Drop Head

Description

What to Know About Drop Head?

A drop head is a specialized scaffold fitting that allows for the secure attachment of secondary beams (infill beams) to the primary beams (deck beams) by creating a drop-down connection point. 

What are the uses of Drop Head?

Drop heads are used to connect ledgers (horizontal beams) to standards (vertical posts). These are gaming-changing components that allow for the early removal of decking beams without removing the post shore. 

What are the Benefits of Drop Head?

The drop head expedites the removal of formwork. These allow decking beams to be removed early without removing the post shore. This speeds up the pour and strip cycles, which reduces the amount of equipment needed on-site.

What scaffolding system does the Drop Head belong to?

The drop head is a component of the cuplock scaffolding system. It is designed to work with cuplock standards and adaptors. It’s used in concrete formwork construction to support and hold concrete slabs and beams.

What Materials are Used to Create Drop Head?

Drop heads are typically made from strong steel, with top and bottom base plates. The base plates have holes to connect with the socket base plates.
