Scaffolding is a temporary structure used to provide support and stability when working at heights. It is typically used in construction, repair, or maintenance of buildings, bridges, and other structures. Scaffolding also has a variety of uses in the industrial sector such as painting, roofing, and general repairs.
Types of Scaffolding
The two main types of scaffolding are supported scaffolds and suspended scaffolds. Supported scaffolds are made up of frames that are connected by planks or platforms that are attached to the building or structure. Suspended scaffolds have platforms that hang from an overhead structure such as a crane.
Materials used for Scaffolding
Scaffold towers can be made from either wood or metal materials. Wood scaffold towers are lighter than metal but require more frequent inspections for safety reasons. Metal towers are sturdier and require less frequent inspections but may be more difficult to transport due to their heavier weight.
Industries that use Scaffolding
Scaffolding is widely used in many industries including construction, painting, roofing, window cleaning, bridge maintenance and repair work. Professionals in these fields use scaffold towers to access areas they would not otherwise be able to reach without them.
