Scaffold Clamps & Couplings
Scaffold clamps and couplings connect scaffold tubes and system components securely with one another, forming the central link in the classic tube-and-coupler scaffold as well as in many special structures. They secure the geometry, transfer forces and enable flexible, stable and load-bearing connections - from facade scaffolds to industrial structures.
Scaffold clamps & couplings
- High stability in tube-to-tube connections
- Maximum flexibility for geometries, angles, special solutions
- Indispensable in special scaffolds, suspended structures, industrial plants
- Simple, intuitive assembly (screw/rotary connections)
- Compatible with scaffold tubes from many manufacturers (system-dependent)
A brief look at scaffold couplings
Right-angle couplers (90°)
For right-angled basic connections - the standard in tube-and-coupler scaffolds.
Swivel couplers
Freely rotatable for flexible angle connections.
Parallel couplers
For parallel tube connections, reinforcements and additional structures.
Straightening struts & diagonal couplers
For the secure fastening of diagonals and bracing struts.
Heavy-duty / reinforced couplers
For higher requirements in industrial or special structures.

FAQ - Scaffold clamps & couplings
For the secure connection of tubes or system components - they form the "joints" and "anchor points" of a tube-and-coupler system.
Yes, provided they meet compatible tube diameters and system approvals.
Right-angle couplers connect at a 90° angle; swivel couplers at freely selectable angles.
For increased requirements, special loads or industrial supporting structures.
Tube couplers can often be used universally for standard tubes - system couplers, on the other hand, are manufacturer-specific.
