| 1. Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel Plank | Formed carbon steel with a zinc coating applied after fabrication; commonly supplied with end hooks or locking heads. | 210–300 mm | 1.0–3.0 m | Approximately 7–13 kg per metre, depending on profile and thickness. | General-purpose construction, industrial maintenance, and repeated outdoor use where high stiffness and impact resistance are required. | Confirm steel grade, coating thickness, weld quality, anti-lift details, dimensional tolerances, and test documentation to EN 12811-1 or the applicable national standard. | High corrosion inspection |
| 2. Perforated Anti-Slip Steel Plank | Galvanized or painted steel deck with regularly formed perforations for drainage and improved wet-weather traction. | 210–300 mm | 1.0–3.0 m | Approximately 6–12 kg per metre, depending on perforation pattern and reinforcement. | Rain-exposed sites, façade work, roofing, and locations where standing water or mud may reduce foot grip. | Check perforation edges, slip resistance, drainage performance, load test results, end-hook engagement, and whether the finish remains intact after forming. | Clean perforations |
| 3. Heavy-Duty Reinforced Steel Plank | High-strength formed steel with reinforced ribs, deeper sections, or thicker gauge construction; usually galvanized. | 250–300 mm | 1.0–2.5 m | Approximately 10–18 kg per metre. | Heavy masonry, industrial plant maintenance, material staging, and platforms subject to concentrated loads. | Verify the allowable uniformly distributed load, point-load capacity, maximum span, deflection limit, and compatibility with the scaffold system. | Inspect deformation |
| 4. Lightweight Aluminum Scaffold Plank | Structural aluminum alloy with formed ribs or an extruded profile; may include replaceable end hooks. | 200–300 mm | 1.0–3.0 m | Approximately 3–7 kg per metre, depending on profile and width. | Frequent handling, interior fit-out, painting, electrical work, and projects where low lifting weight is important. | Check alloy and temper, slip resistance, galvanic compatibility with steel supports, allowable deflection, end-fitting strength, and electrical-use restrictions. | Check dents and cracks |
| 5. Wide Metal Deck Plank | Galvanized steel or aluminum platform panel with a wider walking surface and reinforced underside. | 400–600 mm | 1.0–3.0 m | Approximately 10–22 kg per metre, depending on material and reinforcement. | Material handling areas, façade platforms, access decks, and work zones requiring greater standing room. | Confirm platform width, support spacing, allowable live load, deflection, wind exposure, guardrail compatibility, and secure anti-uplift connections. | Check support seating |
| 6. Narrow Access Steel Plank | Light-to-medium gauge galvanized steel plank designed for restricted-width scaffold bays and access routes. | 150–210 mm | 0.7–2.5 m | Approximately 5–10 kg per metre. | Compact façade zones, repair work, towers, access bridges, and areas with limited clearance. | Confirm that the walking width complies with local regulations, verify end-hook fit, and ensure the plank is not substituted for a wider working platform where wider access is required. | Check edge damage |
| 7. Locking or Trapdoor Metal Platform | Steel or aluminum platform incorporating a hinged access panel, locking mechanism, and anti-slip walking surface. | 450–600 mm overall platform width | 1.5–3.0 m | Approximately 15–30 kg per unit, depending on length and access-door design. | Repeated vertical access between scaffold levels where a separate ladder opening would reduce productivity or usable platform space. | Test the trapdoor lock, hinge durability, finger-clearance protection, flush fit, anti-slip surface, load rating, and compatibility with the access ladder. | Lubricate hinges |
