Kwikstage Hop Up Bracket for 1, 2 and 3 Board Platform Extension

Kwikstage Hop Up Bracket Manufacturer for Inside Platform Extension

Kwikstage Hop Up Bracket for Wall-Side Access

A kwikstage hop up bracket is used when the main scaffold bay leaves a gap near the wall, façade, beam, tank, or pipe rack. On paper, that gap may look harmless. On site, it makes workers stretch too far, carry tools awkwardly, and lose time finishing work.

This bracket creates an extra inside platform on the wall side of the scaffold. It helps workers get closer to the actual working face without rebuilding the main scaffolding bay. That is why it belongs with real access planning, not just loose scaffolding parts stock.

One, Two and Three Board Platform Options

This range includes 1 board, 2 board, and 3 board types. The standard sizes are 0.28m, 0.53m, and 0.78m, with unit weights around 2.3kg, 6.3kg, and 11.1kg.

The 1 board type works for narrow wall access. The 2 board types give more standing space for tools and movement. The 3 board type suits wider working areas, but it also needs more care during setup because the cantilevered platform creates more turning force at the connection point.

For buyers, board capacity is not just a size label. It affects platform width, bracket weight, tie bar use, loading habit, and how comfortable the crew feels during repeated work.

Wedge Fixing into Kwikstage Standard V Pressing

This kwikstage hop up bracket connects by wedge fixing into the V pressing of the Kwikstage standard. Industry manuals describe board stage brackets / hop-ups as fitting into the V-press nearest the wall, which matches the installation position in your specification.

The wedge pin thickness is 6 mm, and the bracket can be made with 50×5 mm angle steel, T-section steel, or a customized steel profile. This detail matters because the bracket must support steel planks, scaffold battens, or timber boards without feeling soft under foot traffic.

A weak wedge fit can make the bracket look installed but feel wrong during use. A good bracket should lock cleanly, keep the platform line straight, and reduce unnecessary adjustment work for the scaffold crew.

Tie Bar Requirement, Finish, and Bulk Supply

For 2 board and 3 board brackets, tie bars are not just an optional accessory. Safe-use guidance says hop-up brackets should be linked together with tie bars before boards are installed, and WorkSafe Queensland notes that hop-up brackets, except single board brackets, should use tie bars unless the scaffold manufacturer specifies otherwise.

This product can be made from Q235 or Q345 steel. Surface finish options include painted, powder-coated, and hot-dip galvanized. For export orders, outdoor storage, and rental-yard use, a hot-dip galvanized finish is usually the safer choice because hop-up brackets sit near the working face and get handled often.

For complete scaffolding systems, these scaffolding brackets should be ordered together with Kwikstage scaffolding standards, ledgers, transoms, battens, tie bars, guardrails, and toe boards. The useful checks before production are simple: bracket size, steel profile, wedge design, weld quality, tie bar hole position, finish, marking, and packing.
