The galvanised finish resists corrosion, even in harsh weather, while the wraparound design ensures a snug fit that won’t budge during daily use. Plus, with options for pressed steel (budget-friendly for light duties) or drop-forged (extra strength for demanding jobs), you get flexibility without compromising quality. We’ve seen these in action on everything from residential renovations to large-scale commercial builds, proving their reliability time and again. Invest in fittings that keep your team productive and protected—because in scaffolding, trust starts with the basics.

Single Putlog Couplers shine in setups that require quick, secure platform assembly. They’re perfect for attaching 5-foot transoms to horizontal ledgers in standard scaffolds, keeping the scaffolding boards flat. On construction sites, scaffolders use them to erect independent scaffolds, access platforms, and birdcage scaffolds inside buildings. Renovators love them for home extensions, while event setups benefit from their lightweight profile for staging. In maintenance work, such as window cleaning or roofing inspections, these couplers ensure a level surface, which speeds up the job. Just remember, they’re tailored for support, not heavy lifting, so pair them with your full scaffold design for best results.
Safety isn’t optional in scaffolding; it’s the foundation of every project. Our single putlog couplers meet the rigorous BS1139-2.2 standard, ensuring they’re tested for slip resistance and structural integrity in non-structural roles. Always install them tightly to avoid any play, and never use them to bear significant loads; they’re meant to hold platforms steady, not support weights directly. We recommend that a certified scaffolder inspects your setup before use and that you always follow site-specific risk assessments. Galvanisation adds weatherproofing, but store them dry to maintain performance. For peace of mind, our fittings come from trusted UK manufacturers committed to quality because one loose connection can change everything.
Pressed steel is lighter and more affordable for everyday tasks, while drop-forged steel is hammer-forged for greater density and strength, ideal for tougher environments.
Yes, they’re designed for 48.3mm-diameter tubes, whether galvanised steel or aluminium—the most common sizes out there.
Simply wrap it around the tubes, align at 90 degrees, and tighten the nut with a spanner or impact wrench until secure. Takes seconds!
They’re not rated for direct loads; use them only for platform support. Consult an engineer for your scaffold’s overall capacity.
Yes, fully compliant with BS1139-2.2, so that you can trust them on regulated sites.
It depends on your design typically one per transom end. However it is recommended to get a professional to calculate for your setup.
Yep, “putlog clip” is just scaffolder slang for the same reliable 90-degree fitting.
