Scaffolding Spanner

Scaffolding Spanner

A scaffolding spanner, also known as a scaffold wrench or scaffold ratchet, is a specialized tool used for assembling and disassembling scaffolding systems. It is designed to tighten or loosen scaffold couplers, which are the connectors that hold the scaffolding components together. Scaffold spanners typically have a long handle and a fixed or adjustable jaw at one end. The jaw is specifically shaped to fit the hexagonal or square heads of scaffold couplers. The spanner may also have a hole or hook on the handle end for attaching lanyards or ropes to prevent accidental drops. Scaffold spanners are typically made of durable materials like steel or aluminum to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty use. They are an essential tool for scaffold erectors, construction workers, and maintenance personnel working at heights. The use of a scaffold spanner ensures proper tightening of scaffold couplers, contributing to the stability and safety of the scaffolding structure.
