Also known as prefabricated or system scaffolding, modular scaffolding is a modern type of scaffolding that is assembled using prefabricated accessories without necessarily using bolts, nuts, and wedges. Tubular On the other hand, the tubular scaffold is a conventional type of scaffolding that uses tubes in assembling the scaffold.

It is a traditional scaffolding system which is still in use by many because of the total flexibility that it provides. Whereas modular scaffolding systems comprise of components that are designed and suitable only for the purpose they are intended, tubular scaffolding allows for infinite variations in the position of standards.

System scaffolds may be quickly and effectively adapted because of their modular structure, as long as the initial grid is preserved. Tube and fitting scaffolding, with its larger tubes, alternatively spliced connections, and multiple hand-tightened fittings can be difficult to adapt.

Systems scaffolding, also called modular scaffolding, consists of prefabricated vertical, horizontal and diagonal posts and tubes that can be easily connected. It can be erected quickly, saving time and money. Tubular scaffold: Strong, flexible support for heavy loads
