Scaffolding brings two very important assets to a project: safety and convenience.
When you choose the correct scaffolding, you are protecting yourself and others from falls, as well as the consequences of dropped equipment. A fall of four meters could do considerable damage, and most scaffolds have features that prevent this from happening.
In addition, the convenience of having all your equipment and materials on a scaffold deck saves time and energy – no more climbing up and down ladders for power drills and hammers.
But choosing the right scaffolding requires some knowledge about what’s available. Here are examples of the most common types of scaffolding:
ALUMINIUM SCAFFOLDING
One of the most common materials for scaffolding is aluminum, which provides a strong and sturdy platform. It can be used for painting, plastering, plumbing, builders and ceiling installers.
Depending on the type of project you're undertaking, you will be able to find a type of ALUMINIUM SCAFFOLDING to suit. You can also choose a single width or double width scaffold, the double width being handy if there are more than a couple of people working at once or if the work surface is expansive
This narrow, tall and easy to erect scaffold is also known by its brand name, MiTower.
This scaffold is for working in tight spaces up to 3.9m standing height. It can be used on stairs and in lift wells. It's also easy for one person to put up and dismantle.
Assembly is easy, because unlike other scaffolds, MiTower’s braces come connected. On other types of scaffold, braces must be connected by hand. Here’s a video on how to assemble MiTower.
MiTower is also compact and easy to transport because it collapses to form its own trolley.
Features:
- Dimensions: 3.9m x 0.73m x 1.2m
- Can be assembled and dismantled by a single person
- Only 10 minutes to assemble a tower of 3.9 metres standing height
