Modular Scaffolding
Modular means employing one or more different modules, or independent units, to form a base. That base is then used to construct something much bigger and complex.
Modular scaffolding is highly effective in situations where the facade of the structure is complex, and does not allow for use with a conventional scaffold. Such a scaffold can be set up on either side of the building, and offers a great level of flexibility.
System Scaffolding
According to the US Department of Labor, system scaffold means a scaffold consisting of posts with fixed connection points that accept runners, bearers, and diagonals that can be interconnected at predetermined levels.
In simple words, a system scaffold employs vertical, horizontal, and diagonal posts and tubes. Fixed linking points are spaced on the vertical post to which a horizontal or diagonal tube can be easily connected. A system scaffold uses a latch mechanism that makes it much quicker to erect, as compared to a tubular scaffolding.
Modular and system scaffolds are the same, except for the name. They are also referred to as prefabricated scaffold. This is because the components are already manufactured, and designed exactly for the purpose they are intended. There is a lack of loose components in system, modular, or prefabricated scaffolding which makes it an ideal choice. It proves both cost effective and time effective, therefore it is extremely popular nowadays.
Cuplock scaffold and kwikstage scaffold are among the most commonly used modular scaffolding systems of today. Ringlock is also another type of modular scaffolding. They are reliable, versatile, and minimize time, cost, and energy when it comes to assembling them.
