When erecting a scaffold, you can't build a safe structure without a solid foundation. That is where the baseplate comes in.
To evenly distribute immense vertical loads to the ground or sole boards, preventing the scaffold from sinking or tipping.

But are you using the correct sizes? Here is what standard safety guidelines require:

Standard Dimensions:
The minimum standard size for a non-adjustable baseplate is 150mm x 150mm (6" x 6").

Thickness Matters (The Load Capacity Factor):
The thickness of your baseplate directly dictates how much weight it can safely bear and how high your scaffold can go.

⚠️ Safety Reminder: Always inspect your baseplates for rust, warping, or cracks before every shift.
