Cuplock formwork system is a shoring scaffold formed by the cuplock vertical and ledger parts with cuplock formwork components of deck beams, infill beams, drop head, socket base plates and universal jacks, used for slab concrete shoring construction.
Cuplock standards are also called cuplock verticals, cuplock legs or cuplock posts. They are vertical legs with top and bottom cups used to receive cuplock horizontal, bracing, and bracket parts in the cup scaffolding construction.
Cuplock ledgers are also called cuplock horizontals. They are cuplock system materials made of 48.3mm cuplock pipes with ledger blades at each end, connecting to the cups of cuplock verticals in the construction.
Cuplock scaffold swivel clamp brace is the diagonal part of the cup lock system. They are made from 48.3mm scaffold tube with two scaffold half clamps on each side, connecting to cuplock vertical pipes in system construction.
Cuplock scaffolding swivel blade braces are another type of diagonal component of the cuplock system. They consist of two brace blades at each end of the cuplock pipes, which connect to the cups of the cuplock standards during construction.
Cuplock brackets are side bracket components in the cup and lock system, forming a work platform in construction, making the cuplock system closer to the building. Two board brackets means can receive two wide cuplock boards.
Cuplock steel planks are a type of plank with plank hooks. The plank hooks connect to the cuplock horizontal elements in construction.
Cuplock omega hop-up brackets are also called cup lock hop-ups. It is a cuplock scaffolding system material designed with an inverted T-section (seat) to receive boards without hooks (plain ends), including both metal and timber boards.
Three board brackets are components of the cuplock system compatible with the hook on steel planks, designed to receive three wide steel planks to form a three-board-wide work platform in the cuplock construction.
Cuplock omega transoms are European standard cuplock system horizontal parts. They are made of omega steel profiles forming an inverted T-section and are used to receive scaffold batten boards without hooks and to form walk boards or work platforms in the system scaffolding construction.
Cuplock transoms are also horizontal parts of the cuplock system. They are used to split a bay between two cuplock ledgers, receive cuplock boards, and form an open area in cuplock scaffolding. Include intermediate transoms and inside intermediate transoms.
Scaffold base jacks are the levelling spindle feet in the cup lock system. Called an adjustable base plate as well. Cuplock base jacks make the scaffolding even and make the cuplock system safe on uneven ground. The base jacks have a screw-threaded jack stem, a jack handle nut and a steel foot plate. The threaded jack stem is inserted into cuplock verticals in the system scaffold construction.
Cuplock deck beams are components of the cuplock formwork system. They are made of high-strength steel profiles 100mm wide, used to receive cuplock infill beams forming shoring support in slab formwork construction. Cuplock deck beams are compatible with the cuplock scaffolding drop head and are the primary (first) beam of the shoring scaffold system.
Formwork infill beams sit on the omega area of the deck beams cap in cuplock formwork construction. As secondary beams, they are used to fill spaces between two cuplock deck beams.
Cuplock extended spigot adaptor extends cuplock cantilevers and cuplock brackets vertically to cuplock standards to create columns or guard railing systems in cuplock edge scaffold, also called cuplock vertical extension adaptor or extension spigot clamp, cantilever extension adapter, etc.

Cuplock Scaffolding
What is Cuplock Scaffolding
Cuplock scaffolding is a steel modular scaffold system with top and bottom cup scaffolding accessories fixed on cuplock vertical parts and scaffold blades fixed on cuplock horizontal, brace and bracket components. In construction, the scaffold blades of cuplock ledgers, braces and brackets connect to the bottom cups of cuplock verticals and are secured by top cups.
The modular scaffold system cups can receive ledger blades, ledgers, braces, and brackets from four directions, providing safety and flexibility for versatile construction applications, including building construction, industrial and oil-and-gas construction, concrete shoring and staging, and access tower systems.
As a modular scaffold system with prefabricated components, the cuplock scaffold system reduces erection time during construction. Self-connected and self-interlocked, no need for loose scaffolding clamps for fixing.
Compared to the traditional tube clamp scaffold system, the cuplock scaffold is lighter in self-weight and less expensive, bringing construction companies an ideal solution for both facade and shuttering projects.
SGB is the original scaffold company that creates cuplock scaffolding. It was called Cuplok. But cuplock scaffolding is a popular name.
Cuplock standards are made of 3.2 mm-thick scaffold steel tubes with cups spaced 500 mm apart, which are treated with paint, coating, or galvanising, while 4.0 mm scaffold tubes are also used in cuplock scaffolding when high load capacity is required.
A 3m cuplock scaffold standard in 3.2mm wall thickness and S235 steel grade can take 76 kN (approximately 7.6 tons) in construction — the tested ultimate load capacity of 153 kN divided by 2 (2:1 safety factor) = 76 kN.
Top cups of the cuplock standards can be forged or cast iron. Forged top cups are sturdier but more expensive. Cheap cuplcok standards have malleable cast-iron top cups.
Cuplock ledgers are made of 3.0 or 3.2mm scaffold tubes. The ledger blades on the cuplock ledgers can also be forged type or malleable cast iron. Same as cuplock verticals, cuplock ledger with cast iron ledger blades is cheap.
The steel cuplock scaffolding material can be painted or hot-dip galvanised. Hot-dip galvanising makes the cuplock scaffold system more durable and provides a longer lifespan.
Painted steel cuplock scaffolding is cheap and widely used in Gulf countries with desert climates, which are not very wet. So, painted cuplock material is fine for them.
As an ancient metal scaffolding modular system, cuplock scaffolding is required in Latin American countries, where it is called Andamio cuplock, and in some Asian and African countries, such as Singapore, India, and Tunisia.
Hot-dip galvanised Cuplocks with forged accessories are also a type of modular scaffold system required by construction companies and contractors in the USA and the UK.
In the cuplock system scaffolding construction, you only need a hammer to tighten the top cup with the ledger blades, easy, simple and safe.
Features of Cuplock System Modular Scaffolding
- Simple To Use
Cuplock scaffolding parts are designed with specified sizes with welded node locking devices. Workers just need to make them connected and formed by a hammer. Very simple and easy to erect and disassemble.
- Safety For Construction
Cuplock scaffolding is made of a 3.2mm scaffold in S355 steel grade. The high yield and tensile strength steel ensure cuplock scaffold material with high load capacity.
Fixed bottom cup are made from 5mm steel plates. Very strong to take all loads from cuplock ledgers, and braces.
Drop-forged top cups slide over to cover the cuplock ledger blades. Rotate the top cup to make the ledger blades covered safely and firmly.
Forged top cups can take all hits from hammers. Make the cuplock system stable without any moving and losing.
- Easy to Handle
Cuplock scaffolds use high grade steel but less weight. Compare to traditional type 4 scaffolding pipes. It is lighter 20% lighter. Easy to handle in construction. Cuplock materials are packed in steel pallets. Easy to transit by forklift.
- Save Time and Cost
Simple in erection, easy handling. Cuplock can short 30%-50% of time in scaffold construction.
The light weight makes the cuplock cheaper in cost too.
Hot dip galvanized finish gives the cuplock a longer life more than 10 years. Using cuplock scaffold save you cost in the short and long term.
- Flexible Application
Cuplock scaffolding system is able to form all shapes of scaffold and staging for construction which traditional scaffold is hard to arrange. With cuplock cantilever frames and brackets, cuplock scaffold is easy to support concrete slabs and beams beyond the main scaffold framing too.
In addition, using cuplok is easy to form any mobile scaffolding, staircase towers, and birdcages for internal and external construction.

Cuplock VS Ringlock VS Kwikstage Scaffolding
Cuplock, ringlock, and kwikstage are the three major modern metal modular scaffold systems used popularly for both construction and shoring.
Cuplock are designed with a cup and blade mechanism and forms a 4-direction erection; ringlock scaffolding is designed with a round ring and wedge head mechanism, which can receive an 8-direction erection; kwikstage scaffold is designed with V clips (form a star) and a wedge pin mechanism, which can receive a 4-direction erection as well.
Thus, ringlock scaffolding is the most flexible and versatile scaffold system, while cuplock and kwiktage scaffolds are fast, easy to erect, economical, and popular steel modular scaffold systems in many countries.
Recommended: 11 differences between the cuplock and ringlock scaffolding systems.

Cuplock Scaffolding Node Locking Devices
All cuplock scaffolding components are with distinguished locking devices welded or riveted on.
- Cuplock standards are welded with node locking devices of top cups and bottom cups. The cups are welded at every 500mm intervals.
The quantity of the cups for each size of the standards is in the following table.
| Cuplock Standard Size | Cups Quantity |
| 0.5m Standard | 1 |
| 1.0m Standard | 2 |
| 1.5m Standard | 3 |
| 2.0m Standard | 4 |
| 2.5m Standard | 5 |
| 3.0m Standard | 6 |
| 3.5m Standard | 7 |
| 4.0m Standard | 8 |
- Cuplock ledges are welded with two ledger blades at two ends of the scaffold horizontal tubes. The ledger blades are inserted into the bottom cups of the cuplock standards, which are welded and fixed on the cuplock standards.
The ledger blades will be covered by the top cup of each node after being inserted into the bottom cup. The top cups are slidable and can be rotated to cover the ledger blades in position. One set of bottom and top cups can fix four ledger blades at the same time. So the cuplock scaffold allows 4 directions of cuplock ledger connection at each node.
- Cuplock scaffolding diagonal braces node locking devices can be three different types: half swivel clamps, swivel blades snap on locks.
The brace locking devices are fixed at both ends of the brace tubes by strong rivets. They are connected to the standard cups or fixed to standard main tubes.
- Cuplock steel planks with hooks. They can easily move from one level to another level without tightening and loosing the board clamps.
While if using cuplock hop-up transoms and hop-up brackets in construction, steel or timber plank without hooks (with plain ends) can be easily arranged between different platform levels.
