Abstract

The invention relates to a scaffolding system with at least one scaffold decking ( 30 ). The scaffold deckings ( 30 ) preferably have identical fittings ( 10 ) which are connected to decking profiles ( 32 ) of different heights, in particular in an identical manner. Particularly preferably, the scaffolding system has at least two scaffolding deckings ( 30 ), each having identical fittings ( 10 ) but decking profiles ( 32 ) with different maximum heights (H 32 ), wherein further preferably the length (L 32 ) of the decking profile ( 32 ) with lower maximum height (H 32 ) is shorter than for the decking profile with higher maximum height (H 32 ). In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the scaffolding system comprises at least three scaffold decks ( 30 ), each having identical fittings ( 10 ) but decking profiles ( 32 ) with different maximum heights (H 32 ), wherein further preferably the decking profiles ( 32 ) are of different lengths and have greater maximum heights (H 32 ) with increasing length (L 32 ).

       in that the maximum height (H 32 ) of the first decking profile ( 32 ) exceeds the maximum height (H 12 ) of the first fitting body ( 12 ). 
     
     
         2 . Scaffolding system according to  claim 1 , wherein the maximum height (H 32 ) of the first decking profile ( 32 ) is higher than the maximum height (H 12 ) of the first fitting body ( 12 ) by the factor max Kh=1.5 to 2.5. 
     
     
         3 . Scaffolding system according to  claim 1  or  2 , wherein the first fitting body ( 12 ) is formed of sheet metal. 
     
     
         4 . Scaffolding system of  claim 3 , wherein the first fitting body ( 12 ) has two corner regions ( 20   a,    20   b ) each having surfaces ( 22   a - 22   d ) bent at right angles on which the first decking profile ( 32 ) rests in sections. 
     
     
         5 . Scaffolding system according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the first fitting ( 10 ) comprises a bracket ( 18 ) movable relative to the fitting body ( 12 ) for engaging under the first horizontal bar. 
     
     
         6 . Scaffolding system according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the first decking profile ( 32 ) is attached to the first fitting body ( 12 ) with at least one welded joint ( 42   a - 42   e ). 
     
     
         7 . Scaffolding system according to any one of the preceding claims, in which the first decking profile ( 32 ) has a rounding (R) on its underside towards the first fitting ( 10 ). 
     
     
         8 . Scaffolding system according to any one of the preceding claims, comprising a second scaffolding decking ( 34 ), wherein the second scaffold decking ( 34 ) comprises:
 a) A second decking profile ( 36 ) for supporting a walkable second decking panel;   b) a second fitting ( 10 ′) for connecting the second scaffold decking to a second horizontal ledger, the second fitting ( 10 ′) having a one-piece second fitting body ( 12 ′) fixedly connected to the second decking profile ( 36 );   
       wherein the second fitting ( 10 ′) is formed in the same way as the first fitting ( 10 ) and the maximum height (H 36 ) of the second lining profile ( 36 ) is lower than the maximum height (H 32 ) of the first lining profile ( 32 ). 
     
     
         9 . Scaffolding system according to  claim 8 , wherein the maximum height (H 36 ) of the second decking profile ( 36 ) is higher than the maximum height (H 12 ) of the second fitting body ( 12 ′) by the factor max Kh=1.1 to 1.5. 
     
     
         10 . Scaffolding system of any one of  claims 7  to  9 , wherein the second decking profile ( 36 ) is shorter than the first decking profile ( 32 ). 
     
     
         11 . Scaffolding system according to any one of  claims 7  to  10 , comprising a third scaffold decking ( 38 ), wherein the third scaffold decking ( 38 ) comprises:
 (a) A third decking profile ( 40 ) for supporting a walkable third decking panel; 
 b) a third fitting ( 10 ″) for connecting the third scaffold decking ( 38 ) to a third horizontal ledger, the third fitting ( 10 ″) having a one-piece piece third fitting body ( 12 ″) fixedly connected to the third decking profile ( 40 ); 
 wherein the third fitting ( 10 ″) is formed the same as the second fitting ( 10 ″) and the maximum height (H 40 ) of the third lining profile ( 40 ) is lower than the maximum height (H 36 ) of the second lining profile ( 36 ). 
 
     
     
         12 . Scaffolding system according to  claim 11 , in which the maximum height (H 40 ) of the third decking profile ( 40 ) is matched to the maximum height (H 12 ) of the third fitting body ( 12 ″), in particular corresponds thereto. 
     
     
         13 . Scaffolding system of any one of  claims 8  to  12 , wherein the third decking profile ( 40 ) is shorter than the second decking profile ( 36 ).  13 .
