What is the Cold-Formed system in aluminium scaffolding?
At Alufase, we manufacture our aluminium scaffolding using an innovative Cold-Formed, weld-free system.
This advanced technique creates structures up to 10 times stronger than traditional welded scaffolding, ensuring greater safety, durability, and reliability.
How does cold-forming work?
Cold-forming shapes aluminium by applying mechanical pressure without heat. This preserves the metal’s molecular structure and enhances its tensile strength and fatigue resistance.
Instead of joining pieces through welding (which weakens the material at the joints), the Cold-Formed system maintains the integrity of the aluminium throughout the scaffolding.
Advantages of Cold-Formed, weld-free scaffolding
10 times more structural strength
No welded joints mean no weak points that could fail over time.
Greater safety
The uniform structure better withstands vibrations and dynamic loads.
Extreme durability
More resistant to corrosion, impacts, and wear in demanding environments.
Lower maintenance
With no welds, there are no cracks or weak points to repair.Better long-term value
Its much longer lifespan reduces replacement costs.
