Types of scaffolding
Scaffolding comes in several distinct configurations, each engineered for a different combination of height, load, and structural complexity. From fast assembling modular systems to fully braced structures spanning entire building facades, choosing the right type has a direct impact on both safety and efficiency.
Alternatives to scaffolding
Scaffolding is not always the right tool for the job. Cherry pickers, boom lifts, and scissor lifts each offer a faster, more mobile way to reach height for shorter or more isolated tasks. Choosing between these options and a full scaffold structure comes down to duration, load, and how the site itself is laid out.
Legislation & Compliance
Scaffolding in South Africa is governed by specific legislation, national standards, and clearly defined roles, not left to individual judgement. From the Occupational Health and Safety Act down to inspection tagging on site, every stage of a scaffold’s life is covered by a legal requirement designed to keep workers safe.
Fixed scaffolding
We provide a wide range of fixed scaffolding solutions from standard size fixed scaffold designs to complex systems including custom designed and implemented scaffold solutions.
Mobile scaffolding
We offer a range of mobile scaffolding platforms at different heights on both long and short term hire options. The mobile scaffolding platforms offer excellent access control.
Edge protection
Many accidents occur on the edges of buildings that are not adequately secured. Our edge protection scaffolding offers workers and safety officers complete peace of mind on safety.
Shade cloth
Shade cloth is a vital part of the safety infrastructure on construction site where high winds are a common occurrence as well as providing an extra level of safety for all workers.
Birdcage scaffolding
Typically, a birdcage scaffold will have a boarded top as the access platform and can span great lengths and heights. The rigid uniform structure is very secure and offers top class safety where alternative access equipment fail.
