MESA-LOCK is a versatile scaffolding system that can be used as a work scaffold or slab formwork in all types of construction projects. All components of the system are hot dip galvanized, and it is widely preferred due to its fast assembly advantage. The core feature of the MESA-LOCK Slab Formwork System is its point-locking method. With this feature, four horizontal components can be locked to a vertical component simultaneously with a single hammer strike, without the need for any bolts, nuts or wedges. The locking point consists of two components referred to as “cups”. The lower cup is welded to the vertical component at 50 cm intervals. The upper cup is placed over the vertical component in a sliding position. For assembly, the horizontal components are first inserted freely but securely into the lower cup using forged parts called “claws” located at both ends. Then, the upper cup is slid down and secured with a single hammer strike, completing the locking point. In this way, a strong and safe connection is achieved in a short amount of time. This unique locking method offers faster and simpler on-site assembly compared to all other scaffolding systems. The speed achieved during scaffolding assembly and disassembly results in time and labor savings, which in turn significantly reduces overall project costs. Another key advantage of the MESALOCK Slab Formwork System over other systems is its flexible and multi-purpose use. It is an ideal system for a wide range of applications such as work scaffolding, stair towers, mobile platforms, formwork scaffolding, and even table formwork systems.
Thanks to its flexible structure, the MESA-LOCK Slab Formwork System can be assembled in straight, curved, or circular configurations. When used as formwork scaffolding, it offers a wide range of span and height options suitable for different slab types and thicknesses. The design and production of the MESA-LOCK Slab Formwork System are carried out in accordance with British Standards (BS).
The system is manufactured from high-quality steel and provides long-lasting protection with a hot-dip galvanized coating. All horizontal and vertical tubes have a diameter of 48.3 mm and a wall thickness of 3.25 mm. The high material quality and hot-dip galvanized coating ensure protection against rust and wear. As a result, MESA-LOCK stands out as a long-lasting, durable scaffolding system with minimal maintenance requirements. Additionally, its modular and simple design allows for easy use, transportation, and storage with minimal space needed.
Thanks to the point-locking method and high material quality, this system offers both an exceptionally high load-bearing capacity and is lighter compared to other scaffolding systems. Depending on the connection type of the horizontal elements, the load-bearing capacity of each leg can reach a maximum of 6.15 tons. In addition to ease of application, the simplicity of the components that make up the system is also one of its key advantages. Simple horizontal and vertical elements, along with lower and upper adjustment pins, form the foundation of the scaffolding system for many structures. Moreover, with a limited number of special components, smart work scaffold solutions can be provided for even the most complex structures.
