KUP'A is a birdcage type scaffolding for medium duty scaffolding and shoring requirements. Captive rotating cups secure the transoms and ledgers i.e. up to four components per node- firmly by hammering. Vertical connections are made by means of spigots i.e. fixed spigots in access scaffolding, removable ones in shoring applications-incorporating provisions for locking pins if required. System would also provide a firm basis for applications such as Drop-Head Shoring System, Access Platforms, Ladder Towers, Mobile Platforms, and Spectator Tribunes etc.
