Patent Scaffolding ~ these are systems based on an independent
scaffold format in which the members are connected together using
an integral locking device instead of conventional clips and
couplers used with traditional tubular scaffolding. They have
the advantages of being easy to assemble and take down using
semi-skilled labour and should automatically comply with the
requirements set out in the Work at Height Regulations 2005.
Generally cross bracing is not required with these systems but
fac ̧ade bracing can be fitted if necessary. Although simple in
concept patent systems of scaffolding can lack the flexibility of
traditional tubular scaffolds in complex layout situations.
