240mm Galvanized Steel Scaffolding Plank with Hooks

The 240mm Galvanized Steel Scaffolding Plank with Hooks (also known as a scaffold deck or catwalk) is a premium, heavy-duty walking platform engineered for modern construction safety. Designed to replace traditional wooden boards, this steel plank eliminates the risks of fire, rotting, and cracking, providing a reliable and durable working platform for scaffolders operating at dangerous heights.

Featuring a standard width of 240mm and robust welded hooks at both ends, this plank can be instantly and securely locked onto standard scaffolding tubes. The surface is meticulously punched with flanged holes to provide exceptional anti-slip performance and rapid water drainage. Manufactured from high-strength Q235 steel and finished with a highly protective galvanized coating, our steel planks deliver an extended service life for construction, shipbuilding, and industrial maintenance projects globally.

Key Advantages

Rapid Hook-On Assembly: The heavy-duty welded hooks allow workers to effortlessly snap the planks onto standard 48.3mm scaffolding ledgers or transoms. This fastener-free installation drastically reduces erection and dismantling time on busy job sites.
Superior Anti-Slip Safety: The surface of the deck features convex punched holes. This design bites into workers’ boots to prevent slipping, while also allowing rainwater, oil, and construction debris to fall through, ensuring a clean and safe walking surface.
High Load-Bearing Capacity: Despite its lightweight profile, the plank is reinforced with internal/bottom stiffening ribs (stiffeners). This box-profile construction prevents bending or sagging under the heavy weight of workers, tools, and building materials.
Fireproof & Highly Durable: Made entirely of galvanized steel, these planks are 100% non-combustible, meeting strict fire safety regulations for petrochemical plants and shipyards. The galvanized zinc coating prevents rust, offering a lifespan that vastly outlasts wooden scaffold boards.

Product Applications

System Scaffolding: Seamlessly integrates with Ringlock, Cuplock, and tubular scaffolding systems as the primary secure working platform.
Shipbuilding & Offshore: Ideal for marine environments and ship repairs where fireproof and anti-corrosion materials are mandatory.
Petrochemical & Oil Refineries: Meets the strict non-combustible safety regulations required in chemical and oil & gas facilities.
General Building Construction: A safe, reusable walkway for masonry, facade painting, plastering, and high-rise maintenance.

Packaging & Delivery

High-Density Bundle Packing: Steel planks are neatly stacked and tightly bundled using high-tensile steel straps (typically 50-100 pieces per bundle). This highly efficient packing prevents surface scratching and saves crucial warehouse space.
Maximum Container Optimization: Because of their uniform shape, our 240mm steel planks maximize the volumetric payload of a 20ft shipping container, significantly lowering your international freight cost per unit.
Fast Export Dispatch: Manufactured in Tianjin, China, we offer direct access to Xingang Port, guaranteeing fast loading times, smooth customs clearance, and reliable sailing schedules to Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What size scaffolding tube do the hooks fit?
A: The hooks on our 240mm steel planks are specifically designed with an inner diameter of approx. 50mm, ensuring a perfect, secure fit over universally standard 48.3mm (1.5″) outer diameter scaffolding tubes.

A: Steel planks provide a vastly superior Return on Investment (ROI). They do not rot, warp, or absorb water weight when it rains. More importantly, they are fireproof and provide a much higher, consistent load-bearing capacity, reducing liability and safety risks.

A: Yes. While standard lengths range from 1.0m to 4.0m, we can manufacture the planks to exact custom lengths based on the specific bay dimensions of your scaffolding system.

A: Absolutely. Our hooks are integrated using CO2 arc welding for deep penetration, ensuring the hooks can withstand immense shear force and will not detach from the main plank body under heavy loads.
