Side By Side Clamp
Engineered to international standards for safety, speed and durability on every job site.
Overview
The Side By Side Clamp is a drop-forged steel fitting for American frame-system scaffolding that grips two scaffold standards side by side in a single body, so a side bracket or second frame can be locked to the main frame. Also called a U clamp, C clamp or cheeseborough clamp, it weighs 0.9 kgs, is galvanized and ships FOB Shanghai from ACE SCAFFOLD.

Key Features
- Drop-forged steel side-by-side clamp (also called U clamp, C clamp, cheeseborough clamp)
- Grips two 48.3 mm scaffold tubes side by side in one forged body
- Bolt or T-bolt draws the jaws together to lock two standards parallel
- Mounts a scaffold side bracket on the main frame or ties two frames into one bay
- Drop forged steel body, galvanized finish
- 0.9 kgs, supplied FOB Shanghai from ACE SCAFFOLD
The Side By Side Clamp is the parallel tube clamp used on frame scaffold systems (masonry, walk-through and H-frame). Its forged jaws open wide enough to take two 48.3 mm scaffold tubes at once and the bolt draws them together so two standards sit side by side and lock to the frame as one. Mount a scaffold side bracket on the main frame, tie two frames into a rigid bay, or add a guard rail line without extra couplers. The drop-forged steel body carries the load across both tubes, and the galvanized finish resists corrosion on site and outdoors.
What a Side By Side Clamp Does
The Side By Side Clamp grips two scaffold standards side by side inside one forged body. Use it on frame scaffold systems to mount a side bracket on the main frame, connect two frames into a single bay, or add a parallel tube line for a handrail or loading platform.
How It Clamps Two Tubes
The clamp opens wide enough to take two 48.3 mm tubes at once. A bolt or T-bolt draws the jaws together so the two standards sit parallel and lock to the frame as one rigid member.
Built From Drop-Forged Steel
The clamp is drop forged for strength where two tubes meet and the scaffold load transfers into the frame. The forged body holds both tubes square under load.
Made for Frame Scaffold Systems
It is the standard parallel clamp for masonry, walk-through and H-frame scaffolding, used wherever a side bracket or second frame must lock to the main frame. ACE SCAFFOLD supplies it FOB Shanghai with OEM/ODM available.
Galvanized Finish
The clamp is galvanized to resist corrosion through repeated use outdoors and on site, protecting the jaws and bolt across many assemblies.
