There are various types of scaffolding systems to choose from when planning to buy or rent scaffolds. Scaffolding systems are designed and constructed in diverse configurations for specific tasks, buildings or structures, working conditions and budgets. Some of the most common scaffold systems include, frame scaffold system, suspended scaffold system, tower scaffold system, tubular scaffolds, mobile scaffold system among others.
All these scaffold systems can offer ideal platforms for workers when operating on heights or areas that are not easily accessible by other structures. However, it should be noted that not all can work best in every project, which means you should know how to choose the most suitable one. The best way to get help with choosing scaffolding systems is through a scaffolding expert but, you may not always have the time for that. To cut the chase, the following are some of the most important points to consider when choosing types of scaffolding systems;
Condition of the work site
The ground where the scaffold will be erected should always be first inspected to help you know the right type of scaffold that can work in that condition. For example, if you are working on a site with unstable soils like, clay and sand, it is advisable to consider a working platform. However, work sites with concrete floors are best suited for mobile scaffolds.
Although scaffolds can be set up with enhanced supports for stability, it is still important to find the right system that can work on those grounds. Choosing the best type of scaffold for your site will ensure efficient operations and also safety throughout the project.
Characteristics of the building or structure
Your work could be much easier and enjoyable if you also know the various uses of scaffolds. There are some buildings or structures that can only be worked on using specific scaffolds. Thus, you should also take time to study the architecture or design of the work station in order to know the most appropriate scaffold system to go for.
For instance, if you want to work on the ceiling or conduct activities that require constant movements like painting, mobile scaffolds are the best systems to choose. On the other hand, working on hidden areas with limited accessibility space require suspended scaffolds. Besides, tower scaffolds are recommended for working in high rise buildings.
However, it should also be noted that there are some types of scaffold systems that can be adapted to the characteristics of buildings.
