The common scaffolding couplers on the market currently have different types and weights, and the price of each type of scaffolding coupler is different. The weight of the coupler is also a factor that affects the price, and there are significant differences in the price of double couplers of different weights.
The main types of couplers sold by EK scaffolding manufacturer include double coupler, sleeve coupler, swivel coupler, girder coupler, board retaining coupler and putlog coupler. At present, the prices of double couplers of different weights and types are different. For specific scaffolding coupler prices, you can contact us by email for consultation.
What are the factors that affect the price of scaffolding coupler?
1. Raw material price
The raw materials involved in scaffolding coupler include steel of different specifications and materials involved in surface treatment, and the prices of these raw materials will fluctuate. The cheaper the raw materials, the cheaper the price of scaffolding coupler.
However, too cheap raw materials may affect the service life and load-bearing capacity of scaffolding coupler.
2. Ocean freight
The price of ocean freight will also be included in the total cost of double coupler. This part of the cost is not fixed, but will change according to the policy of the shipping company.
3. Purchase quantity
No matter what type of double coupler you buy, the price of bulk purchase will be cheaper than retail.
4. Fastener specifications
The wall thickness and weight of scaffolding coupler will affect the price. The price of 3.0mm fasteners will be cheaper than 3.6mm fasteners, but the load-bearing capacity and service life will not be as good as 3.6mm fasteners.
In addition, the anti-corrosion level of double coupler will also affect the price. The higher the anti-corrosion level, the higher the price of scaffolding coupler, and the service life will be longer than cheap fasteners.
Drop forged coupler is relatively cheap and suitable for use in most construction scenarios. It is a cost-effective choice. The reason why the pressed coupler is expensive is the mold cost and galvanizing process.
6. Surface treatment
Scaffolding coupler also needs surface treatment. You can choose galvanizing or spraying treatment, mainly to improve the corrosion resistance of the fastener. Galvanized scaffolding coupler has hot-dip galvanizing and electro-galvanizing, and the costs involved in different processes are also different. The thickness of galvanizing will also affect the price of the fastener. In short, the worse the corrosion resistance of the fastener, the cheaper the price.
7. Delivery cycle
Urgent orders require workers to work overtime, which will increase labor costs. Orders with longer delivery cycles can be purchased when the raw material price is appropriate to reduce the cost of raw materials, thereby reducing the price of scaffolding coupler.
8. Purchase channels
Scaffolding couplers can be purchased through the following three channels: scaffolding coupler manufacturer, local building materials market and e-commerce platform. Among these three purchase methods, the price of coupler manufacturer is relatively cheaper.
If you need to replenish stocks urgently, you can choose the local building materials market, where you can get the coupler quickly, but the price will be more expensive.
For long-term bulk purchases or customized couplers with special specifications, you can choose scaffolding coupler manufacturers. Most coupler manufacturers can provide customized services, which are not available in local building materials markets and e-commerce platforms.
For complex orders with many types and small quantities, you can choose e-commerce platforms. The advantage of e-commerce platforms is that they have many types and no restrictions on the purchase quantity.
9. Supply and demand relationship
During the peak construction season, the demand for fasteners surges, and the price will rise. During the off-season, the price of scaffolding couplers will also fall. In addition, the freight in remote areas will be more expensive than that in prosperous areas.
10. Test report
Customers who need test reports will also pay extra for the report.
