PDM/c modular scaffolding – imperial system is designed for use in industry, power plants, shipyards, refineries, mines, and similar facilities.
The system can also be used as façade scaffolding, support towers, point scaffolds, stair towers, spatial structures, stages and grandstands, support structures, protective scaffolding, temporary roofing systems, and more.
Most modular scaffolding systems available on the market that use imperial dimensions (with standard platform lengths of 2.57 m and 3.07 m) are compatible with our PDM/c system.
The Plettac Distribution PDM/c modular scaffolding system includes:
Each standard is equipped with steel rosettes (connection discs) spaced every 0.5 m, featuring 8 connection holes. Ledgers are connected at 90-degree angles, while braces are installed through the same rosettes. The connection of ledgers and braces is based on a wedge-lock mechanism. The wedge has been specially designed to prevent accidental disengagement (a retaining rivet is located at the top of the wedge).
Available bay lengths range from 0.73 m to 3.07 m. Standard bay widths include 0.73 m, 1.09 m, 1.57 m, 2.07 m, 2.57 m, and 3.07 m.
Assembly begins with the placement of adjustable base jacks (40, 60, or 80 cm). Starter components are installed on each base jack. Standards, horizontal ledgers, and diagonal braces are then assembled. To install platforms, standard horizontal ledgers must be replaced with U-ledgers designed for platform support.
Within a single system, various platform types can be used, mounted either on O-ledgers or U-ledgers.
The scaffolding system holds Safety Certificate B and certificates of conformity.
The imperial-version PDM/c system has been designed for specialized engineering applications. Thanks to the multidirectional capability of the rosette node, the modular scaffolding system is particularly suitable for structures with complex and irregular geometries.
As a scaffolding manufacturer, we optimize system components to withstand high static loads, ensuring structural stability even under demanding operating conditions.
The configuration depends directly on the structure's geometry, required platform load capacity, and project specifications.
For linear structures, modular scaffolding can be configured as a façade scaffold with bay widths adapted to the available working space. For tanks, steel structures, or industrial installations, the configuration is based on the flexible arrangement of standards and ledgers around obstacles.
When selecting modular scaffolding, it is essential to consider the type of platforms, vertical access solutions, and expected service loads in accordance with EN 12811 requirements. Where necessary, the structure can be supplemented with additional scaffolding accessories tailored to project-specific needs.
The operational safety of the PDM/c system is based on comprehensive certification and compliance with applicable European standards.
The offered modular scaffolding systems hold Safety Certificate B and certificates of conformity issued by the Łukasiewicz Research Network – Warsaw Institute of Technology. These certificates confirm compliance with EN 12810 and EN 12811 standards.
All modular scaffolding components are protected by hot-dip galvanizing in accordance with PN-EN ISO 1461. Additionally, the wedge-lock connection system includes protection against accidental disengagement, enhancing safety during construction and industrial operations.
The PDM/c system has been designed for flexible expansion. Thanks to rosettes positioned every 0.5 m, the modular scaffolding can be extended both vertically and horizontally and equipped with additional access routes and special structures.
A key advantage of the system is its compatibility with most imperial-dimension modular scaffolding systems available on the market. This enables users to easily expand their existing inventory with additional system components.
Such a solution ensures full structural functionality and allows modular scaffolding to be efficiently reused in future projects.
