What are the different types of scaffolding?

If you need to get up to the mezzanine, is enough to get the ladder, it is possible to use, and for minor repairs.However, finishing on a large scale requires the best equipment, and if you feel that you do not even help out the box, it is worth considering the purchase of the forest.Basically types of scaffolds are distinguished by the type of connection, all the major 4 - V, saddle, frame and pin.

The easiest way to connect - on generator, the individual parts are fastened to each other by zakolachivaniya hammer wedge on the cross or diagonal strut in a special lock on the vertical rack .

very reliable pin tubular scaffolding, but the fasteners, the same pins, may be lost, that creates some inconvenience.In fact, this modular construction, because the pins are connected not only horizontal and diagonal connection with the uprights, and the section with steps and decks.

frame scaffolding is not very convenient to carry, as the basis of them, as the name implies, make ready the frame, connecting horizontal elements, along with the diagonal.But this makes it possible to use such collapsible scaffolding for internal work.The most difficult step in the assembly - Saddles, forests, special swivel clamp used in them that allow you to make design a fairly arbitrary shape, up to hemispherical.

Folding Scaffold simplest design

Pin facilities and have a simplified version.In particular, it is easy to assemble a freestanding structure in which the vertical elements of the gas pipe are at the ends and in the center and four equidistant short tubes intended for the hooks bearing on horizontal-welding connection.Mount these mobile scaffolding can even a layman who has never before anything similar was not engaged.

often used for the assembly of forests such fixing element is self-locking lock, which ensures high reliability of the assembly by one person.

very interesting the option of hanging scaffolding, but it is not for private use.Such structures are assembled from individual modules, which includes fencing mesh, and are used for finishing work in the construction of high-rise buildings.They are fixed with special spacers to technological visors and any opportunity to speak, and are fed to the desired level by a crane.

All of these types are inventory Scaffold, that is, all their parts are produced in factories and are included in the complete list. a construction company conducted a rigorous inventory of all components .In direct contrast are structures for which no ready-made elements, in particular - the wooden scaffolding.They can be put together from a dozen boards, using nails and fifty ordinary hammer with a claw hammer.This option can also be considered as a simple, particularly if you have basic carpentry skills.

Scaffolding on wheels and their features

When you can not surround the forest the whole building, and the work is not carried out at an altitude of 100 meters, which, at times, reach the frame structures, a very interesting option can be used on a mobile platform orwheels on the racks.Externally, this design is very reminiscent of medieval siege tower, only without a wooden or metal cladding, and optional addition of a brake with rigid fixation.They call such scaffolding on wheels quite suitable - tower tour.

detached Such structures may consist of multiple tiers which are stacked on the platforms or only one of the pads on the top, in which case the design is changed by removing intermediate height racks.However, there are more sophisticated timber with sliding or scissor mechanism, platform lifts on a limited struts and ties, "the well".This type is much more expensive than conventional mobile scaffold.
