Horizontal Braces
Horizontal braces create a firm connection between the vertical components and distribute the load evenly within the structure. Whether in complex scaffold systems or simple construction projects - horizontal braces ensure that the structure remains safe and reliable.

Advantages of horizontal braces
- Stabilise scaffold bays in the transverse direction
- Secure the grid dimension and prevent deformation
- Easy handling during assembly & dismantling
- An important connecting element between vertical components
- System-precise function for facade and modular scaffolds
Various horizontal braces at a glance
Standard horizontal braces
For classic facade and frame scaffolds; they define bay widths and cross-connections.
- Very fast assembly
- Less flexible with special geometries
Modular horizontal braces
Braces with a connection geometry for modular nodes - flexible in 3D grid planning.
- Maximum grid flexibility
- Dependent on the modular node
Reinforced horizontal braces
For increased transverse stability or particular situations in special scaffolds.
- High stability in demanding areas
- Higher weight / slightly more involved handling
Short / connection braces
For detail points, transitions, adaptations and small bay widths.
- Precise adjustments possible
- Supplementary function only

FAQ - Horizontal braces
What are horizontal braces used for?
For transverse stabilisation and to ensure the correct bay dimension in the scaffold.
Usually not. They are system-dependent and compatible with the respective grid.
Their main function is horizontal stability, not vertical load-bearing.
With increased demands on transverse stability or in special scaffolds.
EasyFlow maps the scaffold area - braces are additionally defined via the system.
