Abstract: A vertical member of a modular scaffolding system includes a securing rosette provided in an upper section having a reduced diameter to provide a pre-determined modular connection. The vertical member includes an elongate intermediate section forming the majority of the vertical member of a first diameter greater than the reduced diameter. The intermediate section at a lower edge includes an integral spigot of the reduced diameter. A reinforcing sleeve is fixedly secured to the upper section above the rosette and forms a spigot receiving socket. The vertical member has higher capacity due to the larger diameter intermediate section while maintaining modularity of the scaffolding system.
Abstract: A cup lock connection system for scaffold equipment advantageously has a locating arrangement for aligning ledgers, braces and other components on the cup lock at predetermined angular positions relative to the scaffold upright. The connecting ledgers, braces and other components preferably have a connecting head receivable on the cup lock connection in one of two orientations. In one orientation the aligning feature is active. In the second orientation the connection can be made without using the alignment functionality.

Abstract: A scaffold plank and toeboard system provides a fully integrated system where toeboards are easily securable to provide perimeter protection about different working platform configurations. The scaffold advantageously includes a series of securing ports that allow male connectors of the system toeboards, or male connectors of generic toeboard securing brackets to be appropriately placed for maintaining wooden, metal or other toeboard material that is basically fabricated onsite according to the material available. The scaffold securing plank also cooperates with other equipment, guard rails, plank support intermediary ledgers etc. to use the securing ports to simplify installation and securement thereof.
