Pan buckle scaffolding originated in Europe and has a history of 40 years to this day. In 1991, the China Template Scaffolding Association organized a delegation to Germany, Finland and other countries for inspection, and visited product exhibition rooms and production factories for button type scaffolding. This was the first contact between China and button type scaffolding. In the following years, domestic enterprises in Shanghai, Beijing, Jiangsu and other regions, based on the introduction of foreign technology, developed various types of buckle type scaffolding suitable for the domestic construction engineering practice system through introduction, innovation, integration and absorption. However, due to high prices, several representative companies in the early stage of discounting, such as Taiwan Solid, China Construction Huawei, and Shougu Template, withdrew from the industry for various reasons..

As a result, there are corresponding product inspection standards for the production and application of components in the construction site of the buckle type steel pipe scaffold, making it another mainstream new type of steel pipe scaffold in China, following the buckle type steel pipe scaffold, door type steel pipe scaffold, and bowl buckle type steel pipe scaffold..
The upright pole of the buckle scaffold is a circular plate with 8 holes welded every 0.5m on a certain length of steel pipe. The crossbar is a plug with pins welded on both ends of the steel pipe. During assembly, the plug is first clamped onto the circular plate, and then the wedge plate is inserted into the plug hole. Compared to traditional scaffolding, the advantages of this scaffolding can be summarized as follows:.
At present, the total market volume of various types of steel pipe scaffolding in China is over 100 million tons. Among them, the proportion of buckle type scaffolding is about 25%, second only to the proportion of buckle type scaffolding at 55%, and showing a trend of increasing year by year. As of February 2024, the national inventory of interlocking scaffolding is 28.7 million tons. The total production capacity of national buckle production enterprises is 17.5 million tons, with a production volume of about 4.7 million tons, accounting for only 27% of the total production capacity, and there is a serious overcapacity. There are over 1500 enterprises engaged in industry production, leasing, and upstream and downstream accessory manufacturing. The revenue from production, sales, leasing and contracting is 44 billion yuan. In terms of the demand for buckle type scaffolding, the market has reached saturation due to the limited number of construction projects. At present, the rental price including tax for most enterprises has dropped to 2.5-3 yuan/ton/day, and the sales price is around 5500 yuan/ton. From the current production growth rate, there is a significant slowdown..
As of February 2024, 75 provinces and cities have issued policies related to buckle type scaffolding. The promotion policy of buckles has evolved from the initial suggestion for the use of hazardous projects to today’s comprehensive promotion, mandatory use of major projects, restrictions on the use of other scaffolding, strengthened supervision, material sampling, entry reporting, etc., as well as recent notices on supplementary quotas for multi site buckled steel pipe support frames. The policy tools for buckles are becoming increasingly diverse. The promotion of discounting continues to expand from east to west, with dense policies in East China and abundant markets in South China. The Central China region follows suit, while the West gradually expands..
The first batch of buckle type scaffolding put into the market has been in use for over 15 years so far. In some coastal areas of southern China, early release of buckles to the market has begun to replace pins in bulk, and secondary galvanizing has begun in bulk. In some companies with a large turnover of used buckles over a certain period of time, the replacement of damaged buckles is becoming increasingly standardized and institutionalized. At the same time, with the improvement of the modern financial system, the scale of discount investment and financing is increasing day by day,.
