The pressed steel double coupler from Altrad Generation creates right-angle connections between scaffold tubes in lighter duty and temporary scaffold applications, providing an economical alternative to the drop forged double coupler where the full structural load rating is not required.
Available for hire and sale, pressed steel double couplers work with pressed sleeve couplers, pressed base plates, and scaffold tube to build economical, compliant scaffold solutions for budget-sensitive projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a pressed steel double coupler?
A. A pressed steel double coupler connects two scaffold tubes at right angles, performing the same function as a drop forged double coupler but manufactured from pressed sheet steel rather than drop forged steel. It provides a more economical alternative for lower-load scaffold applications.
Q. When should I use a pressed steel double coupler instead of a drop forged one?
A. Use a drop forged double coupler for all primary structural connections in loaded scaffold bays where the full 9.1kN slip load rating to BS EN 74-1:2005 is required. Pressed steel double couplers are suitable for lighter duty, temporary, or short-duration scaffold applications within their rated capacity. Your scaffold design specifies the coupler type for each connection.
Q. What standard does the pressed steel double coupler comply with?
A. Altrad Generation pressed steel double couplers are manufactured to relevant British Standards for scaffold fittings and are suitable for temporary scaffold applications within their rated load capacity.
Q. What tube diameter does the pressed steel double coupler fit?
A. Pressed steel double couplers from Altrad Generation fit 3.2mm and 4.0mm scaffold tube, the same diameter as the full Altrad Generation tube and fitting scaffold range.
Q. Are pressed steel double couplers available for hire?
A. Yes. Altrad Generation supplies pressed steel double couplers for hire and sale from Altrad Generation. They are available as part of the complete scaffold fittings range.
