Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a Burton Plain Spanner used for?
A. A Burton Plain Spanner is a scaffold spanner for tightening and loosening scaffold coupler bolts. The plain (non-ratcheting) design provides a robust, straightforward tightening mechanism for scaffold couplers during erection and dismantling operations.
Q. What size coupler bolt does the Burton Plain Spanner fit?
A. The Burton Plain Spanner is sized for standard scaffold coupler bolts used across UK scaffolding, including the drop forged double coupler range. Contact your local branch to confirm the spanner specification for your specific coupler types.
Q. What is the difference between a plain spanner and a ratchet spanner?
A. A plain spanner requires you to reposition the tool for each rotation, while a ratchet spanner allows continuous tightening without repositioning. Plain spanners are simpler and more durable. ratchet spanners are faster for high-volume coupler tightening.
Q. Is the Burton Plain Spanner suitable for heavy duty scaffolding use?
A. Yes. Burton scaffold spanners are manufactured for professional scaffolding use and withstand the daily demands of scaffold erection and dismantling operations across construction sites.
