The base plates must have an adjusting shaft.The endurance strength and stiffness of the base plates, which can be adjusted vertically, must be strong enough to carry the heaviest load transferred from the scaffold to the floor.The base plates and the adjustable base plates shall comply with the standards of TS EN 12811-1.There are some requirements for scaffolding plates. The dimensions of the adjusting spindle, ie the slope difference between the axis of clamp of the base plate and the vertical axis of vertical pipes in the unloaded state, must not exceed 2.5 percent. The base plates vertically, must have an adjustment shaft placed in the cente in order to adjust vertically. The height of the base plates can be adjusted.
What is a Scaffolding Base Plate?īase plate is a term referring to a plate used to spread load transmitted by vertical pipes over a larger area. Base plate can be adjusted to the size and area of the scaffold. Steel base plates must comply with EN 74. There are some standards in the base plates. The area of the base plate must be at least 150 cm and its minimum width should be 120 mm. The base plate, also known as the base plate, are located between the scaffold parts, which can be adjusted vertically. The endurance strength and rigidity of these parts must be strong enough to carry the heaviest load transferred from the scaffold to the floor.
