Types of Scaffolding: Which One is the Right Fit for Your Business Need?
Scaffolding is an essential component in the industry that allows workers to safely access high areas while working on a project. It serves as a temporary structure that provides support, stability, and a platform for workers to complete their tasks.

In different industries, each scaffolding plays an important role, and their type serves a unique purpose. These scaffolding types are manufactured using materials such as aluminum, MS, and FRP (Fiberglass), which allow workers to perform tasks at elevated heights safely and efficiently.  This article explores the multiple types of scaffolding used in various industries and their applications in this article.

Aluminium Ladder Span Scaffold (Single/Double Width)


Aluminium scaffold is a popular type of scaffolding used in the construction & industrial sectors due to its durability and strength. Made from 6082 T6 marine-grade aluminium that makes It a lightweight alternative to traditional steel scaffolding, and easier to transport and assemble.  Aluminium ladder span scaffold is a type of scaffold that uses ladders and platforms to create an area for workers to work on. With a weight that is light and a heavy-duty tower design, this tower can withstand heavy loads and harsh weather conditions, boasting 275 kg per platform and 950 kg per tower. It allows to access heights of up to 20 meters.

Design is robust and versatile, ideal for regular use. You have the option to choose between two different platform lengths (1.8m and 2.5m) and either a single width of 850mm or a double width of 1450mm

Applications: Commonly used for a variety of constructions, commercial and industries such as painting, plumbing, maintenance and repair.

Fitout Master Aluminium Scaffold:


Fitout Master Scaffold is a versatile type of scaffold that can be used in a variety of industries, including construction, maintenance, and renovation. Constructed using superior quality aluminum 6082 T6. It is designed to be easily assembled and disassembled, making it ideal for use in areas with limited space. Fitout master scaffold is also a cost-effective alternative to traditional scaffolding. 

The platform has a weight capacity of 220kg and can be adjusted at every 250mm height.

Applications: Commercial, Industrial, and Interior.

Aluminium Access Scaffold Stairway Towers


Aluminium  Stairway Scaffold towers are a type of scaffold that provides the ultimate solution for safe and convenient access to various levels of a building. To guarantee safety, the product is fabricated using 6082T6 Grade Aluminum. The aluminium scaffold towers feature stairways that facilitate safe and effortless ascent and descent. The 45° angle design of the stairway offers a fast and effortless way for personnel to move. You can have four workers on the Stairway without any difficulty. The stairway towers are easy to assemble and disassemble, making them ideal for use in areas with limited space or where a full-size scaffold is not required.

Applications: Commercial, construction and Industrial for maintenance. 

FRP (Fiberglass) Electrical Shockproof Scaffold Tower


FRP scaffold is another type of scaffolding used in the industry. 7 layers constructions of fiberglass-reinforced plastic, making it a lightweight and durable alternative to traditional steel and aluminum scaffolding. FRP scaffold is also electrically non-conductive, up to 33,000kv making it ideal for use in industries where electrical hazards are a concern.  3T construction and self-cleaning adjustable legs, make this tower safe and reliable. The scaffold tower is lightweight and easy to assemble, making it ideal for use in areas with limited space or where a full-size scaffold is not required.

FRP scaffolding towers are also available in single and double width which are customizable according to need. With a maximum platform-safe working load of 225 kg, the tower is strong enough to hold any necessary tools and equipment safely and securely. platform-safe

Applications: Designed to provide a safe working platform for workers in industries where electrical hazards are present. It is commonly used in industries such as power generation, transmission, and distribution.

Conclusion

Scaffolding is a crucial component in every industry, and each type of scaffold serves a unique purpose in different industries. The aluminum scaffold is a popular choice due to its durability, strength, and lightweight properties. FRP scaffold, on the other hand, is an electrically non-conductive alternative to traditional steel scaffolding, making it ideal for use in industries where electrical hazards are
