Laminated Scaffold Boards, sometimes referred to as LVL Scaffold boards, are an alternative to the traditional solid timber scaffold board.
Master Plank® is an engineered wood product known as Kerto® and is designed specifically for use as a scaffold board. The unique manufacturing process disperses the inherent defects found in solid sawn timber. Natural characteristics such as knots and wane are randomised to maximise strength and minimise warping and potential splits.
All our laminated boards sold at George Roberts are kitemarked visibly with the relevant BSI third party accreditation and are fully compliant to BS 2482. These engineering boards have an identical physical specification and sizing as our BS2482 timber boards but are slightly lighter weighing approx. 1.32Kg/foot (4.33Kg/m) and are available to special order in lengths upwards from 4’ (1.2m).
Benefits of Laminated scaffold boards:
Individually proof-tested
Enhanced durability and safety (OSHA/ANSI/BS/EN)
Meets and exceeds industry standards including BS2482
Stamped/embossed as ‘scaffold plank’
Unrivalled structural rigidity, stability and strength
10% lighter than solid wood equivalent
63mm x 225mm system battens also available upon request
No metal end-banding is required
Proven to last at least twice as long as traditional equivalent
Suitable for petrochemical and gas industry applications
Excellent electrical insulation, anti-corrosive and chemical properties
