Shandong Xingrui Secures Scaffold Patent for Enhanced Safety

Recently, Shandong Xingrui Building Materials Co., Ltd. was officially granted a utility model patent for “A Scaffold with Improved Stability” by the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), with Patent Publication No. CN223867602U. The patent addresses the industry challenge of insufficient support in the middle section of traditional scaffold boards through structural optimization, further improving the overall stability of scaffolding and reducing safety risks caused by scaffold board deformation during construction.
Scaffolding is an important temporary support facility widely used on construction sites. In conventional scaffolding structures, scaffold boards are generally secured to the horizontal members of the scaffold frame only through fasteners at the four corners, leaving the middle section unsupported. Under the loads generated by workers walking on the boards and construction materials being placed on them, the middle of the scaffold board is prone to downward bending and deformation. Repeated loading over time may result in cracking, sagging, or even collapse, creating potential safety hazards.
The newly granted utility model patent introduces an adjustable bottom support assembly. The assembly consists of a threaded sleeve, threaded rod, and support block, and is positioned at the center of the underside of the scaffold board. During installation, workers can rotate the threaded sleeve to drive the threaded rod upward or downward, allowing the support block to firmly support the center of the scaffold board from below. This provides vertical support at the midpoint and effectively reduces downward deflection of the board. The entire mechanism is easy to install and remove and can be directly adapted to commonly used scaffolding systems without modifying the existing frame structure, achieving a balance between installation efficiency and structural safety.
The inventors of the patent are Han Ruiping, Liang Yonggang, Wang Qingyu, and Zheng Zeming, while the patent owner is Shandong Xingrui Building Materials Co., Ltd. Located in the Rifa Industrial Base, Yuli Town, Wulian County, Rizhao City, the company was established in 2007 and is a High-Tech Enterprise and Specialized, Specialized, and New SME engaged in the R&D, manufacturing, import, and export of construction scaffolding, construction couplers, formwork, and precision cast steel components.
The company currently has 20 employees and holds multiple patents and software copyrights related to scaffolding and formwork. Its products serve both domestic construction projects and overseas markets. The successful granting of this patent reflects the company's continued technological innovation in the field of construction metal support equipment. Moving forward, the company will continue to focus on product innovation and the practical application of technological achievements, providing safer and more reliable supporting products for the construction industry.
