Abstract: A scaffolding element used in conjunction with an upright alignment member, such as a pole. The scaffolding element having at least one connector member at each end portion thereof. The opposing connector members are oriented transversely relative to one another, such that the connector members of adjacent scaffolding elements can interlock at right angles to one another, forming a structure of interlocking scaffolding elements. The connector members can be formed from a metal plate or can be a casting, for example.

Abstract: The scaffolding element is used in conjunction with an upright alignment member such as a pole. The scaffolding element is provided in the form of a rectangular frame, with a pair of connector members at each end. The connector members at the opposite ends of the frame are oriented transversely relative to one another, so that the connector members of adjacent members can interlock at right angle to one another, creating a structure of interlocking scaffolding elements. The connector members can be formed from metal plate or can be castings, for example, and the frame is constructed from square section metal tubing.
