Scaffold Board Security
Security of scaffold boards is always a problem, John Brash offer exceptional
customer service for End Banding, Plating and Branding to ensure greater security
and longevity of your scaffold boards.
End Bands:
John Brash can supply personalised end bands, carrying your company name and/or
logo.
In addition to the standard end bands, John Brash can supply Modified Super Hoops. Known as "T-32HP" Bands, these offer the ultimate in end banding, with significant advantages in terms of safety, performance and cost. They give the best of both worlds – the best feature of the standard and fully tooth type bands.
Teeth give the best security at the end of the board, as nails regularly fall
out due to end grain giving poor withdrawal resistance. It has also been shown
that teeth offer improved performance
Nails or staples give the best performance for attachment along the edge. No
longer can the sides of the tooth type band be sprung away from the board under
the new standard.
The benefits of the fully tooth type "T-32 HP" Super Hoops are:
- Secure fastening to the board edge - no more dangerous loose sides
- Reduced maintenance costs - the bands remain attached to the boards
- No more nails falling out at the ends
- Increased security - the bands are very difficult to remove and, if named, deter theft.
- Faster turn-around - less time spent on refurbishment in your yard.
- No flapping ends of bands - where they have not been fully secured to the board.
Plating:
Scaff plates are ideal for scaffold board repairs, although they are often used on new boards to enhance their life. These nail plates are machine driven into the board, helping to prevent new splits and containing existing ones. They can also carry identification details.
Branding:
For additional security your company name can be branded (up to 9 characters) - usually twice on each side for a 3.9m board - to provide permanent proof of ownership.
