ABP Scaffolding
ABP Scaffolding
The Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka is undergoing a transformative period in its infrastructure landscape. From the ambitious Port City Colombo (CIFC) to the sprawling Central Expressway and the modernization of the Hambantota Port, the scale of engineering has shifted from traditional low-rise builds to complex, high-load structures. This evolution has created an unprecedented demand for Heavy Duty Shoring Pig Ear Couplers and related scaffolding hardware.
As a leading exporter to the South Asian market, we recognize that the Sri Lankan climate—characterized by high humidity and coastal salinity—demands more than just standard steel. Our "Pig Ear" couplers are specifically engineered to provide lateral stability and load distribution that surpasses conventional swivel clamps, making them essential for high-rise slab shoring and heavy bridge girder support.
The Sri Lankan construction sector is increasingly moving toward Pre-engineered Buildings (PEB) and System Scaffolding. Traditional timber shoring is being phased out in favor of modular steel systems due to safety mandates from the Construction Industry Development Authority (CIDA). Our shoring pig ear couplers bridge the gap between traditional tube-and-clamp methods and modern frame shoring, allowing contractors in Colombo and Galle to maximize safety without skyrocketing costs.
Unlike cast iron components that can be brittle, our Drop Forged couplers offer superior grain structure. This ensures that under the intense vertical pressure of a concrete pour, the coupler maintains its structural integrity without hairline fractures.
For projects near the Colombo coastline, we provide Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) coatings. Our testing shows HDG couplers last 5x longer in salt-mist environments compared to standard electro-galvanized alternatives.
The unique "Pig Ear" design allows for a secondary bracing point. This is critical in the Sri Lankan "Maha" monsoon season, where wind loads on scaffolding structures can reach critical levels. The design increases the friction grip on the vertical standards.
Shandong ABP Scaffolding Co., Ltd. is a premier export-oriented power-house specializing in the production of scaffolding components. With a core focus on the Sri Lanka, European, and Australian markets, we have built a reputation for E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) through rigorous SGS inspections and adherence to EN74 and BS1139 standards.

Material: Certified Q235
Our manufacturing facility integrates robotic welding and precision forging to eliminate human error. In Sri Lanka, we have partnered with major logistics hubs to ensure that our shoring couplers reach sites in Negombo, Trincomalee, or Jaffna within tight project timelines.
Procuring industrial hardware in Sri Lanka involves navigating customs and ensuring compliance with local SLSI guidelines. Shandong ABP Scaffolding simplifies this through:
Pro-Tip for SL Procurement Officers: Always verify the Forging Mark. Authentic ABP couplers carry a distinct identification mark that guarantees the steel's origin and load-bearing history.
Q: What is the maximum load capacity of your Heavy Duty Pig Ear Couplers?
A: Our forged couplers are tested to exceed EN74-1 Class B standards, typically handling slip loads over 15kN and failure loads exceeding 30kN, depending on the pipe configuration.
Q: Do you supply to small-scale projects in Sri Lanka?
A: While we specialize in bulk exports, we have a network of local distributors in Colombo who can assist with smaller quantities for residential shoring needs.
Q: How do you prevent rust in Sri Lanka’s coastal areas?
A: We recommend our Hot-Dip Galvanized finish. It provides a sacrificial zinc layer that prevents oxidation even if the surface is scratched during site handling.
Q: Are your rebar couplers compatible with Sri Lankan rebar brands like Melwa or Lanwa?
A: Yes, our mechanical couplers are designed to meet ISO standards that align with the high-tensile rebar commonly used in Sri Lanka.
