Altrad Generation scaffold poles are manufactured from 3.2mm high yield galvanised steel to BS EN10219-1 Grade S355JOH. Each tube has a 48.3mm outer diameter, making them compatible with standard Scaffold Fittings and couplers. Seven scaffold tube lengths are available from 5ft (1.5m) to 21ft (6.4m) to suit any bay width or platform configuration.
High yield Grade S355JOH steel delivers greater yield strength than standard 4mm tube while being lighter to handle on site. This combination of strength and reduced weight makes these scaffold poles suited to demanding construction applications where reliable structural performance matters. Whether you need scaffold tubes for sale in individual lengths or larger quantities, your nearest Altrad Generation branch can help.
Scaffold poles for hire are also available from Altrad Generation, making these scaffold tubes a flexible choice for both ongoing projects and short term requirements. Pair your scaffold poles with our Scaffold Fittings and Scaffold Boards to assemble a complete scaffolding system for your site. Where reduced weight is a priority, our Aluminium Scaffold Tube provides a lightweight alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What sizes do scaffold poles come in?
A. Altrad Generation scaffold poles are available in seven standard lengths: 5ft (1.5m), 6ft (1.8m), 8ft (2.4m), 10ft (3m), 13ft (3.9m), 16ft (4.8m), and 21ft (6.4m). These lengths cover the standard bay widths used in traditional tube and fitting scaffolding systems.
Q. What is the difference between 3.2mm and 4mm scaffold tube?
A. 3.2mm high yield scaffold tube is manufactured from Grade S355JOH steel, which offers a higher yield strength than standard scaffold tube while being lighter overall. These scaffold poles give you stronger structural performance at a lower weight, reducing the load your operatives carry on site without sacrificing reliability.
Q. What standard does scaffold tube need to conform to?
A. Scaffold tube in the UK needs to conform to BS EN10219-1. Altrad Generation scaffold poles are manufactured to this standard at Grade S355JOH, confirming the correct outer diameter of 48.3mm, wall thickness of 3.2mm, and steel grade for use in scaffolding applications.
