Our Extendable Intermediate Transoms are designed to revolutionise your platform construction process with these key features:
Unique 3-in-1 Design: Combines three separate components into one easily assembled unit, simplifying setup and reducing on-site labour.
Versatile System Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with both traditional tube and fitting scaffolds and Readylok transom systems, providing flexibility across your projects.
Wide Range of Scaffold Applications: Suitable for various scaffold types, including Facade Access, Inspection, Lightweight, Medium, and Heavy-Duty Scaffolds, ensuring adaptability for any project.
TG20:13 Compliance: Supports 1, 2, or 3 Inside Boards loaded to 0.75kN, adhering to industry-standard safety regulations.
Adaptable Width Options: Available in sizes to accommodate 4 or 5 board wide scaffolds, catering to diverse platform requirements.
Readylok Integration: Specific models (866mm and 1098mm) designed for direct compatibility with Readylok 4 and 5 board units, ensuring a perfect fit and efficient workflow.
Applications:
The Extendable Intermediate Transom is ideal for:
Scaffolding construction and maintenance, including projects using scaffolding frames and scaffold feet.
Temporary work platforms and staging, supporting Scaffold Planks and Corrugated Iron Sheeting.
Supporting decking and planking, enhancing stability for builder’s trestles and scaffold boards.
Creating stable and secure scaffolding systems for industrial scaffolding and construction support.
FAQs:
Q. What is a transom on a scaffold?
A. A transom on a scaffold is a horizontal component that spans between ledgers, providing support for scaffold boards or decking. It helps create a stable working platform. For high-quality transoms, explore our range here
Q. What is the difference between a ledger and a transom in scaffolding?
A. Ledgers are horizontal tubes that run along the length of the scaffold, connecting vertical standards. Transoms run perpendicular to ledgers, spanning between them to support the working platform.
Q. What is the difference between a transom and a Putlog?
A. A transom spans between ledgers to support scaffold boards. A Putlog, historically, was a shorter horizontal tube with one end resting on a masonry wall and the other on a ledger. Modern putlogs are used in system scaffolding and connect to the scaffolding itself.
Q. What is the purpose of a transom?
A. The primary purpose of a transom is to provide a stable and secure support for scaffold boards or decking, creating a safe working platform on the scaffold. See our durable transom options here
Q. What is the overhang on a scaffold transom?
A. The overhang on a scaffold transom refers to the length of the transom that extends beyond the ledger. This overhang is typically regulated by safety standards to ensure stability and prevent overloading. Specific measurements vary depending on the scaffolding system and regulatory requirements.
Q. Can I hire scaffold Transoms?
A. Yes, we offer a range of high-quality transom scaffolds for both hire and sale. Our transoms are designed for durability and compliance with industry safety standards.
Q. How does the Readylok transom system integrate with traditional scaffolding setups?
A. The Readylok transom system locks into place quickly. It works with standard tube and fitting scaffolding. You gain faster installation and consistent alignment.
