Planks

Planks form the working surface of assembly scaffolds and the deck of tube-and-fitting platforms. Hook-end planks interlock with cuplock and ringlock ledgers; plain-end planks sit on the ledgers of tube-and-fitting systems. Available in widths from 9 to 12 inches and lengths from 3 to 12 feet, in zinc-plated, pre-galvanized or hot dip galvanized finishes. Specify width, length, end type, finish and the quantity you need.

End types by system

Hooks for cuplock ledgers, plain for tube frames

Hook ends lock square into the sockets of cuplock and ringlock ledgers. Plain ends sit on the ledgers of tube-and-fitting platforms, letting the ledger position each plank as it runs across the bay.

Deck profile

Perforated steel surface for grip and durability

Planks are formed from steel strip and perforated across the deck surface. The perforations provide slip-resistant grip for the user and reduce weight without compromising strength.

Specifications

How it works

Lay planks across the ledgers to form the deck

Position the first plank across the ledgers, seating hook ends or plain ends as the system requires. Lay the next plank beside it and continue across the bay, butting the ends together. The perforated surface provides grip for the user, and multiple planks can be laid lengthwise along the run or side-by-side to span the bay.

Common applications

Where it is used.

Application

Working platforms on cuplock and ringlock scaffolds

Cuplock bays have ledgers spaced at standard intervals; planks with matching hook ends lock directly into the sockets. The perforated surface keeps workers from slipping, and the planks interlock so they cannot shift or separate.

Application

Tube-and-fitting platform decks

On welded tube-and-fitting scaffolds, plain-end planks sit on the ledgers that carry them. The ledger itself positions and supports each plank, holding it in line across the bay.

Application

Access platforms during maintenance and refurbishment

Temporary working levels during renovation, cavity tray installation and facade work require platforms that span the scaffold width. Planks in the required width and length make up the deck, sitting on the ledgers or transom rails.

What are steel scaffold planks called in different regions?

Planks are steel planks or scaffold planks in the US and Australia and New Zealand, steel boards or scaffold boards in the UK, Stahlboden or Stahlbelag in German, tavola metallica or piano di calpestio in Italian and plancher pour échafaudage in French.

Which plank ends suit which scaffold?

Planks with hook ends sit over the ledgers or transoms of system scaffolds such as cuplock, while plain-ended planks rest on the transoms of tube-and-fitting scaffolds. Corona makes planks 9, 10 and 12 inches (200 to 500 mm) wide and 3 to 12 ft (0.5 to 4 m) long.

Scaffolding & Shoring Systems

Part of working-platform and decking systems

Planks form the working surface of cuplock and tube-and-fitting platforms. Screw jacks level the support rails, and the planks interlock to create a secure deck.
