Buy scaffolding frames & adjustable frames

Scaffolding frames – often referred to as upright frames or vertical frames – form the load-bearing framework of a facade scaffolding. They define the height, width and system grid, and enable rapid, repeatable assembly with clearly defined connection points. They are the central component of any frame system.

Advantages of scaffolding frames

Quick assembly: Large components = fewer individual parts = less assembly work.
System precision: Clean geometry, clearly defined grids.
High repeatability: Ideal for large façade areas and standardised projects.
Stable structure: Fixed connection points for decking, guardrails and diagonal braces.
Efficient logistics: Stackable, easy to transport, low complexity.

An overview of all scaffolding frames:

Traditional frame scaffolding

Standard frames for façade structures.

• defined field widths
• Vertical framework for decking and guardrails

Vertical frames for modular scaffolding

System-specific vertical components for module nodes.

• fixed connection nodes
• ideal for more complex designs

Combination frames / Special frames

Frames for specific heights, widths or connection fittings.

• e.g. for transitions, low starting points or unusual façade configurations

Starting frames & extension frames

A box for adjusting the start and end heights.

• Adjustments to the top or bottom of the scaffolding

Accessories for frame sections

• Base plates / spindles
• locking pin
• Fasteners and securing components

Scaffolding frames in use: pros and cons

Scaffolding frames: Overview + comparison

Formwork frames (facade scaffolding)

• Maximum assembly speed
• Ideal for long, uninterrupted façades

• Less flexible when dealing with projections, angles and curves
• System-specific

Vertical frame (module-based)

• Very sturdy, ideal for industrial and specialised structures
• Compatible with module connectors

• Greater planning effort
• More parts than the frame

Special/combination frames

• Dealing with specialised building geometries

• In some cases, higher purchase costs
• Project-specific, less universal

Calculate scaffolding area

Are you putting your scaffolding together from individual parts? With our EasyFlow scaffolding area calculator, you can first work out the scaffolding area you need – so you’ll know exactly how many frames and other components you’ll require. It’s free, with no obligation, and takes just a few seconds.

FAQ – Scaffolding frames, adjustable frames & vertical frames

Fixed frames are traditional façade frames. Vertical frames form part of modular scaffolding systems and feature modular connectors for flexible connections.

Only on specifically authorised systems. As a general rule: system by system.

No. The dimensions are specific to each system. Standardised grids make assembly easier, but they vary depending on the manufacturer.

Only to a limited extent. Modular scaffolding components are advantageous when dealing with projections, curves and irregular structures.

Because a large component replaces several individual parts → less handling, fewer sources of error, faster assembly.
