Van Thiel
In recent years Crossway have invested in the Van Thiel Concept. This encompasses the whole process of the loading and unloading of materials, and the speed of erection, adaption and dismantling. There is no requirement for servicing, as the Tubelok connectors and wedge fittings are service-free. Also Van Thiel equipment gives many health and safety advantages to the workforce. Materials are lighter weight and easier to assemble. With tube-lock and shorter lengths there is less strain on the scaffolder, and with joints crimped to the tube lengths there is less risk of a joint falling off and causing injury.
Van Thiel equipment has no protruding tubes, allowing tarpaulins and advertising banners to be more easily attached.
Van Thiel Extendable-transoms in conjunction with hop-up brackets can extend and adapt to the building's specifications - ideal for brickwork scaffolds, where adaptions are needed. Thiel-Lock transoms have been designed so that a scaffold no longer requires cross-bracing, with platforms completely clear.
