Cuplock scaffolding and shoring: 60 mm standards with a cup joint every 500 mm, ledgers with forged blades, base jacks and U-head jacks. One hammer blow locks up to 4 ledgers at a joint.
Cup spacing, standard and ledger lengths and jack lengths can all be changed. The model shows 2 bays of 1.5 m by 1.5 m: one decked for access, one shoring a pair of lattice beams on U-head jacks.
