Steel Unit Beams for Scaffolding

Steel unit beams are scaffolding bridging beams designed with top and bottom chords, four end plates with holes, and two spigots. There are several vertical and diagonal brace supports between the top and bottom. This design helps the steel unit beams be positioned and assembled easily and take heavy loads over long distances.

The steel unit beams help create a big opening in scaffolding construction and bear heavy loads, providing safety access between two scaffold structures for vehicles, materials, and personnel passing at the construction site.

Steel Unit Beams VS Ladder Beams

Both unit beams and ladder beams are scaffolding bridging beams in construction. But ladder beams and unit beams are two different types of scaffold steel beams for four reasons:

  • Steel unit beams are made of 4.0 mm-thick scaffold tubes, and ladder beams can be 3.2mm or 4.0mm thick.
  • Steel unit beams have vertical and diagonal braces between the top and bottom chords; ladder beams have only vertical support.
  • Steel unit beams are designed with four end plates with holes and two spigots; ladder beam ends are opened without the plates and spigots.
  • Steel unit beams are commonly 6′ to 12′ long, while steel ladder beams are more commonly 5′ to 21′ long.
