scaffolding accessories suppliers

Without Scaffolding Accessories, there is no building construction project. This applies to new buildings as well as in the area of renovation, such as the facade or the roof. In order to meet the respective requirements of the construction measure, scaffolds are available in various designs, a distinction is made according to design as well as after use. Closely related to scaffolding are various safety regulations designed to make working at high altitudes a low risk. This affects both the framework itself and various security measures that users must take.

The scaffolding is one of the complete craft according to Annex A of the craft code (HwO). Scaffolding is a recognized training occupation, the tasks include not only the construction of scaffolding in the construction sector but also the installation of special scaffolding for events or for window cleaners. As part of the construction costs, the scaffolding works are tendered and calculated as a service, the costs are calculated as fixed costs or according to m² and service life.

The different types of scaffolds at a glance

Framework types

The different scaffolding constructions are distinguished on the one hand according to design or support system, and on the other according to their use. A distinction is made between scaffolding, suspended scaffoldings, cantilever scaffolding and console scaffolding. In terms of use, a distinction is made between working and protective scaffolds, mobile scaffolds and shoring. In addition, there are various special scaffolding, for example for facade , chimney or roof. Even if the individual scaffolding differs in many respects, similar principles apply with regard to the scaffolding components as well as for installation and use.

Framework types according to construction or support system

DIN 4420 "Work and protective scaffolds" describes the various types of scaffolds and defines design, construction, use and standard design rules.

The scaffold

In single-family home construction and house renovation, scaffolding is the most commonly used system. This type of scaffolding is characterized in that the scaffolding stands on the ground and is fastened to the outside wall with suitable safety anchors in order to prevent overturning.

A combination of vertical and horizontal frames, longitudinal bars and diagonal struts result in individual scaffolding fields that are connected to each other. This gives the framework its stability. Railing and other components make the scaffolding crash-proof. Important for the scaffold is a stable and level surface, the adjustable spindle feet are placed on underlay boards for better load distribution.

The suspension framework

If it is not possible to erect the scaffolding on the ground for structural, traffic or safety reasons, suspended scaffolds are used. They are used, for example, in bridge construction or for the renovation of high ceilings. The scaffolds are attached by ropes or chains to a suitable component or brackets or brackets.

The boom scaffolding

Boom scaffolding is rarely used in conventional scaffolding due to the complex construction and dismantling . The framework construction is attached to a cantilevered steel profile.

The scaffold frame

If work is done length-oriented on a building at a specific height, scaffoldings can be considered. For this purpose, consoles are hung on embedded loops, these serve as a support for the covering.

Framework types according to your use

In the DIN 4420 a distinction is made between working and protective scaffolding, possibly the two scaffolding usages can also be combined. Work scaffoldings serve for easy accessibility for work on the building, protective scaffolding protect workers and passers-by from falling or falling construction material or tools. The protective scaffolds include, among other things, catch and roof scaffoldings, protective roofs or protective nets.

Driving and carrying scaffolding

Mobile scaffolding constructions are used when scaffolding is needed only at short notice and the erection and dismantling of a scaffold is too time-consuming. They are brought as a complete construction to the construction site and placed there, or attached to the facade. Finally, there are the shorings, which serve to stabilize components. Support frames include supports, supports or lattice girder.
