Scaffold Ties and Braces

In order to be secure and safe, scaffolding towers need to be stabilized and squared at the base by strong braces. From there, assuming you aren’t using a freestanding scaffold tower, ties need to be added to secure the scaffolding to the structure for further stabilization and safety.

Note: With standard scaffolding, 2 scaffolding frames and 2 scaffolding braces make a “box” or “buck” which is one “set” of frame

Scaffold Ties

The scaffold ties we offer can adjust from 4″ to 32″ from the scaffolding tower to tie it into the structure. The tube clamp adjusts to fit various scaffold frame leg sizes. These can be used in place of outriggers when safe.

Scaffolding Braces

The braces we provide conform to the most rigid tolerance tests in the industry, making them the most used and recognized on the market today. Proudly made in the USA with the highest quality components, including ID coated tubing for extended life and powder coat finish for durability that exceed OSHA regulations. Braces are generally single rods of steel that connect perpendicularly at the base to strengthen scaffolding. We provide several types including:

Diagonal/Cross: Connecting in the middle that creates a full cross (X) when opened up, diagonal or cross braces are used in conjunction with scaffold frames to form sections. These are used to determine the length of each scaffold section or the span between your frames.
Horizontal: Horizontal braces are actually used primarily for stage and event setup. These allow for faster setup while easily adapting to low stage heights.
Lateral: These braces are single rods of steel that connect perpendicularly at the base of scaffolding. These work best in conjunction with cat-a-corner braces.
Cat-a-corner: These braces are single rods of steel that connect diagonally at the base of scaffolding. These work best in conjunction with lateral braces.
Arm: These scaffolding arm braces are used when workers need to access scaffolding from the braced side.
