Scaffolding is any structure or framework which is temporarily built intended to be used for the support or protection of workers engaged in construction work, for support of both people who are carrying out the work and materials that are being used to complete the work. It is usually made of materials including wooden planks, metal poles and others.

The standard scaffolding parts include long pipes or tubes that connect the mass of the scaffold to the ground. “Scaffold clamps, also known as cheese boroughs or pipe couplers, are commonly used in tube and clamp scaffolding applications and other applications where scaffold systems need to be anchored to fixed structures with scaffold beam clamps.”

Scaffolding clamps such as fixed clamps are essential components of a scaffold. They are usually used to join two metal tubes together to assemble a scaffold. Fixed clamps are specifically used for joining two metal tubes at a right angle.

Scaffold clamps, also known as cheese boroughs or pipe couplers, are commonly used in tube and clamp scaffolding applications and other applications where scaffold systems need to be anchored to fixed structures with scaffold beam clamps.

Whereas a swivel clamp is also known as swivel couplers are used to connect scaffold tubes at any angle. Its main purpose is to provide flexibility in the scaffolding and a beam clamp for connecting steel between structural beams so that there’s no need to weld or drill the steels together, a fixed clamp is used for connecting scaffold tubes at the right angle. This means a fixed clamp does not offer flexibility in terms of angles. For example, if a vertical tube will be connected to a horizontal tube or a diagonal, a fixed clamp cannot be used in this application.
