Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a limpet clamp used for in scaffolding?
A. A limpet clamp attaches scaffold tubes, sheeting rails, or cable management components to scaffold tubes, walls, or structural elements using a single-bolt clamping action. Its name comes from the limpet shell shape of the clamp body, which grips firmly around tube or flat surfaces.
Q. What surfaces does a limpet clamp work on?
A. Limpet clamps work on scaffold tubes and flat or curved structural surfaces. They are commonly used to attach cables, safety lines, sheeting bands, and secondary tubes to existing scaffold structures or building facades without drilling.
Q. What tube size does the limpet clamp fit?
A. Altrad Generation limpet clamps are designed for use with 3.2mm and 4.0mm scaffold tube. Check the product specification to confirm the clamping range for non-tube surfaces.
Q. Is a limpet clamp a structural fitting?
A. A limpet clamp is a lightweight attachment fitting for cables, sheeting bands, and secondary tube connections. It is not rated as a structural coupler. For structural scaffold connections, use drop forged double couplers or swivel couplers rated to BS EN 74-1:2005.
