Usage
These recommendations are not intended as a design guide for scaffolding structures for which reference should be made to BS 5973 and BS 5975 - nor do they consider the effect of the connected structural sections for which reference should be made to BS 5950 and Eurocode 3. 1. Gravlock Couplers are designed to connect BS1139 scaffold tube to all types of structural sections (other than hollow sections) having a maximum flange of thickness 45mm. 2. Gravlock Couplers must always be used in pairs and additionally must be clamped on opposing sides of the structural sections 3. The following maximum safe working load is calculated from a series of tests carried out both internally and by independent external testing organisations. The safety factors employed are in excess of those recommended by BS 5973: 1993, clause 39:8:2 (i.e. 2 to 1). 4. Safe Working Load in all directions: 600Kg
