QualiScaffold 2004 Medium Duty Scaffold Tester is a specific kit allowing Scaffolders to test all common scaffold anchors and fixings in general use today.
The NASC/CFA Guidance Note TG4:11* Anchorage Systems for Scaffolding sets out requirements for PRELIMINARY TESTS of scaffold anchors (to check the suitability and allowable loads of an anchor type in a particular base material) and PROOF TESTS (sample tests to check that anchors have been installed correctly – to be carried out on all jobs).
This will enable Scaffolders to satisfy the HSE SCAFFOLDING PROTOCOL pre-start checklist.
The new Proof Load testing requirement is for a tensile test of 1.5 x the design load. For heavy duty ties with a capacity of 12.2kN this means a test load of 18.3kN. TG4:11 also describe six types of anchor most commonly used for anchoring scaffold ties. QualiScaffold 2004 will test all types to a maximum tensile load of 20kN. It is our premier eye bolt tester.
Please notice each structural anchorage, after installation, should be submitted to an axial pull-out force of 6kN to confirm the soundness of the fixing. A quality hard wearing carry case is supplied with each kit. The tester is preassembled and accessories can all be quickly attached with ease depending on the type of fixing being tested.
