Timber
 |
Best quality European Whitewood is selected for the manufacture of our scaffold boards. This is imported from top quality mills that can guarantee that all the timber is from sustainable forests, either to their national standards or the F.S.C. standards, conserving the earth's natural resources. All types of timber selected for use at Caspian meet the exacting standards laid out by the British Standards Institute in standard BS2482: 1981 "Specification for Timber Scaffold Boards". Production and quality of the scaffold boards is tightly controlled in-line with our Quality Assurance Accreditation certificate ISO9003. |

Nailed Plates

These toothed plates are affixed to the Scaffold boards to assist in the prevention of splitting down the length of the board therefore enhancing the life of them. These galvanised nail plates are applied under pressure to ensure that they do not extend above the face of the board. These can be affixed as required but only within 230mm of the board ends on BS2482 boards and 250mm on Grade 'A' boards. Commonly 4 plates are affixed per board up to 3.9m in length. |
End Bands

Caspian Scaffolding use the latest 'tooth type' end bands on the majority of their boards. These new end bands are of a similar design to a normal scaffplate with teeth at the centre and sides of the band. Once attached to the scaffold board, the band is extremely difficult to remove. The major advantages of using these types of end bands are:
