- How ScaFix plans Acrow QUICKSTAGE
- 1.98 m lifts; ties every 4 m vertically, every 6.1 m (2 × 3.05 m) / 7.29 m (3 × 2.43 m) / 5.46 m (3 × 1.82 m) along the wall; nodes every 0.5 m; diagonals at least one per 4 bays in every lift
Wall-tie spacing along the wall for Acrow QUICKSTAGE
ScaFix ties Acrow QUICKSTAGE every 4 m in height. Along the wall a tie sits on a standard, so the spacing is always a whole number of bays: for a wall built from one bay length, the table shows how many bays lie between two tied standards and the spacing that gives. Rule: Waco Kwikform «Kwikstage» guide (AS/NZS 1576.3 / 4576): up to 20 m ties at each end standard and at least every 3rd standard, vertically ≤ 4.0 m, staggered (Acrow QUICKSTAGE issue H §5.16 prints no spacing). ScaFix is a planning tool, not a structural approval.
| Bay length | Bays between ties | Tie spacing along the wall |
|---|---|---|
| 3.05 m | 2 | 6.1 m |
| 2.43 m | 3 | 7.29 m |
| 1.82 m | 3 | 5.46 m |
| 1.27 m | 3 | 3.81 m |
| 0.76 m | 3 | 2.28 m |
Good to know
From Acrow's QUICKSTAGE manual (issue H, October 2026), lifts of 1.981 m; the tie rule comes from Waco Kwikform's Australian guide, not from Acrow.
