Kirtanlal Launches ScaffDeck, A Modular Suspended Access System

Kirtanlal Scaffolding & Formwork has announced the launch of ScaffDeck®, a new modular suspended access system designed to improve safety and reduce labour time on projects.

The system is aimed for suspended access service in construction, infrastructure, and industrial and offshore maintenance, where traditional scaffolding may not be practical or efficient.

ScaffDeck is fully modular and can be lifted or lowered in sections of up to 100m2 using standard winches or chain blocks. It is built from Grade S700 high-strength steel and supported by Grade 100 marine-grade alloy chains.

The platform can support loadings from Class 1 (0.75kN/m²) to Class 4 (3.0kN/m²), with an unsupported 2.5-metre cantilever capable of carrying a Class 3 (2.0kN/m²) load. A 5.0m x 5.0m suspension grid reduces the number of anchor points required.

The system is erected from a fully boarded platform, minimising the need for operatives to work over open edges. Kirtanlal says this design reduces exposure to working at height by up to 90%. Platform surfaces are available in anti-slip composite or fire-resistant steel decking, supported by a sealed handrail and toe board system.

ScaffDeck uses up to 75% fewer components than traditional hanging scaffolds and around 15% fewer than other modular alternatives, enabling faster assembly and easier transport. The decking boards are tested to R13 slip resistance to further improve safety and during working in wet conditions.

The system has been internally tested and third party certified by SGS and TÜV Rheinland, and is compliant with BS EN1090, DIN 4420-3, and other relevant industry standards.

Founded in Dubai in 2015, Kirtanlal Scaffolding & Formwork has become a key supplier of access and formwork solutions across the Middle East and India. As part of its international rollout, the company has partnered with Leach’s, which will act as the exclusive distributor for the UK, offering ScaffDeck for both purchase and rental.

The partnership brings together Kirtanlal’s product engineering with Leach’s established distribution network and expertise in the working-at-height sector. According to both companies, the collaboration will ensure contractors across the United Kingdom can access ScaffDeck with full product support and regional availability.

ScaffDeck will be available via two distribution routes:

  • In the Middle East and India, on a contract or rental basis directly through Kirtanlal Scaffolding & Formwork.
  • In the UK, ScaffDeck can be purchased or hired exclusively through Leach’s, Kirtanlal’s official distribution partner. Kirtanlal is in discussions with other regional distribution partners for rolling out ScaffDeck to further global markets.
