A planking surface (6) is integrated in the area of the vertical scaffold pole (10) on the console with the width of this planking surface matching the width of the system planks and whose length corresponds to the system screen pattern of about 0.5 m. The planking has a recess (13) to enclose the pole and hanging devices (9) are provided at both ends of the planking for adding further system planks. A T-shaped cross support member (3) is fixed on a tubular section (1) having two coupling attachments and a square tube (4) is provided on the two ends of the support with spacers for supporting the planks.
