There are 4 types of scaffolding in our usual industrial building construction. Fixed scaffolds, mobile scaffolds, suspended or swing stage scaffolds,
1. Fixed Scaffolds
Fixed scaffolds are structures fixed at a specific place and are independent or putlog. The independent scaffolds have different types of stands that are present at the front portion of the structure, close to the working platforms. It facilitates the scaffold to stay in an erect position so that an adequate amount of support can be provided if bulk work is required for any type of repair/renovation or construction.
2. Mobile Scaffolds
The freestanding scaffolds that can be easily moved from one place to another are known as mobile scaffolds. It is often fixed on castors or wheels, which assists in its easy movement. When you require a movable structure for the renovation/construction of your office or house, mobile scaffolds are the best option.
3. Suspended or Swing Stage Scaffolds
As per the user’s requirements, the platform is either raised or lowered in this type of scaffold. The best example of suspended scaffolds is they are used by high-rise/tall buildings for cleaning their glasses every day. Underneath this scaffold, a safety stair system is also placed
4. Hanging Bracket Scaffolds
Hanging bracket scaffolds are the most common scaffolds having a horizontal type of structure. Typically, the undone surface of construction/renovation or smooth surfaces of the building act as a support for these structures. To make sure the right safety equipment is installed inside hanging bracket scaffolds, they are always designed by qualified and expert engineers and these types of scaffolds support load testing.
