Description
Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) scaffold planks are engineered wood products crafted by bonding multiple layers of thin wood veneers with waterproof adhesives. This construction method disperses natural defects, resulting in planks with consistent strength and stiffness, making them ideal for scaffolding applications.
Key features include:
- OSHA Compliance: Each plank is proof-tested to meet OSHA deflection limits, ensuring safety and reliability on construction sites.
- High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: LVL planks offer superior strength while remaining lightweight, facilitating easy handling and installation.
- Durability: The use of phenolic resin adhesives provides excellent resistance to moisture, weathering, and extreme temperatures, making these planks suitable for various environmental conditions.
- Standard Dimensions: Commonly available in sizes like 38mm x 225mm x 3900mm, providing ample width and thickness for secure footing and stability.
- Non-Slip Surface: Designed with a textured surface to reduce the risk of slips and falls, enhancing worker safety.
- Minimal Maintenance: Resistant to rotting, warping, and deterioration, ensuring a long-lasting product that maintains structural integrity over time.
Applications:
- Construction scaffolding platforms
- Temporary walkways
- Elevated work surfaces
Compliance and Standards:
- OSHA Standards: Meets the requirements set forth by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration for scaffold planks.
- ANSI A10.8-2001: Conforms to safety requirements for scaffolding.
- APA-EWS Certification: Planks are frequently tested for Modulus of Rupture and Modulus of Elasticity in accordance with APA-EWS standards.
