Japan has begun a large number of applications in 50 s fastener type steel pipe scaffold, to 50 s, fastener type steel pipe scaffold are dominant, due to the ongoing casualty accidents, it was reported in casualties of up to 2856 people a year, therefore, the safety of the scaffolding problem has drawn great attention of relevant government departments.

Early '60 s, due to the convenient operation frame scaffold, bearing performance good, safe and reliable, especially the Labour ministry use make the rules, the safety of the scaffolding frame scaffold began a large number of applications in engineering.

Tall building in the early 70 s, as Japan is increasing, the scaffolding leasing business extensively developed, and the door of the scaffold are growing rapidly, and has become a leading scaffolding.
At present, Japan is the development and research the H, folding, cuplock type, ringlock type, socket type, slot type and other types of scaffolding. As a result of the fastener type steel pipe scaffold safety is poorer, has rarely used in construction engineering.

China at the beginning of the '60 s application fastener type steel pipe scaffold, because this kind of scaffold has flexible installation, easy to carry, strong commonality, as well as the low price, so they are widely used in our country, its usage accounted for more than 60%, is one of the most current use of scaffolding. However, the biggest weakness of the scaffold is poor security, construction efficiency is low.

Along with our country the emergence of a large number of modern large construction system, the scaffolding can not meet the needs of the development of construction, therefore, to develop and promote application of new type of scaffolding is a priority.
