Cuplok, or Scaf-lok, is a galvanised system that uses a “cup” and “blade” type to lock the various ledgers and standards together.

 

Kwikstage is the most commonly used system. The main difference to a Scaf-lok is that it comes painted in yellow and uses a “wedge” and “V-pressing” to locate and lock all components together.
