To choose the best new scaffolding, consider how it will be used and how often it will be installed. Determine the required height and width, and the necessary components such as standards, ledgers, and stringers. Choose appropriate couplers and accessories like ladders, platforms, and tool boxes.
The first step in choosing the best new scaffolding is to determine how you intend to use it and how often you will be installing and taking down piping. This will impact which components you will need and how many of each component will be required to complete your tasks. In some cases, you may choose a new scaffold tower rather than a scaffold set; the tower will be much shorter and easier to tear down and build, although it will only be suitable for smaller jobs.
If you need new scaffolding for larger jobs, you’ll need to determine the height and width you’re likely to build the scaffolding. This will determine how many of each component you will need. The three main components of the new scaffolding are standards, ledgers and stringers. You will need several of each component for larger structures. Standards are vertical pipes that are connected with joints to give the structure its height; the registers are horizontal supports that stabilize the structure and give it width. Stringers are smaller pipes that are laid perpendicular to the stringers to provide a surface upon which wooden scaffolding platforms can be laid.
You will also need to carefully consider the types of couplers you will need as well as how many couplers will be required for the structure you wish to build with the new scaffolding. Couplings are joints that connect pipes together; some couplers are designed for specific purposes, such as connection standards and ledgers. Others, such as swivel joints, can be used for a variety of purposes; they can be positioned to allow for different angles and crossings between piping types.
Also think about the accessories you will need that come with the new scaffolding. Potential accessories include ladders, ladders, platforms, tool boxes and freight elevators. Ladders tend to be quite dangerous on construction sites, so many construction companies prefer the use of ladders. The downside to stairs, however, is the amount of space they are likely to take up in the overall structure. Decide ahead of time what type of system you want to use so you have a better idea of how much scaffolding you will need. Platforms can be made of wood, but most new scaffolding systems have specially designed platforms made of wood but reinforced with steel ends to ensure solid connections with the crossbeams. Consider such platforms for better stability and security.
