Quickstage Steel Scaffolding Connectors

R30,36

Connector Type	Purpose	Key Features
Wedge-Press V‑Press	Connect ledgers/transoms/brace inherently	Captive, tool-free, fast assembly
Spigot + Drop‑Head	Join standards & support formwork beams	Flanged spigots, removable drop-heads
DH‑Coupler	Attach tubes to standards at 90°	Q235 steel, galvanised, EN74‑1 certified, ~1.3 kg
Ledger / Transom	Scaffold decking structure	Ledgers with wedge ends; transoms plain or angled, heavy-duty variants
Swivel/Fixed Couplers	Specialty angled tube connections	Enables non-standard bracing/configurations

Modularity & Speed: Wedge-press and captive connectors minimize loose parts for quick assembly.
Structural Integrity: Spigot/drop-head systems securely tie vertical elements.
Versatility: Couplers allow for personal configurations beyond standard bay setups.
Safety & Compliance: Most components meet EN 74/BS 1139 and Australian AS/NZS standards, supporting reliable vertical and horizontal load handling.

Wedge‑Press (V‑Press) Connectors (Captive)

Function: Integrated into Kwikstage standards, these welded V‑pressings with wedges enable fast, tool‑free assembly of ledgers, transoms, braces, hop‑ups, tie bars, etc.
Advantages:
- Self‑locating, captive system – no loose nuts or bolts
- Fast and safe erection/disassembly, ideal for unskilled labour.
- Standards made from Ø 48.3 × 4 mm tubing, V‑presses spaced ~495 mm apart

Spigot Connectors: Male/female tubes (spigots) that join open-ended standards together and support drop‑heads. Typically flanged with captive spigots.
Drop‑Heads: Fit onto spigots and accept infill beams or decking beams; rotate to release beams while standard remains in place.

DH Couplers: Fixed steel clamps to attach additional tubes orthogonally (e.g., tie tubes or braces) to standards.
- Constructed from Q235 steel, hot‑dip galvanized or zinc-plated
- Compatible with Ø 48.3 mm tubes, meeting EN 74‑1/BS 1139 standards
- Weight ~1.3 kg each

Ledgers & Transoms attach via captive wedge‑press connectors:
- Ledgers (horizontals) sized imperial/metric (e.g., 0.6 – 2.4 m; wall thickness 3.2 mm)
- Transoms support scaffold boards: plain-ended or back‑to‑back angles for heavier pedestrian loads

Not native to Kwikstage but used to attach scaffold tubes at variable or fixed angles to the system when required:
- Swivel couplers offer full‑rotation flexibility
- Fixed (double) couplers hold tubes at set 90° angles
