools) to one stage bracket. If materials are to be stored on a platform, they must be placed on the main platform supported by the transoms, never on the inside battens.

Standards

Painted
Standards manufactured from 48.3 O.D. 10g steel tube to BS4360 : 1979 grade 50c.

9ft 9" standard (72103200)
Wt Painted 15.2kg

6ft 6" standard (72103202)
Wt Painted 10.0kg

Toe Board Brackets

Weight 0.8kg Painted (72103236)
Toe board brackets fit round a standard to retain the ends of butting toe-board battens and steel stagings in position.

End Toe Board Brackets

Weight 1.4kg Painted (72103238)
Pairs of end toe-board brackets are used with 4ft 2" battens or steel stagings to provide toe-boards to the ends of 5-bd wide platforms.

Adjustable Base Plate

Sheradised Wt 3kg (72103108)
S.W.L. 30kN
Hollow rolled thread stem with threads distorted 150mm from top to ensure at least 150mm length remains inside the supported standard. Cast jack handle for easy adjustment.

Battens

8ft Batten

Wt 18.1kg (72103228)

6ft Batten

Wt 13.6kg (72108000)

4ft 2" Batten

Wt 9.1kg (72108002)

The battens are made from selected soft wood with end bandings. Moment of resistance of section = 1.3kNm.

The steel stagings have the same overall dimensions of the battens. Their weights are:-

• 8ft steel staging : 17.3kg
• 6ft steel staging : 13.2kg
• 4ft 2inch steel staging : 9.1kg

The battens and steel stagings have ample strength, when spanning their full lengths between supporting transoms to carry 3 kN/m² platform loading (masonry or special duty loading).

4ft 2" Transoms

Wt 9.9kg Painted (72103206)
Twin rolled steel angles back to back span between standards 1270 (4ft 2") apart and carry 5 N^o 228 wide timber battens or steel stagings plus toe board.

Maximum permissable imposed load in 8ft bays = 2 kN/m² of platform area (general purspose loading).

2ft 8" Transoms

Wt 7.7kg Painted (72103218)
Reduced length versions of the 4ft 2" transoms to span between standards 813 apart and carry 3 N^o 228 wide timber battens or steel stagings plus toe boards.

Maximum permissable imposed load in 8ft bays = 3 kN/m² of platform area (masonry or special duty loading).

4ft 2" Return Transoms

Wt 12.5kg Painted (72103220)
Placed over ledgers in one bay of Climastage and fixed to two standards to start a 90° return with another run. Complete with seating for 5 N^o 228 wide timber battens or steel stagings giving the same decking level for both scaffold runs.

Maximum permissable imposed load in 8ft bays = 3 kN/m² of platform area (masonry or special duty loading).

4ft 2" Ladders Access Transoms

Wt 9.5kg Painted (72103219)
The ladder access transom employs the same pressed steel inverted channel section as the galvanised 4ft 2" transom. The central upstand however is only long enough to retain 2 battens with the remaining 3-batten width clear to allow battens to span a full scaffold bay (a downstand plate is provided below the 3-batten area to maintain adequate strength of the transom).

The ladded access transom is used in conjunction with tie bars at both sides to a 4ft 2" transom with slotted tie bar connection holes, to provide ladder access openings surrounded by either 5 or 3 battens in a scaffold bay. Thus, for example, in an 8ft bay with one ladder access transom, two 4ft 2" tie bars, two 4ft 2" and three 8ft battens a full deck of battens is provided apart from the 2-batten wide by 3ft 6" approx long ladder access opening.

Tie Bars

8ft Tie Bars

Wt 6.8kg Painted (72103211)

6ft Tie Bars

Wt 5.0kg Painted (72103222)

4ft Tie Bars

Wt 5.0kg Painted (72103213)

The tie bars are fabricated from 38 x 38 x 4.7 thick angles with ping ends to fit into the slotted holes in the stage brackets and intermediate stage brackets.

The tie bars are fixed with their vertical flanges on the remote side from the platform with the batten resting on the horizontal flange of the angle. The tie bars therefore fulfill the dual functions of preventing the inside battens from moving sideways and preventing differential movement of adjacent stage brackets.
