Scaffold Poles

Scaffolding systems that are correctly designed will have work levels which are decked with regulation sized planks and have appropriate access for workers.

To erect scaffolding, a scaffolding company must first apply for an appropriate permit.

There are three standard sizes of scaffolding boards, they are 63mm, 50mm, and 38mm.

By using oversized casters with extra long necks you can enhance the feeling of safety as well as improving stability.

To prevent workers from slipping it's essential for a scaffolding plank to have a non slip surface.

Independent scaffolds should also be secured or tied to the structure under repair or construction at various intervals to lend support to its overall stability.

Be sure that when you research a scaffold companies you keep in mind your own needs for scaffolding - make sure the scaffold companies will be able to be flexible enough to accommodate what YOU want from them.

Jobs such as removing or installing guttering, installing replacement windows, painting or demolition work should usually be carried out from independent scaffolding or mobile access equipment.

System scaffolding is also used in the Civil Engineering sector as support framework for concrete pouring and slab fixing.

By the use of mobile scaffolding a reduced physical stress and larger working area can be gained.
