| CUPLOK SYSTEM |
| CUPLOK SCAFFOLDING SYSTEM |
SGB Cuplok is a registered trade mark of SGB No. 1028553 and is covered by worldwide patents.
Cuplok's unique locking action makes it the world's fastest, safest and most economic scaffolding system.
The Cuplok Fastening Method
The success of Cuplok lies in the 'node point' or fastening method. Four horizontals can be fastened at one time, making a very rigid connection. The horizontals bear directly on to the verticals and are firmly clamped by the action of the top cup.
There are no loose parts to misplace. The rigid node point allows for the high horizontal loads experienced with a 57kN leg load. Cuplok is made from the highest quality steel providing the benefit of high strength with low component weight and ease of handling.
Flexibility
When investing in equipment, it must be as versatile as possible, and SGB Cuplok is ideal for many applications: formwork support, general access, circular scaffolding, mobile towers, loading towers, tableforms and many other uses.
Cuplok is now widely used in industries as diverse as ship building, ship repair, refinery maintenance and general construction.
Cuplok is even specified as standard issue by N.A.T.O. armed forces for quick to erect temporary structures like water towers and observation posts. |

| Pressed Fittings |
-
A product of fine engineering skills, they are manufactured by a modern
rapid production system that ensures that they remain the most cost-effective
fitting available from the U.K. Yet large-scale manufacturing does not imply
a reduction in quality, as production line inspection maintains the highest
possible quality control to ensure that every fitting performs reliably on site.
-
The materials employed are principally alloy steels to BS 1449, and fittings
are fully tested to ensure compliance with the slip and distortion requirements
of BS 1139.
-
SGB Pressed Fittings are also treated to resist corrosion, having a complete
zinc coating with chromate passivation to BS 1706.
-
Quality is the keynote of SGB pressed fittings: our reputation rests on
every single component, which must perform safely and efficiently on site. Every
fitting carries our full guarantee of quality and reliability.
|
 |
|
| Drop Forged Fittings |
- SGB have been producing drop forged fittings for many years, and they have
proved to be highly popular in producing the important combination of strength
and robustness.
- Our double couplers in particular include the strongest fitting of its kind
available, and because of this, our products are specified for civil engineering
where the most reliable and robust products are required.
- All the fittings in our range meet the minimum requirements of the relevant
British Standards.
|
| Scaffold Boards |
- The requirement for scaffolding boards is covered by 2 options, standard
and laminated.
- The ordinary lumber board is a European whitewood board graded for quality
and supplied in standard sizes.
- The laminated scaffold board is a manufactured product which is performance
tested and approved to International regulations.
- The benefit of known structural properties and performance combined with
the 3 to 4 times greater life expectancy of the board make it the best choice
for long term investment.

| METRIFORM SYSTEM |
| METRIFORM PANEL SYSTEM |
|
SGB Metriform panels are steel framed with replaceable plywood infills and are
supplied in Full and Half width options.
For floor and wall construction, this simple and economic method prevents the
grout loss which is common with other systems and results in poor surface finishes.
The double sided resin coated plywood gives long life as both sides can be used
many more times than untreated plywood. The 70mm deep welded steel frame is of hot
rolled, high yield stress steel to resist damage and site abuse.

| MK II SYSTEM |
| MK II SOLDIER SYSTEM |
| New Profile |
The new profile of the MK II Soldier, with it's pattern of diamond shaped holes with stiffening ribs, is the result of an extensive computer analysis to determine the best balance between strength, stiffness, and weight.
Wide Range
With a comprehensive range of eight lengths of soldier and a choice of essential accessories, the contractor can find economical solutions to all his wall formwork problems.
Versatility
When the soldiers are combined with the SGB Du-Al aluminium waling beams, even greater economies can be made. The greater strength of the Du-Al walings allows soldier spacings and tie loads to be optimised.
To this can be added the benefits of long life, light weight, and fast assembly, all combining to give the most versatile system ever for wall formwork.
Used with large, high quality sheets of plywood, the SGB MK II Soldier system can satisfy even the most stringent concrete finish specifications whilst keeping deflection to acceptable limits even with the highest concrete pressures.
It can also be easily adapted for use as a high strength beam or shore with the use of the comprehensive range of MK-II accessories. |

|
|
| WALL FORMS |
|
The full 115 kN permissible load can be carried at any position along the soldier, and does not decrease with higher bending moments. |
| |
| DU-AL SYSTEM |
|
SGB has been at the forefront of the development of aluminium formwork systems in recent years.
The benefits of aluminium formwork products, compared with their steel and timber equivalents, have had a major impact on formwork practice. |
 |
|
The light weight of aluminium beams, which can weigh as little as one-third of their steel equivalent, opens the way to greatly increased site acceptance and productivity.
The corrosion resistance of aluminium ensures a long maintenance-free life, further extended by the fact that it cannot be easily cut up on site like timber beams. |
 |
|
The SGB Du-Al system comprises a range of 3 aluminium beams, all specially computed to give optimum strength with minimum weight.
Each beam has been designed to perform a specific function and, by combining them, the most economic solution can be provided to cover every application. |
 |
|
Other systems, where only a single beam section is available, result in compromises which will often adversely affect both the materials and labour costs. |

| GASS System |
| GASS Aluminium Shoring System |
|
GASS has been designed, developed and manufactured by SGB to meet the speed,
safety and economic demands of the modern construction industry.
GASS is the result of the extensive experience gained by SGB, working on many
of the largest and most demanding projects in the world.
This experience has made us the market leader in the field of aluminium shoring
and uniquely positioned to introduce this "next generation" shoring system.
Quite simply, GASS has been designed to be safer, stronger and more versatile
than any other previously available system - yet still offers competitive economic
advantages.
Not surprisingly, the development of GASS has been far from simple and already
has five international patents awarded to protect its innovative design.
The time savings offered by GASS and the systems strength and versatility now
allows the benefits of aluminium shoring to be applied to a much wider range of
construction applications.
The assembly of a GASS support only requires the use of 3 main individual components,
resulting in minimum component identification difficulties and ultimate adaptability
and configuration options for the user, while still allowing for leg loads of up
to 130 kN to be safely supported. |
| |
| LOGIK System |
| GASS Aluminium Shoring System |
|
On small to medium building sites concrete forms have to be installed individually
for every cast structure and handled with or without the assistance of a crane.
SGB have addressed this requirement with a new product range which is specifically
designed to cover both situations. The Logik modular panel system can be supplied
in two configurations, Logik 50 and Logik 60. The unique frame section and the user
friendly format of erecting and fixing will help you to achieve your projects production
and programme targets.
The Logic 50 system allows for the situation where crane handling of materials
is not possible. Specifically designed to be efficient and versatile but still maintaining
light weight with the maximum strength, the Logic 50 system is supplied in width
and height configurations which allow it to be applied to the varied dimensions
and intricate structures which can be experienced in domestic and commercial construction
projects.
The Logic 60 system also enjoys the high levels of efficiency and versatility
found in the Logic 50 system, but with the advantage of increased strength and larger
panel sizes. This system is suitable for installation by crane which allows it to
be stripped and re-used in large panel configurations, therefore achieving further
economies through the reduction of placing and stripping times.
A full range of accessories for each system ensure that the maximum number of
