Multiclamp Adapter
The Multiclamp Adapter is the interface component that connects a Combisafe safety post to the Multi Clamp MK2 body. The standard adapter (code 74413, 1.2 kg) secures the post at 30 degrees, allowing the system to accommodate site geometry where a vertical post position is not achievable. The Multiclamp Body Only (code 74425, 3.9 kg) is available separately for sites that already hold adapter stocks and need replacement clamp bodies.
In scaffold coupler and scaffold fittings terms, the adapter acts as a locking receiver, holding the post securely in the Multi Clamp MK2 while resisting rotation and accidental withdrawal. The weather-resistant construction keeps the locking mechanism operational in the wet and cold conditions typical of UK construction sites, reducing the risk of the post becoming loose after installation due to environmental exposure.
Specifying the correct adapter variant is straightforward. If the site is using the full Multi Clamp MK2 assembly including the adapter, code 74413 supplies both the clamp body and the adapter. If the clamp body is already on site and only the adapter is needed, code 74413 covers that requirement. For the body alone, code 74425 applies. Both variants are stocked by Altrad Generation across its UK and Ireland branch network.

Frequently asked questions
Q: What does a multiclamp adapter do?
A: The Multiclamp Adapter connects a Combisafe safety post to the Multi Clamp MK2 clamp body. The adapter inserts into the clamp body and receives the base of the safety post, locking the post in position at the required angle. The standard 30-degree variant (code 74413) holds the post at an offset angle from vertical, which is used where site geometry requires a non-vertical post. The adapter includes a locking mechanism that resists accidental post withdrawal and is built from weather-resistant materials for outdoor site use.
Q: How do you connect safety posts to a beam clamp?
A: To connect a Combisafe safety post to a Multi Clamp MK2 beam clamp, the Multiclamp Adapter is first seated into the clamp body. The base of the safety post is then inserted into the adapter and the locking mechanism is engaged. This two-stage assembly keeps the post secure against both uplift and lateral movement. The clamp body itself is positioned over the steel beam flange and tightened before the post and adapter are attached, ensuring the full assembly is stable before any barrier panels are fitted.
Q: What is the difference between the Multiclamp Adapter and the Multiclamp body?
A: The Multiclamp Adapter (code 74413) is the receiver component into which the safety post inserts. The Multiclamp Body Only (code 74425) is the beam clamp element that grips the steel beam flange. In normal ordering, the two parts are purchased or hired together as a system. Separate ordering is available for sites that hold one component and need a replacement for the other. The adapter weighs 1.2 kg and the body alone weighs 3.9 kg.
