There are many factors to consider when choosing the right type of scaffolding for your project. It is important to have suitable equipment and understand the different price tags for each scaffolding option.
A few questions to ask as below:
Where would you undertake the construction?
The area where the scaffold will be used is critical. If the ground is soft or unstable, a suspended scaffold design is your best option. If the ground is hard, a ground-support unit will do. Choosing the wrong option puts your equipment and the safety of the worker at risk.
How many workers will use the scaffold at a given time?
What is the height and design of the building?
Most scaffold accidents aren’t caused by defects, but by error. The right height tower prevents overstretching and falling from a height.
Is the project a renovation or construction project?
Getting the right scaffolding depending on your needs and requirements. Rendering, roofing and building use different types of scaffolding. Choose a scaffolding that comfortably handles the user’s weight and any equipment they are working with.
If the job requires moving the scaffold, a mobile scaffold would be preferable. If it doesn’t require movement, a fixed scaffold will do.
Someone looking for a scaffold for a window washing has a different need from someone who needs support for roof work.
How to keep worker safe?
This is a major consideration when looking to hire a scaffold. Many materials and features go into a scaffold. Choose a brand and material that meets international and UK safety requirements.
Features to consider include
Scaffolding-specific platform
Safety guardrails
Built-in safe access and slip resistant surfaces
Comprehensive user instruction
How to keep the budget balance?
Budget matters when choosing a scaffold for your project. A supported scaffold is a cost-effective choice. Most of the components are reusable for future purposes. Adjustable models are more expensive but they are faster to erect and dismantle. Suspended scaffolds are the most expensive because they are custom tailored to fit the job.
