A mechanical coupling arrangement for a scaffold includes a pole and a mounting collar having an attachment surface to which elongated support members can be attached. A level of radial play between the pole and the mounting collar in a first relative angular position is larger than the level of radial play between the pole and the mounting collar in a second relative angular position. The second relative angular position corresponds to a fastening position of the mounting collar, and the first relative angular position corresponds to an axial sliding position of the mounting collar.

A scaffolding section is provided. The scaffolding section comprises a first and a second standard. A substantially horizontally oriented ledger is connected to the first and the second standard a predetermined height above a bottom end of the first and the second standard. An arch structure is disposed between the first and the second standard and below the ledger. The arch structure comprises at least a top part, a substantially straight first bottom part and a substantially straight second bottom part. The first and the second bottom part are disposed along a substantial length of the first and the second standard, respectively. The arch structure is mounted to the ledger, to the first standard, and to the second standard.

A scaffold includes a first end frame assembly. The scaffold includes a second end frame assembly. The scaffold includes a first side brace assembly supported by the first end frame assembly and the second end frame assembly. The scaffold includes a second side brace assembly supported by the first end frame assembly and the second end frame assembly. Each end frame assembly has a first rail with holes and a caster assembly and a second rail with holes and a caster assembly, and a horizontal that is attached to each rail.
