MS Scaffolding Round Top Cup

A round mild steel (MS) top cup is a crucial component in scaffolding systems, specifically within the cuplock system, used in construction. It's a circular piece of mild steel designed to fit over the vertical standards (or poles) of scaffolding and secure horizontal ledgers. The top cup, along with a bottom cup, creates a strong and stable connection point for the scaffolding structure.

Material:
Made from mild steel, which offers a good balance of strength and ductility, allowing it to withstand the loads and stresses involved in scaffolding.
Shape:
Circular, with slots or grooves to accommodate and firmly hold the horizontal ledgers.
Function:
Secures the ledgers to the standards, providing a stable connection within the cuplock system.
Locking Mechanism:
The top cup rotates to lock the ledgers in place, enabling quick and secure assembly without the need for nuts and bolts.
Purpose:
Ensures proper alignment and support of the scaffolding structure, contributing to overall stability and safety during construction activities.
Common Use:
Widely utilized in various construction projects, especially for high-load applications and taller structures
