Strictly manufactured in compliance with international BS1139 and EN12811 standards to ensure ultimate safety at heights.
Vietnam is undergoing a major shift in its construction and industrial landscape. Driven by massive foreign direct investment (FDI) in regions like Binh Duong, Bac Ninh, Hai Phong, and the Long Thanh International Airport project, industrial infrastructure demands are higher than ever. With this transformation comes the critical need for safety, speed, and standardization in scaffolding systems.
Historically, local builders relied on lower-grade walk boards. Today, safety regulations aligned with European standards (such as EN12811-1) and regional industrial guidelines dictate the transition to high-tensile Q235 steel and aluminum walk boards. The coastal climate of Vietnam—characterized by high humidity and atmospheric salinity in ports like Hai Phong and Vung Tau—calls for superior hot-dip galvanization and advanced zinc-alloy coatings to prevent premature corrosion and structural fatigue.
Leveraging industrial clusters in Tianjin to deliver cost-optimized, certified walk boards directly to Vietnam's main ports.
The Strategic Edge of Chinese Steel Manufacturing: Chinese production facilities like Tianjin Minjie Steel Co., Ltd. leverage advanced automation, raw material aggregation, and continuous galvanization lines to keep production costs highly competitive. Positioned only 40 kilometers from XinGang Port (Tianjin), the largest shipping hub in North China, our logistics pipeline is engineered for rapid shipping to major ports in Vietnam, including Cat Lai (HCMC), Da Nang, and Hai Phong. Our production lines feature 4 pre-galvanized product lines, 8 ERW steel pipe product lines, and 3 hot-dipped galvanized process lines, operating under strict ISO9001 quality management systems to guarantee conformity to BS1139/EN12811 scaffolding requirements.
For shipyards in Hai Phong and Vung Tau, atmospheric salt causes rapid steel deterioration. We supply thick hot-dip galvanized steel boards with anti-slip perforated arrays and specialized water-shedding designs, providing a lifespan up to 3 times longer than basic painted options.
High-density urban construction projects in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi require lightweight, high-load scaffolding systems. Our aluminum walk boards and light pre-galvanized planks ease labor intensity, reduce erection times, and significantly lower structural crane lifting loads.
Refinery installations like Nghi Son and Dung Quat require non-sparking, fire-retardant access pathways. We offer engineered structural walk boards featuring secure locking hook assemblies and grounding connectivity, minimizing static hazards in sensitive environments.

Clear, expert-level technical answers detailing walk board selection, surface finishes, and structural considerations.
Pre-galvanized walk boards are manufactured using steel strips that have already been continuously zinc-coated (typically around 60–120g/m²). This provides a uniform finish suitable for general construction. In contrast, hot-dip galvanized (HDG) planks are fabricated from untreated steel and then immersed in molten zinc after production. This coats all welds, seams, and interior surfaces with a thicker protective barrier (typically 300g/m² or 40–80 µm thickness), making HDG walk boards highly resistant to coastal corrosion and marine environments.
Standard certifications such as EN 12811-1 (European Standard for access and working scaffolds) require walk boards to pass stringent uniform load testing and concentrated point load analysis. This ensures that a scaffold plank will not bend, slip, or rupture under heavy tools and wind loads, meeting high industrial safety standards.
Q235 steel offers an ideal balance of mechanical performance, yield strength (235 MPa), and ductility. It allows the walk boards to flex slightly under unexpected high loads without fracturing, providing key structural safety signs before failure, while remaining highly cost-effective.
Our walk boards feature raised stamping patterns and dimples that provide high slip resistance in wet or oily conditions. Punching patterns are designed with drainage holes to prevent standing water or mud accumulation, keeping work platforms safe for workers.
