A Beginner's Guide to Know Which Type of Scaffolding to Use

by Larry Chetan Business
Scaffolding is a structure mainly used by builders, painters or repairing men. It consists of  wooden planks and metal or steel made structure. The planks are fitted in the metal structure to provide place to walk on for the workers. The purpose of using scaffolding is to provide support to freshly constructed buildings and also to do what ladders cannot do. This includes reaching higher places with more than one worker on it. There are different types of scaffolding for different purposes and you should know about these types before going for scaffolding rental VT services. The scaffolding rental services experts would expect you to already know about types of scaffolding. So let's talk about some types of scaffolding which are mainly used by workers.

1. Trestle scaffolding

This type of scaffolding is mainly used for indoor activities. It is supported by moveable ladders or tripods. This enables you to easily go from one end of the room to another without having to get down. It has a height of about 5 meters thus enabling you to reach the ceiling to either change electronic appliances or to paint it.

2. Patented scaffolding

This type of scaffolding is used to provide support to the freshly constructed building so that it can remain in its given shape. Secondly, it provides space to workers to place planks between the pipes of patented scaffolding to do work while standing on those planks.
 
3. Suspended scaffolding

This type of scaffolding is generally used during repairs on the outer side of a building or carrying-out a painting job. This structure lifts the workers with the assistance of chains or wires. The lift in which workers stand to carry out their work is attached by chains or wires and those chains and wires are suspended over a pulley which is fixed at the roof of the building.

4. Kwikstage scaffolding

This scaffolding system is manufactured from galvanized steel. This system is time and energy saving because it requires little effort to assemble and it is also easy to dismantle it.

This scaffolding system is used by workers who are working on big projects such as the construction of a tower, because of its strength and can be built to any height.

Now that you have the information, you will make an informed decision on the right kind of scaffoldings to suit your need. Make the right choice today!
