AMA Cuplock System provides sturdy, timesaving, versatile, and easily assembled scaffolding with universal usage. Thanks to the unique connection between two main components created by cups and blades, the system is truly multidirectional. From simple flexible access scaffolding to the comprehensive load bearing shoring structures AMA Cuplock can be employed in various ways. Combined with auxiliary components, the system can easily be transformed into a staircase tower, cantilevers or suspended platforms.

CORE FEATURES

  • Special connection nodes make the system versatile. Particularly in circular scaffolding, this system can’t be matched.
  • Securing the connection of all components by a single action makes this system outstandingly fast to erect & dismantle.
  • No wedges, bolts, or nuts are used to fasten which are typically critical units prone to loss or damage.
  • The contact area of the cuplock joint, especially its length makes the system extremely solid while individual components are light weight.

Although often used as a support system, the Kwick-stage also serves as access scaffolding. A high load capacity, easy erection, along with sophisticated connection designate this system to be ideal for shoring of horizontal formwork support concrete or prefabricated construction. With the introduction of the Kwick-Stage Support & Decking system, a level and uniform support grid of decking beams and infills enables speedy and economical construction progress. The system has most components built into the standards, ledgers, dropheads, and beams thereby ensuring fewer loose components.

CORE FEATURES

  • The “V” pressed nod predefines direction for horizontal and diagonal use, thus making it easy to erect on required structure even for semiskilled scaffolders.
  • With the ability to fasten individual components on incorporated wedges, the structure is very rigid while erecting and dismantling
  • Bracing by diagonals which are part of the system makes it easy to achieve dependable vertical alignment and minimize eccentricity in connections thus a high load capacity is reached.

This system is based on quick assembling with a minimal number of items required. Only frames and braces are needed to build a fully usable access scaffolding suitable for a broad variety of work, especially in relation to facades. Whether completed by wooden boards or a steel platform, access frame scaffolding is an economically efficient system which saves on both time and cost.

CORE FEATURES

  • The mechanical design of this system results in low weight frames benefited from the stiffening of posts.
  • Frames have standardized sizes and when combined they provide more functions. With no additional tools required, the system is outstandingly swift to erect and dismantle.
  • The posts of the frames have a standard diameter based on common couplers. Tubes and fittings can be used whenever bracing, reinforcement, handrails or other structures needed to complete the requirements.

A robust, versatile, and easily assembled formwork that offers a wide range of high performing applications due to the various possible configurations. Usage of the Soldier system is not limited to vertical concrete construction. Vertical or horizontal projects like bridges and heavy concrete decking can be also be executed by this system. By adding only a few more items, the system is then able to be employed for heavy duty shoring structures with all the features of superior a product.

CORE FEATURES

  • Since the distance in between all components is customizable, formwork can be plotted according to the required pressure even when the expected resistance is very high.
  • The ability to optimize items for specific pressure makes this system a wise economical choice.
  • Wallers can be combined into the desired length by using incorporated end plates.
  • Diamond shaped openings in wallers provide options to fix accessories to the complete system and make it lighter and handy.
  • The system can be composed with a choice of secondary wooden or aluminum beams to create the final shape of the concrete using an optional board.

The combi formwork is a handy practical modular formwork for concrete vertical construction like foundations, pillars, walls, and shafts. With a wide range of dimensions, the combi formwork ensures concrete is laid into its required shape with superb on-site performance. The panels can be filled by various accessories that give a comprehensive solution for individual projects.

CORE FEATURES

  • Panels have sides with punched and drilled 5 cm interchangeable holes and slots for clips for simple fastening using connectors which ensure the panels are tightly joined. In the case of irregular terrain conditions, inclusion of the raster is very useful.
  • Handset panel formwork is perfect for projects where lifting cranes are not viable, even if high resistance formwork is still required.
  • Up to 40kN/m2 can be used with no additional reinforcement by wallers.
  • Facing plywood is imbedded into steel frames, thus no extra investment is required. Plywood may be replaced once worn from usage.

Props and Jack as are adjustable, coming with flexibility that goes hand-in hand with multi-utilization. Props come in a range of lengths along with two options for load capacity that allow them to be used for practically any horizontal structure up to 6 meters. Jacks are used for the stabilization of vertical formworks by absorbing horizontal loads from the wind. Jacks of different sizes are available to match the height of various walls to maintain an angle that ensures proper load transmission.

CORE FEATURES

  • When using props, the entire height of shoring is supported by a single component of appropriate length. The erection of such systems allows for workers to complete their job in less time.
  • Deployment of props isn’t limited to a specific distance as this depends on load distribution.
  • Props are designed in a manner that allows for them to be used with different types of heads for various types of horizontal formwork.

Jacks have an incorporated foot that guarantees the transmission of the load into the ground without compromising stability.

AMA beams may be used as a part of formwork with both aluminium and wooden beams being compatible with the soldier system for vertical or horizontal construction. Additionally, beams are often used for slab formwork where they can either form part of the secondary or primary grid, or both. The handy shape and light weight of these components has a positive impact on the speed of assembling, dismantling, and shifting thereby allowing for less and better utilization of labour.

CORE FEATURES

  • Traditional beam slab formwork is well known for its unlimited flexibility. In fact, its compatibility with all types of scaffolding and props make it outstandingly unique
  • The sturdy properties and possibility to adapt the distance between the units makes formwork using beams a favoured choice as they can withstand even the highest expectations for pressure or load.

While wooden beams are preferred because of their adaptable qualities and ease of maintenance on jobsites, aluminum beams are also highly commended for their high performance and durability.

Access scaffolding requires suitable platforms. Wooden boards make the perfect solution for a safe, lightweight scaffold boards. Scaffolding steel boards can be used in place of wooden boards as a temporary access platform. In fact, they boast a high load carrying capacity and triple the life span of wooden boards.

CORE FEATURES

  • Solid saw wooden boards are typically tensile and lightweight with their ends protected against splits with steel strips.
  • Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) scaffold boards are a type of engineering wood that are produced to avoid defects that might be naturally found in solid saw boards. These boards are very stable and durable.
  • Steel boards come incorporated with a slip resistant surface and due to their ingenious shape, they have heavy duty characteristics while possessing lightweight bodies. Clients can expect a guaranteed longer product lifetime.

It is essential to ensure the safe vertical movement of workers by using the appropriate equipment. Ladders with a suitable height need to be employed to maintain the correct slope and overlap over the platforms. Where the shifting of material is expected during the project execution, the staircase is used in place of ladders.

CORE FEATURES

  • Ladders are produced with different lengths and properties to meet each project requirement. Ladder beams have a similar configuration and are supplied for overpassing longer horizontal spans or creating cantilevers.
  • The use of the staircase is very effective when a large amount of people is passing through the vertical communication channel or material is due to be shifted.
  • Aluminum towers are lightweight, easy to erect scaffolding structures. Despite a small base, and thanks to a stabilization system, they can reach an impressive height.
  • Aluminum towers might be used as static units, whereas movable aluminum towers that are equipped with wheels can be used to reach different locations within a large area.

Tubes and fittings are items that have an overwhelming ability to be employed as complementary units to almost all types of scaffolding. While incorporating them into the other systems, components are used for the bracing and reinforcement of structures, while also being easily combined to the loadbearing formwork as individual systems. Additionally, couplers play an essential role in safety. They are designed to fasten boards and ladders, securing the connection of tubes or attaching them to the beams.

CORE FEATURES

  • Universal components are compatible with almost all scaffolding systems.
  • Used to reinforce, brace, and make a whole structure rigid. By using tubes and couplers to tie or outrigger, stability is secured.
  • Creates an autonomous scaffolding system with impassable versatility thus it is often employed when a part or a whole project requires unconventional arrangement.
  • Couplers give the opportunity to attach scaffolding to other steel structures – horizontal or vertical beams, girder flanges, and tubes.
