Scaffolding Guide
Sole Board or Sole Plate
A sole board or sole plate is an essential component (vital on soft ground) which spreads the weight of the scaffold over a greater area. Sole boards are usually made of timber, in some instances they may be made from metal or concrete.
A base plate which is usually made form steel, will have a central shank for locating the scaffold tube. In some cases the base plate may be fixed to a sole board to help prevent lateral movement, especially if a foot tie or kicker lift isn't used.
