The base plate tube from Altrad Generation speeds up scaffold erection by providing a pre-assembled standard base unit, with the base plate permanently attached to a short scaffold tube section. You position the unit at each standard location and build up from the pre-fitted base without separately handling the plate and tube.
Available for hire and sale from Altrad Generation, base plate tubes complement scaffold base plates, scaffold tube, and the full scaffold fittings range for fast, compliant scaffold erection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is a base plate tube?
A. A base plate tube is a short, pre-fitted section of scaffold tube with a base plate welded or permanently attached at one end. You use it as the starting component for a scaffold standard, placing the base plate on the ground and building the scaffold up from the pre-attached tube section.
Q. What is the benefit of a base plate tube over separate base plate and tube?
A. A base plate tube reduces erection time by eliminating the need to separately locate and secure a base plate and tube at each standard position. The permanent connection ensures the plate is correctly positioned and aligned with the standard during erection.
Q. What scaffold tube size is the base plate tube supplied in?
A. Altrad Generation base plate tubes are supplied with 3.2mm scaffold tube and 4.0mm scaffold tube and a base plate to match. They are compatible with the full scaffold fittings range for building up the standard from the base.
Q. What is the standard height of a base plate tube?
A. Base plate tubes are available in a standard short length to provide the initial section of a scaffold standard above ground level. Contact your local Altrad Generation branch to confirm current stock lengths.
Q. Are base plate tubes available for hire from Altrad Generation?
A. Yes. Altrad Generation supplies base plate tubes for hire and sale from Altrad Generation. They are available alongside scaffold base plates, scaffold tube, and the complete scaffold fittings range.
