Catari US®

MULTIPURPOSE BY DESIGN

The shape of the rosette openings allows nearly any angle.

COST-EFFECTIVE

80% of the components can be reused between applications.

Catari US^®

Catari US^® is a multidirectional scaffold based on the ring-lock design.
Its versatility and load-bearing capacity makes it suitable even for the most complex and demanding scaffold constructions, such as heavy duty industrial and civil engineering applications.

Disks welded each 50cm

Standards

From 0,5m up to 3m

8 different sizes

Ledgers

From 0,42m up to 3,07m

Flooring and access

Decks

Steel decks and aluminium access decks

UNDERSTANDING THE ROSETTE

Welded to the standards every 50 cm, rosettes contain shaped openings to fix up to eight other components through wedge-clamped heads. These heads exist at the extremity of the system’s components and fit exactly round, assuring solid joints with high load-bearing capacity.

ASSEMBLY WORKFLOW

To extend the scaffold to the required length and width, add to the existing bay as many base jacks as needed.

For additional levels, stack new standards on the spigots of the existing ones. Ledgers, decks and toe boards are then used to create a safe working area.

FURTHER EXPLORING

To explore multiple other configurations in size and shape, main components have several dimensions and varying purposes. In turn, combining accessories will always work to achieve an optimized scaffolding design, taking full advantage of the versatility of the system.

ONE SCAFFOLD, MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS

Since the main components of every scaffold configuration are the same, Catari US^® follows just one logical assembly sequence regardless of the application. As a result, any basic assembly can be achieved just repeating few steps.

Circular lineups

The combined use of angular ledgers and angular steel decks allows to adjust the scaffold configuration to tanks and silos.

Customised layout grid

Intermediate ledgers, deck to deck, tube to tube and tube to deck, or ledger to ledger couplers can be used to create tailored spans, thus ensuring the scaffold fits the available space and avoids existing infrastructure constraints.

Stairways

When on-site temporary access is required, scaffold stair towers can quickly and safely be assembled using the standard components of Catari US^® and pre-assembled aluminium stairway elements.

Suspended scaffold

Catari US® portfolio features highly resistant beams and a wide set of accessories that ease the assembly of slung scaffolds while ensuring the scaffolders and end-users safety.

Crane liftable

The high load-bearing joints of Catari US^® guarantee it can quickly be repositioned by crane.

U-type

Ledgers, bridging ledgers, lattice beams and console brackets are also available in the U-type version, compatible with the steel decks of Catari FA-48^®

Mobile scaffold

For sequential works, fasten the adaptor for castor wheels and convert a standard configuration into a mobile scaffold. The twin breaks assure the safety of the structure while parked.

Lattice beams

Increase the scaffold load bearing capacity in cantilever and suspended structures. Available in incremental lengths and different heights, in steel and also in aluminium for an optimised handling.

Swing doors

Accessing safely in and out the scaffold can be achieved with the use of Catari US® self-gathering swing doors with integrated toe board.

Working in confined spaces

Pole ladders and access deck for manhole can be used to overcome the space constraints in industrial sites.

All-round safety

The possibility of fixing the harness to the rosettes improves safety of the scaffolders during the assembly, whereas the possibility of adding guardrails every 50 cm and toe boards covering the full perimeter enhances safety for end-users.

Project design

Erecting a scaffold in multistorey buildings or in industrial contexts, such as tanks, silos, racks, etc., can be challenging due to the constraints of the site. To overcome these limitations, the engineering team of Catari develops tailor-made solutions using 3D modeling and scaffold structural analysis software, which lead to a detailed and optimised identification of commissioning quantities and an improved visualization of the final solution.
