The swivel coupler, also known as a swivel clamp, is an essential component of scaffolding systems. Its unique design enables connections between scaffolding steel tubes at any angle, providing exceptional flexibility and safety for complex structures and special-shaped projects.
Whether your project involves a large-scale construction site or a minor maintenance project, choosing the right scaffolding connector is crucial for ensuring safety and efficiency. Our Swivel Couplers are manufactured in strict accordance with EN74 and BS1139 international standards and are available in Pressed, Drop Forged, and Casting styles to meet your diverse application needs.

Swivel Coupler Types
Pressed Swivel Coupler
Stamped fasteners are made by cutting a steel sheet, heating it, and then stamping it into shape using a die.
Features:
- Lightweight: Compared to forged fasteners, stamped fasteners are lighter and easier to handle and install.
- Lower cost: The production process is highly automated, so the production cost is relatively low.
Drop Forged Swivel Coupler
Forged fasteners are formed by placing a heated steel billet into a die and repeatedly forging it with a high-pressure hammer or press. This process alters the internal structure of the steel, making its grains denser and more uniform.
Features:
- High Strength: The forging process eliminates internal pores and defects, giving the fasteners extremely high tensile strength and durability, capable of withstanding greater loads and impacts.
- High safety: Due to their excellent mechanical properties, forged fasteners are widely used in key load-bearing connection points, such as the connection between vertical poles and horizontal poles.
- Long life: Resists deformation and fatigue, resulting in a longer service life.
- Higher cost: The production process is relatively complicated, and the cost is also higher.
Casting Swivel Coupler
Cast fasteners are formed by pouring molten metal (usually ductile iron) into a mold and allowing it to cool and solidify.
Features:
- Flexible production: Fasteners with complex shapes can be manufactured.
- Brittleness risk: The internal structure of castings is not as tight as that of forgings, and they may contain tiny pores. They may be more fragile than forgings when subjected to high pressure or impact.
Application Scenario
Complex structure scaffolding: In projects such as bridges, tunnels, and overpasses that require diagonal bracing and curved structures, universal connectors are the key to achieving safety and stability.
Stage and performance construction: quickly build stage trusses, lighting stands, and background walls of various shapes, providing a high degree of freedom.
Temporary stands and bleachers: Provide stable and flexible temporary stands and spectator seating for large-scale events.Special projects: Suitable for any construction, maintenance, and decoration projects that require the flexible connection of steel pipes.
