The HERMEQ Trestle Boards S Bracket plays a vital role in building safe, modular access platforms on UK construction sites. Where standard board lengths fall short, or variable heights create gaps in working levels, this bracket ensures boards can overlap securely and stay fixed in place. It also stabilises handrails and toe-boards, reducing hazards from loose components or poor board alignment.
Manufactured from toughened steel and powder-coated for visibility, the bracket ensures operatives can easily spot support points across scaffolding bays. It’s particularly suited for temporary edge protection setups that need to comply with BS EN 13374. Whether managing trestle platforms, podium-style builds or segmented walkways, this bracket enables better control of load paths and edge detailing.
Because the S Bracket integrates directly with HERMEQ trestle boards brackets and other accessories, there’s no need for third-party fittings or adjustments. This saves time during initial setup and ensures structural compatibility across system components. It’s ideal for contractors who prioritise safety, speed and compliance during high-access builds, especially in refurbishment or maintenance projects where ground space is limited.
HERMEQ stock a wide-range of Ladders & Stairways, Scaffolding, Building & Working At Height equipment conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.

Popular applications of the S Bracket include:
- Extending trestle board length in access platforms
- Joining handrails on scaffolding bays
- Overlapping toe-boards for edge protection
- Creating modular, adaptable walkways on site
The S Bracket is an essential connection point in any professional trestle boards setup. It secures one board to another in overlapping configurations and keeps edge protection elements—like handrails and kickboards—aligned and structurally stable. This is particularly important when working at variable heights or across uneven terrain.
With its yellow powder coat, this bracket remains highly visible to workers, even in low-light areas or when covered in dust. Its compact profile doesn’t get in the way of movement and allows quick disassembly at the end of each work phase. The design is especially suited to urban and indoor fit-out jobs where trestle setups need to be compact but compliant.
