Wedge Systems are used to distinguish between different systems that connect horizontal to vertical by means of Captive Wedges. |
|
These systems are: |
|
Kwickstage System
ShoreLock System
WedgeLock System
Kwickstage (Box Wedge) System |
|
Wedge Systems are modular systems for scaffolding and shoring which has been developed with one object in mind, "to reduce the cost of shoring and to increase the flexibility in erection, supporting, dismantling and storing". They had been proven to dramatically increase the efficiency in a variety of projects. Wedge Systems can reduce the time of erection compared to other systems. It has no loose connectors and can be erected with a less skilled crew. There are no nuts or bolts, only wedges are required to fasten the horizontal. They are strong enough to be used in shoring applications and can be stored in less space.

1. Load Transfer Mechanism |
|
Each post (standard) has a set of sockets at certain intervals, the horizontal (Ledger) element have captive wedges at each end which are placed into the appropriate socket. A hammer, the only tool required for complete assembly, is used to set the wedge. As the wedge is driven, it pulls the "C" flange against the post, locking it securely from any movement. This arrangement distributes the load directly to the post, without applying load on the flanges itself.

2. Kwickstage System |
|
Kwickstage is one of the main traditional scaffolding systems available in the market and provides contractors with an economical safe method of erecting. This system, designed with flexibility in mind, can be used for a variety of applications and can be erected for straight scaffolding structures only. |

Kwickstage Components |
|
A. Standards |
|
Recommended by contractors all over the world, our high quality Kwickstage standards are number one in their class, because they will accommodate four types of ledger. |
|
Also, these standards have specially curved and carefully welded hooks at 50cm gaps allowing maximum utilization. Kwickstage standards conform to British Standards and are designed to be able to bare heavy duty handling. Sizes available range from 0.50 m to 3.0 m. Special sizes are available upon request.

B. Ledgers |
|
GOLF Scaffolding Factory manufactures C ended ledgers to be used in conjunction with the Kwickstage standards. Like the Kwickstage standards, Our 'C' ended ledgers are designed to cope with the rough conditions of site handling, conform to British Standards, and they are also insured against any kind of manufacturing defect and liability. Sizes range from 0.61 m to 2.44 m for maximum coverage of the area.

Cantilever Elements |
|
a. Cantilever Frame (CF) |
|
To provide extra support at the edge of a construction, especially slab edge formwork, the cantilever frame can be attached directly to the standards at the node points. This frame spigot jack can be fitted to hold the various supports, forkheads and dropheads at a distance of 4' (1.22m). |

b. Beam Bracket |
|
GOLF Scaffolding Factory has improved the beam bracket which is engineered to support beam loads. Beam bracket eliminates full height propping to beam formwork by locating on to slab support vertical as shown above, accepts standard jacks and forkheads. The result is a substantial saving in the cost of your project.
