WWW.GDECKING.COM
WWW.GDECKING.COM (2) From our HQ in Leicester, we manufacture and supply our G-DECK systems and products Globally to those involved in the building trades and construction industry. Our safety-first approach systems are designed to be best of breed. Having been in this sector in 2006 when we designed our first safety decking system, we really have become the experts in load bearing systems. When we set out to design G-DECK, the aim was to innovate from previous experience and push our new system even further with fresh ideas and improvements we had already in mind, it has resulted in us creating the best-in-class safety decking system available. We are focused on providing the building and construction sectors with systems that offer cost, timesaving, and safety advantages. Our experts can help you choose from our innovate 3-in-1 high strength, low-cost G-DECK main system which is a trestle/platform/tower, or our robust lightweight G-DECK LITE system for walk on/work on only, or maybe our DUAL scaffolding hybrid system that allows tube and fittings to be utilised. Being the UK’s number one choice for load bearing systems, whether you are a scaffolding company, developer, or contractor we have a system to help and keep you safe. MR GAZ BAINS | Managing Director

STANDARD
Our G-DECK STANDARD system is a patented 3 in 1 multi-functional high strength low-cost trestle/
working platform/tower, which is rapid to erect, durable and flexible enough to meet your site access
needs. Safety is a priority and G-DECK has been subject to stringent testing and analysis to provide its
load carrying capabilities.
The G-DECK system was designed with simplistic in mind which is why there are only 5 core
components per m2. The system provides integrated feature options such as handrails, stairs, adjustable
legs and can be erected at a range of heights from 0.8m – 5m. The deck has been tested and shown to
easily accommodate imposed loads of 6kn or 600kg per m2 which makes G-DECK the strongest system
currently available.
All our G-Deck systems are fully British & European Standards certified and is a flexible access decking
system designed to meet a variety of end user needs.
All our systems can be erected by hand and without the use of tools by a two-man team at a rate of up
to 45/60 square metres per hour. All components positively lock into place for maximum safety and
security.
The corrosion protection system enhances durability and enables G-Deck to withstand the weather,
providing an extended service life without any reduction in its strength.

LITE
Our patented LITE system was developed to offer a walk on/work no platform where a loading wasn’t
needed such as timber frame.
Still with our trademark slim profile metal decks to keep the strength under foot, we also included a
metal web within our legs to ensure stability and safety.
The G-DECK LITE system was designed with simplistic in mind which is why there are only 5
core components per m2. The system can be erected up to a height of 3m. The deck has been
tested and shown to easily accommodate imposed loads of 2kn or 200kg per m2 which makes
G-DECK LITE the lightest system currently available.
All our G-Deck systems are fully British & European Standards certified and is a flexible access
decking system designed to meet a variety of end user needs.
All our systems can be erected by hand and without the use of tools by a two-man team at
a rate of up to 45/60 square metres per hour. All components positively lock into place for
maximum safety and security.

DUAL
Our G-DECK DUAL patented system is the world’s first hybrid system that enables scaffolding
companies to offer decking to customers at a much lower cost.
Designed to combine the robust metal G-DECK decks with birdcage tubes & fittings using G-DECK’s
patented brackets, G-DECK Dual provides a more cost-effective investment than standard decking
systems while delivering enhanced strength and safety. Much faster to install than traditional birdcage,
it allows scaffolding companies to tap into demand for load deck systems from housebuilders,
developers and construction companies at a much lower investment level, while utilising their existing
birdcage assets.
With G-Deck Dual we’ve solved those problems. The investment is much lower – even compared to a
decking system of lower quality - and the profit opportunity is significant. Scaffolding companies can
re-use their existing birdcage tubes using our easy-fix brackets. Our decks have been designed to offer
market-leading levels of safety and strength and to stack neatly for secure storage. We genuinely have
designed it with scaffolding companies in mind.”
G-DECK’s metal decks have a 600kg/m2 load capacity, making them the strongest load deck system on
the market and ideal for projects where materials need to be delivered or stored on the deck at the work
area.

WWW.GDECKING.COM (8) ACCESS & MATERIALS HATCH Our access hatch is our latest and safest new access hatch. This hatch has the most advanced safety features available and at a reasonable cost. Features: 3 x hatches – ladder, materials & person access. 300kg loading as built with strength. Certified to British Standard BSEN12811 CLASS 4. 1250mm x 750mm footprint and colour but can be tailored for specific requirements. Chequer plate hatch covers for better grip above. Combo locks – saves time finding keys for padlocks, sites can have the same individual combo on all. Man hatch – Cannot be left open as self closes (a must for hatches as prevents drop in’s) Can easily fit under any decking system. Quick and easy to install
WWW.GDECKING.COM (9) STAIRWELL HATCH Our stairwell hatch comes in segments to make carrying it and installing it easy. It is fully adjustable with extensions that can be added for bigger voids, so our system fits any stairwell. We designed this system to be fitted from underneath by one person if needed to avoid fall arrest from above. It can be fitted by anyone and takes 20 minutes. If the stairwell has no lip at the wall the system comes with a support membrane that spans the void and is screwed down at both ends to support giving our hatch a 3.5kn loading. It comes with three hinged access hatches. The first is for the ladder, the second is for a person to access up or down and the third letterbox style hatch is for allowing any decking system to be passed up or down without any fall arrest from above. Because it is metal after a site use it can be returned to be refurbed and repainted instead of having to buy new again to keep your ROI. The colour can be personalised to your brand colours so looks on point.
WWW.GDECKING.COM (10) LIFT SHAFT GATE The latest addition to our product family is our new lightweight lift shaft gate. They are modular so you can add extension wings either side of the gate to cover any void space. The gate has stable style doors which enables the bottom door to remain locked while the top door can be opened. Both doors only open out and can be padlocked for security. Takes 10 minutes to fit, with minimum fixing required. We can offer a tailored service on these for specific requirements. We can powder-coat in your company colours. Gate is 2200mm (h) x 1200mm (w) & each wing is 2200mm (h) x 600mm (w) Additional wings can be added for bigger voids
