Provides face bracing on a CUPLOK® access

allow for easy location within the node joint. As
only one blade end can be located in each joint,
parallel bracing is employed rather than the ‘dog-
leg’ or ‘zig-zag’ method.

Omega Transom
Provides a firm location for the Omega battens. The specially
designed Omega section provides a very strong supporting
platform and prevents the battens from moving. Forged blade
ends locate into the cup joint of the vertical in the normal way.
Both the 1.8 and 2.5m Omega transoms can be used when
CUPLOK is erected to form a birdcage access scaffold using
timber or steel battens, or on mobile access towers in modular
sizes.
