Colombia’s infrastructure agenda—anchored by the Bogotá Metro Line 1 & Line 2, RegioTram de Occidente, and the extensive Fourth and Fifth Generation (4G/5G) concession road networks—requires millions of high-tensile scaffolding clamps (abrazaderas y acopladores para andamios) to support high-pier bridge falsework, tunnel linings, and elevated viaducts.
The strategic coastal hubs of Buenaventura on the Pacific and Cartagena and Barranquilla on the Atlantic are undergoing continuous terminal expansions. The harsh marine saline atmospheres demand hot-dip galvanized scaffolding clamps with high zinc coatings (≥55μm) to prevent corrosive degradation during heavy marine maintenance.
The industrial turnarounds at the Reficar refinery in Cartagena, Ecopetrol's Barrancabermeja complex, and renewable solar/hydro developments in Antioquia and Huila necessitate certified BS1139/EN74 Class A & B forged clamps capable of sustaining extreme mechanical loads in hazardous industrial operating zones.
In Colombia, construction occupational safety is strictly regulated under Resolución 4272 de 2021 (Reglamento de Seguridad para Protección Contra Caídas en Trabajo en Alturas) and technical standards overseen by ICONTEC (Instituto Colombiano de Normas Técnicas y Certificación). Scaffolding clamps act as the foundational locking nodes for tubular and modular systems.
Tianjin Jinke Construction manufactures drop-forged and pressed steel clamps with premium carbon steel Q235 and Q355. Each batch undergoes rigorous slip resistance testing, failure load analysis, and dimensional verification, ensuring seamless integration with standard 48.3mm scaffold tubes across residential, commercial, and heavy civil construction.

| Drop Forged Swivel Coupler (360°) | EN 74-1 Class A & B | Forged Structural Carbon Steel | HDG / Zinc Plated | ≥ 10.0 kN | Diagonal bracing on high-rise residential projects in Medellín and Cali |
| Pressed Sleeve Coupler (External) | EN 74-1 Class A | High-Strength Pressed Steel | Electro-Galvanized | ≥ 6.0 kN (Tension) | End-to-end tube jointing for external facade access and bricklaying systems |
| Beam / Girder Clamp (Gravlock) | BS 1139 Standard | Drop Forged Carbon Steel | Hot-Dip Galvanized | ≥ 30.0 kN / Pair | Suspending scaffold frames directly from structural I-beams in industrial warehouses and plants |
| Putlog Coupler (Single Clamp) | BS 1139 / EN 74 | Pressed Steel 4.0mm | Zinc Passivated | ≥ 0.63 kN | Fixing scaffold transoms to ledgers for holding timber and steel walk boards securely |
