5 Reasons to Hire Scaffolding for Your Next Project
Scaffolding systems are a must if you will be working on a building's facade or high up on an interior wall. When looking to hire scaffolding for a job, modular systems, like Kwik Stage scaffolding, provide many benefits compared to other styles of scaffolding.
1. Custom Configuration
Modular scaffolding systems can be configured to fit the needs of your project. This is especially helpful when a building's facade is not perfectly vertical so the scaffolding must be built around odd protrusions in order to reach the non-linear planes of the facade. The scaffolding modules are designed to provide linear stability even when configured in creative ways to fit the facade.
2. Steady Construction
Stable vertical alignment is the key to a stable scaffolding system. Modular system supports connect into a combination of a diagonal and standard brace system designed to provide key support for every brace in the system. Weight and stress on each module in the scaffold are evenly distributed to avoid the stress that can lead to wobbly or leaning scaffold.
3. Quick Set-up
It's a waste of daylight and money to spend hours setting up a scaffolding system, yet scaffolds are the safest and easiest way to work on large vertical walls. Fortunately, modular systems don't require a lot of special components or tools to put together. They are designed to quickly lock into place, which when combined with the modular design makes them very quick to assemble on site.
4. Easy Transport
One benefit of modular scaffolding you don't want to overlook is how easy it is to transport, both to the work site and around the site itself. Modules are lightweight and can be packed flat for transport to the work site. Once on the site, modules can quickly be broken down or snapped back together when they need to be moved to a new location. Modules can even be disassembled so they are small enough to be moved inside for indoor work.
5. Improved Safety
Module systems don't just stack together, they lock in place so that there is no concern of any braces collapsing. There are also plenty of clip on points integrated right into the basic frame of the scaffold, so it's simple to anchor safety harnesses to the scaffold as one is working. Further, the jack and support system, along with the ability to adjust the legs of the modules, ensures stability even on uneven ground.
