Introduction
M-Cuplock is a multipurpose system suitable for access
and support in all types of construction of building &
civil engineering projects; it is fully painted/galvanized.
M-Cuplock system is suitable for providing general
access and supporting vertical loads. It can be used to
create a huge range of access and support structures,
staircase towers, circular scaffolds, loading towers and
mobile towers. This manual has been designed to provide
comprehensive details of components and guidance on
the design and erection of M-Cuplock systems.

Scaffolding FIttings
Scaffold couplers are essentially the fundamental component that is used to assemble tube-and-coupler
scaffolding. This basic fitting is designed to join two scaffold tubes that can be used to create a diverse
range of scaffolding structures.

M-CUPLOCK SCAFFOLD is defined as any temporary elevated work platform and its supporting structure
(including points of anchorage) used for supporting employees or materials or both.
Note that there are three main points to the definition: it is elevated, it is temporary, and it supports either
personnel or materials or both.

M-Cuplock Early Striking application in case of using the Timber Shoes instead of Infill beams.
M-Cuplock Early Striking technique allow dismantling Infill, Decking beams and Plywood without
dismantling of standard which provide shoring for concreted slabs.

Maximum permissible loading on M-Cuplock Standard depends on the unbraced of standard (Lift distance) and the maximum bay size. The following graphs

M-Cuplock Early Striking application allow to remove formwork after 3 to 4 days of pouring a slab, but M-Cuplock supporting structure (M-Cuplock Standard) still
remains until the concrete is strong enough to support its own weight over its full span.
Concrete generally takes 28 days to attain its full strength. Most codes and standards will only permit the complete support to be removed after about 10 to 14
days, according to environment temperature and cube strength tests.
Traditional Falsework techniques need 10 to 14 days of pouring cycle but M-Cuplock Early Striking provide facility to reduce the cycle time.
Drop Head considered the main part to apply Early Stricking technique.
Drop Head allow to dismantling decking and Infill beams and supporting the slab with M-cuplock supporting structure.
Drop Head moved form up position to down position by striking Drop Head wedge by hammer hit; allows the beams to drop about 115mm only giving sufficient
clearance for the removal of Infills.

Technical Data
Blade ends of horizontal members (Ledgers) are located in the bottom cup.
The upper cup is then slid down over the top of the blades and is rotated
until it engages the locking pin.
Ledger Standard
The upper cup rotated by one hit of hammer to fit
The upper cup passed with locking pin, the fitting depend on the upper
from the locking pin M-cuplock spiral.
The upper cup is tightened by striking its lugs with a hammer. The inclined spiral upper edge of the upper
cup acts against a fixed locking on the standard to wedge the upper cup, tightening, around the blades;
providing a positive and rigid connection.
Ties tubes must be connected to Standards and be parallel to Transoms at a position adjacent to the
junction of the Transom and Ledgers, with the following restrictions:
A - Within 300mm from the underside of the cup at the junction - connected to the front Standard with
addition of a check Coupler.
B - Further than 300mm from underside of the cup at the junction - Tie connected to both front and rear
Standards.
C - If unable to connect to two Standards then reinforce front Standard for the full height of the lift with
Scaffold Tube and Swivel Couplers with Couplers attached at 900mm centers.
Note
The 300mm distance given in (a), (b) and (c) may need to be reduced, subject to the amount of tie force. Increased distance between tie points In cases where
ties cannot be placed in the correct position, where ties have to be removed, where tie spacing exceed those given in these assembly recommendations or in
scaffolds which extend above the building, with the result that typical tie spacing given in these assembly recommendations cannot be achieved.
