What safety precautions should be taken when using aluminium scaffolding?

Safety is critical when using any access equipment. Key precautions include:

• Always inspect the scaffold before each use for any damage or missing components.

• Ensure it is level and all wheels are locked before climbing.

• Never exceed the load capacity marked on the platform.

• Use guardrails, toe boards, and stabilizers for elevated work.

• Only trained personnel should assemble and disassemble the scaffold.
  Most certified scaffolds come with user manuals and safety checklists—always follow manufacturer guidelines for safe operation.

Absolutely. Aluminium scaffolding is widely used in electrical installations, ceiling work, and maintenance tasks due to:

• Non-corrosive and non-sparking properties

• Availability of insulated or FRP hybrid scaffolds for enhanced safety

• Compact designs that easily fit through standard doorways or tight corridors
  For indoor use, foldable aluminium towers with non-marking castors are especially popular due to their mobility and minimal space requirement.

Yes. Modern aluminium scaffolding systems are designed to be highly adaptable.
Features that enable use on uneven surfaces include:

• Adjustable legs with fine-tune leveling capabilities

• Base jacks and stabilizers for sloped or rough terrain

• Stairway scaffold towers specifically designed for use on staircases
  These systems allow workers to safely access areas like escalator wells, staircases, or uneven ground without compromising stability or safety.

Aluminium scaffolding is engineered to support significant loads while maintaining structural stability.
Typical load capacities include:

• Light-duty platforms: up to 120 kg/m² (including tools and workers)

• Medium-duty scaffolds: up to 240 kg/m²

• Heavy-duty versions: up to 450 kg/m² with special reinforcements
  Always check the EN 1004 load class of the scaffold you’re using. Certified systems include detailed load specs and should never be overloaded to ensure safety.

Aluminium scaffolding is a type of temporary structure used for elevated work, made from lightweight aluminium tubes instead of traditional steel or bamboo.
Key differences include:

• Lightweight: Easier to transport and assemble than steel scaffolds.

• Corrosion-resistant: Doesn’t rust, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.

• Modular design: Allows for quick adjustments and height changes.

• Higher safety standards: Usually certified under EN 131/EN 1004, making it compliant with global safety norms.
  Aluminium scaffolding is the preferred choice for maintenance, construction, electrical, HVAC, and event setups.
