Apollo Cradles Warns of Further Issues with Knock-off X-Beams

Apollo Cradles Limited has issued a fresh warning to the scaffolding industry regarding the continued presence of counterfeit X-Beams circulating in the market.

In a recent LinkedIn post, Mark Holmes, Manager of Apollo Scaffold Services, shared a letter highlighting the dangers that arise when companies purchase and use imitation X-Beams.

According to Apollo, the offending X-Beams were purchased from a company that either manufactured or imported copies of their patented product. Apollo holds the intellectual property rights for X-Beams and remains the only authorised producer and distributor, whether through direct sales or their official dealer network.

Holmes expressed deep concern about the ongoing problem, reminding the industry of the serious risks posed by these knock-off beams, which have previously been found to fail critical safety standards. “If you suspect you have any copy X-Beams,” Holmes urges, “please contact us immediately.”

Apollo’s latest correspondence is part of a broader effort to enforce their intellectual property rights and ensure that any counterfeit products are removed from the market.

The company has been issuing cease-and-desist letters to offending suppliers and manufacturers, warning of potential legal action if the situation is not resolved.

The consequences of using these substandard X-Beams could be catastrophic, both in terms of safety and liability for businesses.

Structural testing has already revealed significant flaws in counterfeit beams, raising concerns about their ability to hold up under real-world conditions on job sites.

As Holmes pointed out, it’s a question of legality and safety. The industry must remain vigilant to prevent these dangerous products from entering scaffolding systems across the country.

Apollo has provided contact details for those who suspect they may have purchased these imitation beams and is actively encouraging companies to come forward with information about the suppliers involved.
