Shoring Scaffold
Shoring scaffolds are designed specifically to carry heavy loads. They are frequently used in formwork operations and larger construction projects, providing a reliable basis for temporary structures.
What do you need a shoring scaffold for?
A shoring scaffold carries high loads - for example when concreting slabs, bridges or halls. Unlike a facade scaffold, it supports the structure during the construction phase. At CETRAC you get inspected material for exactly these tasks - used, up to 60% cheaper than new.
Which load class do you need?
The right load class determines the safety and stability of your shoring scaffold. If you are unsure, our load class calculator will help - it shows you in just a few steps which class suits your project.
Buy a shoring scaffold instead of renting?
Especially for longer construction phases, buying a shoring scaffold quickly pays off. You can find out whether buying or renting is cheaper for your project with our buy-vs-rent calculator.
Shoring scaffold - areas of use
- Supporting slab formwork in building construction and civil engineering
- Load transfer for beams, girders with large spans and heavy components
- Temporary supports for concreting sections, cycles and formwork carriages
- Shoring scaffolds beneath bridges, ramps and superstructures
- Securing intermediate levels, platforms and working decks under high loads
- Use in high-rise buildings, car parks, industrial facilities and infrastructure projects
- Ideal when defined load paths and carefully planned structural design are required

FAQ - Shoring scaffold
A shoring scaffold is a temporary scaffold structure for load transfer. It supports formwork such as slab formwork, slabs and heavy components until they have reached their own load-bearing capacity.
Typical applications are:
- Supporting slab formwork
- Propping beams and girders
- Supporting bridge and engineering structures
- Load transfer for heavy concrete structures
For targeted load transfer, shoring props are often used.
How does a shoring scaffold differ from a normal scaffold?
A construction scaffold primarily provides working platforms for people.
A shoring scaffold is designed for high loads and takes on the role of a temporary supporting structure for formwork and components.
The load-bearing capacity is system- and project-dependent and is determined structurally. Specific values depend on the following factors:
- The system used
- The assembly configuration
- The project's load assumptions
The scaffold load classes provide an overview of permissible loads.
Yes, structural planning is essential for shoring scaffolds, as high loads must be safely transferred and channelled into the ground. You will find further guidance under scaffold safety.
