Quality inside and out

The MODEX scaffold enjoys its fine shape
and strength not only because of its inge-
niously conceived design but also due to
precision production and workmanship
including computer-controlled automatic
welding. All the parts are galvanized on
the inside as well as outside. This makes Shear force, vertically

Ease and convenience in use were particu-

larly important to us in developing the
MODEX system. Which is why all the struc-
tural parts are designed in such a way
that one worker can erect the system rapid-
ly and at every phase.

all the other parts such as planks, toe boards,
ladders, etc. may be combined since they
always fit, whether third-party products or
original Hnnebeck system parts from the
BOSTA 70 and 100 ranges. That makes handling
that much easier and is easier on your purse.
Here, too, MODEX is simply unbeatable.

standard planks, e.g. timber,
steel or aluminum planks with lift-off

can also be used.
Plank ledgers support standard
commercially available planks.

A look at the planks

If you use the practical self-
bracing BOSTA 70 or BOSTA 100
planks you need only the appro-
priate transom instead of the
tube ledger as a means of sup-
port. Transoms are available in
lengths of 0.82 and 1.13 m and
from 1.5 m to 3.0 m in incre-
ments of 50 cm. This makes it
all that easier to plan and calcu-
late your costs.

Industrial applications often use
