There are many types of mobile scaffolding used in the building & construction industry today. Regardless of which type you choose, the main purpose of scaffolding is to provide a safe platform for people to work at height.
In lots of jobs, a ladder is not sufficient enough for the task at hand. You need something which offers more space and is more robust. On lots of construction sites, you might see fixed scaffolding which could be there for long periods of time. However, this can be costly and time consuming, which is why many industries choose to use mobile scaffolding as an effective alternative.
As Equiptec mobile scaffold is a temporary structure based on casters, it can be used for a wide variety of different applications. It can be transported from one part of a site to another making it a highly useful piece of equipment for lots of industries. The wheels can be locked in place to secure the structure and allow workers to complete tasks safely. Rated to 2000kg per bay, this system produces a sturdy safe working platform for you and your team.
This independent platform is constructed on site and is built with a cross-beamed vertical structure. It’s composition makes the tower very strong which allows workers to carry and use heavier tools than they would be able to on a ladder. Aside from construction, these platforms are also used for other tradesmen including painters & plasterers, maintenance workers and window cleaners who need to access areas at height. Although they could use a ladder, it would make it very difficult and unsafe for them to be carrying equipment up and down a ladder.
There are many benefits to using mobile scaffolding over fixed scaffold, especially for those who have a smaller budget or limited resources, these temporary platforms can be a cost effective solution that still gets the job done. They are lightweight and can be assembled by 1 person easily and quickly. The system can be moved from one place to another by 1 person so are valuable for smaller teams, particularly if there are only 1 or 2 people working on the project.
Even low level scaffolds must have hand rails and mid rails, so Equiptec have an innovative accessory available called the Go-Gate which allows access to your mobile tower easily and quickly.
