Scaffold Planks: Steel vs Aluminum Walk Boards

A scaffold plank is the surface crews stand and work on, so its strength and grip matter as much as the frame below it. ACE SCAFFOLD supplies both steel and aluminum scaffold planks to suit different sites and loads.

Steel planks: tough and fire-safe

Steel planks are galvanized, dent-resistant and non-combustible, with a checkered anti-slip top and hooked ends that lock onto the ledgers. They are the default choice for heavy, long-term industrial access.

Aluminum planks: light and fast

Aluminum planks weigh far less for the same span, so one person can move and fit them quickly. They are ideal for events, fit-out and any job where speed and low weight beat maximum duty.

Compatible across systems

Both plank types fit ACE SCAFFOLD Ringlock, Cuplock, QES and Frame ledgers, with European-style and sand-blasted variants available. Every plank is load-rated and supplied with the right end hooks for a secure seat.
