Scaffold Platforms

Scaffolding platforms are platforms used for working at heights when washing vehicles, painting, decorating interiors/exteriors, trimming hedges or doing similar work. They consist of a flat work board supported by a ladder-shaped leg at each side. They provide a stable surface for working at heights. When selecting a scaffolding platform, check the required work height and subtract the worker's reach to calculate the required top surface height of the platform. Also check that the scaffolding platform's maximum operating weight (load capacity) will be sufficient for the application. Folding models offer superior portability and storage, but must be locked with anchor fittings before use. Some models have adjustable top surface lengths and leg heights, enabling use on floors with level differences. But when putting up a scaffolding platform, check for hazards in the area and make sure the equipment is placed steadily on stable ground. Movable work benches are wheeled scaffolding platforms composed of scaffolding planks with diagonal braces. To prevent falls, options such as handrails can be mounted to prevent workers from leaning over the top surface.
