EK Scaffolding, as scaffold coupler in China, has advanced production equipment for forged couplers and pressed couplers, All forged scaffolding coulpers use high-frequency electric furnace to heat different specifications of structural steel to 950-1050 austenite state, after 4000KN one-time forging can improver its organizational structure and mechanical properties, thereby improving the plasticity and mechanical properties of the product.
Here is brochure of EK scaffolding coupler products. You can see casting and special shaped coupler, pressed coupler, sleeve scaffold coupler and other realeted scaffold products from this brochure.
