How to distinguish between disc-buckle scaffoldings and wheel-buckle scaffoldings

Pan-buckle scaffolding and wheel-buckle scaffolding both belong to the domestic socket-type scaffolding family. They look similar on the surface. Friends who have not used pan-buckle scaffolding and wheel-buckle scaffolding may easily confuse the two types of scaffolding, but they do not know that they exist. Big difference!

What is the difference between wheel-buckle scaffolding and disc-buckle scaffolding? Why is the disc-buckle scaffolding gradually replacing the wheel-buckle scaffolding? Let’s take a look at the difference between wheel buckle and plate buckle scaffolding.

Disk type scaffolding
The vertical poles of the disc-buckle scaffolding are connected by sleeves and sockets, and the horizontal poles and inclined poles are snapped into the connection plate using rod-end buckle joints and connected with wedge-shaped pins to form a steel pipe support with an invariant structural geometry system. The buckle-type scaffolding support is composed of vertical poles, horizontal poles, inclined poles, adjustable bases, adjustable brackets, and other components. According to its use, it can be divided into two categories: formwork brackets and scaffolding.

Wheel buckle scaffolding
The vertical poles of wheel-buckle scaffolding are connected by sleeve sockets. The horizontal poles are connected by welding wedge-shaped straight plugs at the pole ends and inserted into the vertical pole connection plates. The horizontal poles and vertical scissor braces are fixed with fastener-type steel pipes and vertical poles or horizontal poles, forming a Template stand. The wheel-buckle scaffolding is based on the fastener-type scaffolding, changing the connection method of vertical and horizontal poles and vertical poles to a self-locking form of roulette and latch.

Five differences between disc-buckle scaffolding and wheel-buckle scaffolding

First, the sources of scaffolding are different
- Disk-type scaffolding: Disk-type scaffolding was introduced in European and American countries. It is the mainstream scaffolding connection method in the world and is an upgraded product of scaffolding.
- Wheel-buckle scaffolding: Wheel-buckle scaffolding is a scaffold with general performance and is a simplified product of the plate-buckle scaffolding.
The disc-type scaffolding is an advanced technology imported from abroad, while the wheel-type scaffolding is derived from China and is currently only officially recognized by a few regions.

Second, the appearance of scaffolding is different
- Pan-buckle scaffolding: The vertical pole accepts the face plate with 8 holes, 4 of which are equipped with diagonal braces, and the surface is hot-dip galvanized.
- Wheel-buckle scaffolding: The vertical pole accepts the face plate with 4 holes, no diagonal support holes, and the surface is painted.
The appearance of the disc-buckle scaffolding and the wheel-buckle type scaffolding are the same. The biggest difference between them is the position of the faceplate. The disc-buckle scaffolding has 8 holes, and the wheel-buckle type scaffolding has 4 holes. The second is the surface technology. The plate-buckle scaffolding is hot-dip galvanized, while the wheel-buckle scaffolding is painted. It needs to be renovated after a period of use, and the plate-buckle frame has a more beautiful appearance!

Third, the components of scaffolding are different
- Pan-buckle scaffolding: All components of the pan-buckle scaffolding are made of low-alloy structural steel (national standard Q345B).
- Wheel-buckle scaffolding: The components of wheel-buckle scaffolding are generally made of carbon steel (national standard Q235).
The material strength of the disc-type scaffolding is about 1.5 times that of the wheel-type scaffolding. All components adopt hot-dip galvanizing anti-corrosion technology, which has high strength and anti-corrosion and long service life.

Fourth, scaffolding is constructed in different ways
- Disk-type scaffolding: The node connection method adopts a plug-type connection method, with built-in diagonal braces and a perfect shape.
- Wheel-buckle scaffolding: The node connection method is a coaxial core socket, and the nodes are connected in the frame plane.
The design features of the buckle-type scaffolding are more advanced, allowing the force transmission of each rod to pass through the node center, making it safer to use!

Fifth, the scope of application of scaffolding is different
- Pan-buckle scaffolding: Due to its stabilization system, the pan-buckle scaffolding can be widely used in outdoor high formwork and high load-bearing structural support systems! It can be used on all occasions such as municipal bridges, water conservancy, electric power, and housing construction. Due to its high load-bearing performance, it is overkill for general indoor support frames.
- Wheel-buckle scaffolding: Wheel-buckle scaffolding is generally only suitable for low-rise indoor support formwork.
Wheel-buckle scaffolding is mostly used for indoor support in housing construction projects due to its structure. The plate-buckle scaffolding has an inclined rod, which has better stability and unlimited scope of application!
