Scaffolding base plates are a vital component for any scaffold installation requiring a safe and consistent ground interface. Manufactured in 3mm thick steel, these plates are engineered to support scaffold tubes and fittings under load, while preventing ground penetration and instability.
HERMEQ supplies 3mm economy-grade base plates suitable for standard load scaffolding configurations. The flat steel plate acts as a contact point between the scaffold foot and the surface below, helping maintain balance and structure across uneven or pressured surfaces.
These base plates integrate easily into standard scaffolding systems and are suitable for temporary builds, fixed installations, and mobile platforms where scaffold feet demand ground-level reliability.
- Robust load support - Distributes scaffold pressure evenly across a flat steel surface.
- Lightweight economy design - 3mm steel plate provides stable support for general site needs.
- Corrosion-resistant - Durable steel finish withstands outdoor and damp site conditions.
- Universal fit - Works with all standard scaffold tubes and fittings without modification.
- Improved stability - Provides a level base on gravel, concrete or packed earth.
These scaffold base plates are an essential element in safe scaffold assembly across UK construction projects. Whether used on paved yards, soil, or aggregate, they help secure scaffold feet, reducing the risk of tilting or sinking. Compatible with all common scaffold tubes and fittings, they ensure even distribution of weight and a level start point for elevated structures.
Scaffolders rely on HERMEQ base plates to eliminate instability and meet health and safety regulations across both small and large builds. When combined with proper fitting, they form the foundation for scaffold frames, towers, and loading platforms. Their compact and simple design allows for fast installation and reliable re-use.
HERMEQ stock a wide-range of Scaffolding Equipment, Ladders & Jacks, Building Equipment & Accessories conforming to all required safety specifications and regulations.

Designed for long-term site use, these scaffold base plates are built to withstand rugged conditions. In large-scale commercial or infrastructure projects, they’re used as standard footing across complex scaffold builds. Their 3mm construction strikes a balance between weight, durability and performance for most UK ground types.
As part of a compliant scaffold system, these plates form the first line of stability. Paired with scaffold tubes and fittings, they help create safe walkways, platforms, and access towers. They’re an essential site product that’s easy to store, reuse and move between jobs, keeping your scaffold assemblies efficient and regulation-compliant.
