In individual cases, the scaffolding system may be supplemented by steel tubes (tobe connected with couplers) as well as battens and planks. The load bearing capacity of these componentsmust be checked in each individual case.The RINGSCAFF modular scaffolding system may only be erected on grounds with sufficient load-bearing capacity.Load-distributing supports such as planks, sleepers or structural steel beams must be placed underneaththe scaffold to stabilize it on insufficiently solid ground.Levelling blocks are necessary when erecting scaffolds on sloping ground. It must be ensured that the baseplates or base jacks rest full-face on the ground to absorb the forces emanating from the scaffold on thehorizontal plane and transmit them to the ground beneath.2.3.3 Height adjustmentFor height adjustment, the base jacks can be extended to a maximum of 0.25 m in the standard designs describedin the following chapters. Extensions above 0.25 m must be verified by separate static analyses in eachindividual case.Scafom International BV · Phone +31 495 497204 · Fax +31 495 430676 · Mail info@scafom.com21
