What is cuplock scaffolding?
Cuplock scaffolding is a mature system. It mainly composes of standard, ledger, brace, plank and so on.
Cuplock node is revolutionary, so makes it faster and easier erection than any other scaffolding. It uses the "Cup"
and "Blade" to lock the vertical and horizontal together by rotating the top cup.
On the standard each top cup has a limited position pin. This small part determines whether the ledger can be locked tightly. It must be at right place, not too up or too down.
