3 Thiel-Lock transom concept scaffold Artist impression Features of Thiel-Lock transom No need for ledger bracing, because of exceptionally rigid corner joint Fast erection; less tightening then conventional scaffolding No loose fittings Suitable for every form of building and height Guarantees a stable scaffold van Thiel United b.v.

4 Parts of Thiel-Lock transom concept All parts are available in solid galvanised steel Thiel-Lock transom concept combines flexibility, simplicity, strength and quick (dis)assembly. The multifunctional Thiel-Lock transom concept scaffold consists of 6 parts: The Thiel-Lock transom, provides a stiff scaffold without the need for ledger bracing Strong welded right-angle couplers connect uprights Right-angle couplers connect railings and horizontal ledgers at an angle of 90 Swivel couplers connect diagonals at a different angle Transoms + extenders make assembly of the Thiel-Lock concept scaffold easy because the standards are placed at the correct distance from each other Standards, approx mm centre to centre, connect the horizontal ledgers on the work floor with each other so that 5 scaffold planks can be laid alongside each other. Transom + extender is provided with a pull-out that enables the assembly of a maximum of 3 scaffold planks between the inside standard and the building. Additional: hop-up brackets with or without extenders. Because of the design the use of loose tubes and couplers other then provided isn t necessary. Van Thiel advises to use only original parts and if necessary tubes according to specifications in EN39 and class B couplers according to EN74. Thiel-Lock transom concept is designed for the construction of independent scaffolds and can also be used in industry, shipbuilding and the aircraft industry. It prefabricates a transom tube and 4 fittings to produce a rigid unit that speeds scaffold erection. In combination with Tube-Lock transom standards and ledgers it forms a quickly erected, 5 board wide system access scaffold. van Thiel United b.v. Page: 4 of 15

5 Legislation The products manufactured by van Thiel United satisfy the strict quality and production standards. The values described in this manual concern steel Thiel-Lock transom concept scaffold parts. Regulations from the newest European legislation and standards govern the assembly of Thiel-Lock transom concept scaffolds. In connection with safety and legal liability we advise you to use only Thiel-Lock transom concept parts. Thiel-Lock transom concept scaffold parts can be combined with wooden scaffold parts that comply to the product certificate for wooden scaffold parts. Scaffolding in a form not described in this manual should be considered with the aid of statistical calculations. van Thiel United can take care of these calculations in consultation with you. Check all parts for damage before assembly. Damaged parts may not be used. An instructor is available for advice at your request. van Thiel United b.v. Page: 5 of 15

8 Erecting a Thiel-Lock transom concept scaffold The following diagrams show a typical sequence of erection. It should be noted that only one temporary tube is used, which can be left in the structure until it is time to dismantle. In some of the diagrams different activities are shown- the sequence is always A,B,C. 1. Placing base plates 2. Position first pair of standards A. Fix Thiel-Lock transom on both standards Assemble temporary tube Repeat A. Fix Thiel-Lock transom on standards B. Levelled Assemble the brace 3. Fix Thiel-Lock transom on standards 4. Repeat at the other side Fix ledgers below the Thiel-Lock transom Fix next Thiel-Lock transom on the ledgers and standards 5. Fix ledgers below Thiel-Lock transom 6. Fix next Thiel-Lock transom and standards on ledgers van Thiel United b.v. Page: 8 of 15

12 Handling equipment Stacking the equipment Transportation If handled by crane, always strap the equipment on 2 tube containers During transportation strap equipment on to the truck van Thiel United b.v. Page: 12 of 15

13 Storage of scaffold material The valid agreements for the storage of scaffold material are: Thiel-Lock transoms 60 pieces four posted pallet Scaffold tubes 57 pieces tube containers (sorted per length) Scaffold planks 50 pieces in piles (5 wide, 10 high) Right-angle coupler fixed wedge 250 pieces in bin Swivel coupler fixed wedge 250 pieces in bin System transom + extender 90 pieces four posted pallet Base plate 250 pieces in bin Tie tube 57 pieces tube container It frequently occurs that the bins are not full when taken away. Therefore check when taken away if there is packaging present. If not, order packaging when reporting removal. Constant check Foundation Load Ties - amount - pattern - quality van Thiel United b.v.
