ot all scaffolding is the same. Not a bland statement in any sense but a solid one based on the ingenuity of one go-ahead leader in the Italian industry, ready to break into the UK market. Why make such a claim? Well, how about a quality kit up to eight times faster to both assemble and disassemble? Smaller, lighter and easier to handle components, much cheaper to use and with the ability to facilitate better transportation in the modern world? Dedalo.Tech offers all of this to meet the needs of the most complex project to those of a simpler nature. In fact, Dedalo.Tech solutions like U-Fast X, a 25cm beam, is seen in the sector as a true revolution. A real resource of choice for suspended scaffolding on bridges and viaducts, allowing immediate savings of at least 50% in such installations.

across the industry. The company points out this is because functionality works hand in hand with reliability, in favour of safety and efficiency. It’s a unique product thanks to its compatibility in five possible standard configurations with all types of decks. It’s based on both U and tubular profiles, due to the offset joint. Through the accessories developed, the beams can be used with any frame or system scaffold. But there’s much more than meets the eye, as U-Fast even offers the traditional beam of 45cm that can save more than half of the scaffolding assembly time. The U-Fast beams are available in seven possible lengths, from one to six metres, and are made of aluminium (EN AW 6082 T6). Carrying lightness, versatility, great capacity and reversibility in one complete package means it’s suitable for the construction of suspended scaffolding where the weight factor is critical.
