M-Lock System
Star node modular system with early-striking dropheads and decking beams.




A robust modular stage and facade access scaffolding system engineered for heavy platform loading, bridging large openings, and fast corner staging. Features high-tensile steel standards, bridging ledgers up to 24 feet, cantilever stage brackets, and specialized bow string transoms.
Malmo's M-Stage Scaffolding System is purpose-designed for contractors requiring rapid, versatile, and high-load stage platforms, industrial maintenance decks, and building facade scaffolds. Its engineered wedge-socket connection provides fast erection and dismantling with high structural rigidity.
With dedicated bridging ledgers spanning up to 24 feet (7.3 m), M-Stage allows construction traffic, pedestrian walkways, and building entrances to remain completely open while scaffolding continues uninterrupted overhead. Integrated loading bay transoms and bow string transoms accommodate intensive material staging directly on the platform decks.
Manufactured from prime grade 48.3 mm steel tube. Available in painted, self finish, or hot-dip galvanized finish per project specifications.
