Pressed or drop-forged clamp that holds timber toe boards and working platforms onto scaffold ledgers.
The board retaining coupler traps a timber board against the ledger so toe boards and platform boards cannot slide or lift. MerForge supplies it in two versions from the same line: pressed 2.5 mm sheet steel for cost-effective fleet volume, and a drop-forged body with a thick folded jaw for rough site handling and many hire cycles. Both share the same M12 hand-tightened fixing and the same slim profile that keeps walkways clear.
Pressed 2.5 mm sheet steel for a low unit cost, or a die-forged carbon steel body for heavy-duty, long-life service. State the version you need when ordering.
A folded lip grips the timber board edge so the board cannot slide out or lift under foot traffic.
One M12 bolt with a wing nut tightens by hand for board fixing; a hex nut is available where higher, repeatable torque is needed.
The thin body keeps walkways clear and cuts transport cost, while bulk storage and pallet loading stay simple.
Electro-zinc plated as standard, with hot-dip galvanizing or painting for coastal and long-life sites.
Dimensions follow EN 74 / BS 1139 series. Custom sizes produced to drawing.
