CUP LOCK
Our cup lock standards and ledgers are made only from the highest‑quality 48.6 mm diameter tube and are hot‑dip galvanized, making them long‑lasting and durable. Cup‑lock systems are versatile scaffolding systems used for various forms of access and support structures in the building and construction industries.
Our experienced engineering team can assist with the design of both interior and exterior solutions for all types of construction projects, shoring design, and complex industrial applications.
We are renowned for our reliability and safety, and we comply with ISO standards — all of which make us one of the leading scaffolding suppliers in the country.
WHY CHOOSE CUP LOCK?
The Cuplock system is the safest option. Cup lock is a unique node‑point connection that allows up to four horizontal members to be connected to a vertical member in one single action — without the use of nuts, bolts, or wedges. The locking device is formed by two cups. This single‑node locking action makes Cuplock a fast, versatile, and optimized scaffolding system for construction, demolition, and maintenance projects. With our 42,000 sq ft warehouse space, we are proud to be the largest scaffolding supplier in the region.

SHORING
Shoring is a general term used in construction to describe the process of supporting a structure in order to prevent collapse so that construction can proceed. In this situation vertical supports are used as a temporary replacement for the building columns or walls.
The ASL team includes design specialists with experience in shoring design for residential and commercial buildings, underground parkades and renovation projects. We guarantee the most cost effective shoring equipment for the job site according to the contractor’s specific requirements. A complete inventory of shoring equipment is always ready for delivery to meet any customer’s requirements. Our shoring department specializes in suspended slab support shoring for low rise building as well as flyform tables for high-rises. The shores range between 4’0 up to 18’0”. Aluminum beams from 5’0 to 30’ in length and 4×6 in lengths from 4’0 to 14’0 are also available.
Everyone’s safety depends upon the proper erection and safe use of shoring. Inspect your shoring before each use to see the assembly has not been altered and is safe to use.We inspect all equipment before using. Never use any equipment that is damaged, severely rusted or is missing locking devices. Any component which cannot be brought into proper alignment or contact with the component into on onto which it is intended to fit shall be removed and replaced.
A shoring layout shall be available and used on the jobsite at all times.Inspect erected shoring and forming for conformity with layout and safety practices prior to pour, and after pour until concrete is set.
TEMPORARY FENCING
Temporary construction fencing is an alternative to its permanent counterpart when a fence is required on a short-term basis when needed for storage, public safety, crowd control, or theft deterrence. Other uses for temporary fencing include venue division at large outdoor events, parking lots and public restriction on industrial construction sites.
Construction fencing consists of individual panels that can be set up around the perimeter of the desired area to be fenced in. With Advance Scaffolding Limited Temporary Construction Fencing we can rapidly secure your property and equipment with ease.
Our temporary fencing is specifically designed to be easily erected whilst providing a strong and secure barrier around your site. It is effective for many purposes, including: domestic, commercial and industrial building, demolition, renovation, extensions, landscaping, enclosures etc. If you require temporary fencing throughout Trinidad and Tobago, you can rely on Advance Scaffolding Limited to secure your site quickly. We keep a large amount of fencing in stock at all times, so you are guaranteed we can meet your demands in a short period of time.
We train all of our qualified installers to make sure your valued site is guarded and that the temporary fencing meet all standards. Our installers also are trained to satisfy all compliance issues and can work with any critical adjustments quickly.
We’ll build your fence to be rugged, tough and durable to keep even the most determined intruders out. Our temporary construction fencing is very sturdy and can be supplemented by additional products to ensure the strength and longevity of the barrier.
In order to accommodate our customers’ needs, ASL offers multiple options for customized set-ups and removals of temporary fencing rentals. Some construction sites prefer to set-up the fencing themselves. We are happy to provide drop-off and pick-up service only, as well as a pick up from our location should that work best for your site.
SWING STAGE
Swing stage is a suspended platform that allows exterior work on various levels from ground to the roof on majority job sites and interior on some job sites. Run by hoist and steel cables, swing stage is widely used in exterior window washing, painting, restoration and other construction projects.
Advance Scaffolding Limited is a leader in swing stage innovation and one of the largest suppliers of modular platforms, hoist and beams in the country. Our extensive inventory allows many alternatives to suspended platform access solutions. While decades of combined experience let us handle most challenging projects with ease.
With worker safety as a priority, Advance Scaffolding Limited offers a full line of approved fall arrest equipment. In order to meet the changing building code requirement, our swing stage department is constantly upgrading its employee’s knowledge and training. With over 40 years of combined employee experience and a commitment to safety and integrity, makes RRL swing stage the company of choice.
BLEACHERS
Bleachers or stands are raised, tiered rows of benches found at sports fields and other spectator events. Stairways access the horizontal rows of seats, often with every other step gaining access to a row of benches. Benches range from simple plank benches to more elaborate benches with backrests. Many bleachers are open to the ground below so that there are only the planks to sit and walk on.
ASL bleachers are designed specifically for the neighborhood athletic fields, show grounds, movie sets, etc.; and provide comfortable yet compact seating for small and large crowds.
We offer two types of bleachers: pre-assembled and universal (has to be assembled).
Bleachers can be arranged to accommodate:
3 Rows – 33 persons
7 Rows – 77 persons
10 Rows – 110 persons
15 Rows – 159 persons
Our bleachers can be built to any size based on a 6’ wide by 10’ deep footprint. These can be built as wide or as deep as one desire.
SAFETY
Humans instinctively seek to avoid pain and death. And yet, we may behave in a manner that is a threat to our well-being. There are a couple of reasons why this occurs. The first is lack of knowledge. What you do not know, can hurt you! The second reason we may act in a risky manner is attitude. Attitude affects behavior. If you have a positive attitude, odds are you will exhibit safe behavior. A negative attitude toward safety will only cause conflict, stress and, ultimately, an accident. Stay positive and let Advance Scaffolding Limited handle the rest.
Advance Scaffolding Limited is a company that puts safety first! and we comply with all OSHA safety policies and procedures. All contracts are accompanied by Safe Practice Codes, Safety Checklists and many other valuable resources. Fall Protection and Swing Stage Awareness training is available by request.
Part of our safety line includes:

Roof Anchor Kits
Full-body Harnesses
