Scaffolding Frames, Standing Frames & Vertical Frames

    Scaffolding frames - often called standing frames or vertical frames - form the load-bearing basic structure of a facade scaffold. They define height, width and the system grid and enable fast, repeatable assembly with clear connection points. They are the central component of every frame system.

    Advantages of scaffolding frames

    Fast assembly: Large components = fewer individual parts = less assembly effort.
    System precision: Clean geometry, firmly defined grids.
    High repeatability: Ideal for large facade areas and standardised projects.
    Stable assembly: Fixed connection points for decking, railings, diagonals.
    Efficient logistics: Stackable, easy to transport, low complexity.

    All scaffolding frames at a glance

    Classic standing frames (frame scaffolds)

    Standard frames for facade structures.

    • defined bay widths
    • the vertical basic structure for decking & railings

    Vertical frames for modular scaffolds

    System-specific vertical components for modular nodes.

    • fixed connection nodes
    • ideal for more complex structures

    Combination frames / special frames

    Frames for special heights, widths or connection mounts.

    • e.g. for transitions, low starting points or particular facade situations

    Starter frames / extension frames

    Frames for adjusting start and end heights.

    • adjustments at the bottom or top of the scaffold

    Accessories for frame areas

    • Base plates / jacks
    • Locking pins
    • Connecting and securing parts

    Scaffolding frames in use - pros & cons

    Advantages

    Disadvantages

    • Very fast assembly, especially on large facades
    • Less flexible than modular scaffolds on irregular buildings
    • Stable, clear grid → less measuring effort
    • System-specific → cannot be combined at will
    • A uniform working environment for all trades
    • Bulky components require transport space
    • High system compatibility within the respective manufacturer
    • Special structures require extensive supplementary components
    • Efficient logistics thanks to stackability & a small variety of parts
    		 

    Scaffolding frames - overview & comparison

    Standing frames (facade scaffold)

    • The highest assembly speed
    • Perfect for long, continuous facades

     

    • Less flexible at projections, angles, curves
    • System-specific

    Vertical frames (modular basis)

    • Very stable, ideal for industry & special structures
    • Compatible with modular connections

     

    • Higher planning effort
    • More parts than standing frames

    Special / combination frames

    • Solve special building geometries

     

    • Sometimes higher purchase costs
    • Project-specific, less universal
