1. The adjustment cylinders: the basis of stability
Adapt scaffolding to terrain:
The floor is never perfectly flat. This is where the adjustment cylinders, also called foot cylinders, intervene. Thanks to their endless screw, they allow adjusting the height of the uprights to compensate for the irregularities of the floor.
Result: the scaffolding remains stable and perfectly level, from the first step of assembly.
The right security reflex
A well-positioned actuator eliminates the risk of tilting. It is therefore a fundamental accessory for any secure scaffolding assembly.
2. The brake wheels: for mobile scaffolding
Mobility without compromise
If you use a rolling scaffold, wheels with brakes are essential. They allow the structure to be easily moved, while ensuring its blockage during work.
Smoother work

3. Baseboards: to prevent falling objects
A small accessory, a great effect
Les plinthes are attached to the base of the platforms. They prevent tools, screws and materials from slipping. On an active site, they protect workers on the ground.
A regulatory requirement
Some situations require the use of baseboards, especially in busy areas. Their absence can lead to a failure to comply with safety rules.
4. Adjustable necklace: the guarantee of a solid assembly
Connect the elements
Steerable collars allow the scaffolding tubes to be connected together. They ensure the rigidity of the structure and withstand mechanical stresses.
Fixed or articulated?
There are several models: single necklaces, double necklaces… The choice depends on the type of assembly and the expected load.
5. The access hatches with integrated scale
Secure access between levels
Floors with access hatches and integrated ladders facilitate climbing between levels. Unlike external ladders, they limit the risk of falling.
Compliance and comfort
They are designed to comply with safety standards while ensuring optimal comfort for the user. Less movement, less fatigue.
6. Anchor tube: a durable fixation
Hold scaffolding to frame
Anchors attach to the facade to prevent tipping. They are crucial for facade scaffolding or those exposed to the wind.
An often overlooked element
However, a well-positioned anchor significantly increases stability. It is an essential investment for any scaffolding in height.
Conclusion
Scaffolding mounting accessories are not mere complements. These are full-fledged tools that ensure your safety, optimize your efficiency and reduce errors.
Take time to choose them carefully, or better yet: trust an expert.
