Standard scaffolding has to be dismantled and then reassembled rather than being moved around. It's all very labour intensive but highly rigid and provides a highly safe working environment when done properly. The lightweight scaffolding slots together with no need for tools; comes with its own wheels; and can be moved around; four out-riggers, one on each corner, can then be put in contact with the ground for extra stability, when it comes time to climb up. "It's a wee bit shoogely, David.", exclaimed my roofer as he ascended and constructed the scaffold this afternoon, a little wary of the new technology. "English scaffolds can't be shoogely." came my retort. :-)
Anyhow, we had got the scaffolding for interior work i.e. re-building floors and tall ceilings from the level below and having tried it for some exterior window work this afternoon even my builder now thinks it's just the biz.

Looks useful... presumably you can obtain extra sections and extend it upwards as far as you dare. A meccano siege tower!
ReplyDeleteA new scaffolding tower? That's great! It's really helpful when doing general interior works. You just need to be safe when using this. Good thing you have a pick up truck too, though there are companies that deliver scaffolding to their client's house for free. And before it slips my mind, be sure to assemble the scaffolding according to the instruction so it won't cause any accident.
