Selflock Scaffolding Manufacturers Serve the Needs of the Small Builder
If one were to take a walk around any large town or city in South Africa or beyond our borders, it would be most unusual not to encounter three or four buildings encased in scaffolding either undergoing construction or some form of renovation. The dozens of smaller properties in a city’s suburbs where builders also rely on elevated work platforms to perform their tasks may be less easily spotted. In South Africa, most small builders rely on Selflock scaffolding manufacturers to supply their platform needs, and for several good reasons.
The task of a professional scaffolder requires skill and experience. Qualified individuals can command a substantial fee for their services. Such costs are unlikely to pose much of a problem for a major construction company tackling projects worth hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of rands. However, the added expense could have a more significant impact on the profit margin of the average painting and decorating company or jobbing builder. Therefore, possibly the most important benefit when dealing with Selflock scaffolding manufacturers is the ease of assembling this product. After just a few minutes of instruction, even an unskilled worker should be able to erect a tower quickly and ensure that it is safe to use. In practice, this product could also be a good buy for a homeowner with reasonable DIY skills.
That ease of assembly is due to the product’s innovative design. A range of pre-fabricated, interlocking frames reduces the number of components required to create the tower. Also, their self-locking mechanism simplifies the process of securing those frames in place – two good reasons to approach Selflock scaffolding manufacturers.
The components include braces and tie bars of various sizes to strengthen the frames further. In addition, access ladders, platforms, and toe boards are all designed to hook or lock securely in place with only the minimum of effort. When disassembled, the limited number of components and their compact design also simplify the storage and transportation of this product between jobs. With just the minimum of care, the robust steel components used by the nation’s Selflock scaffolding manufacturers should offer users a lifespan that will more than justify the initial investment.
However, as many of us have learned from past experiences, unscrupulous companies are always willing to create inferior products and pass them off as branded goods. A safe and stable platform is vital for those who must work at height.
Accordingly, the Disc-O-Scaff policy of using only SABS-approved materials and compliance with safety standards have positioned our company as South Africa’s preferred manufacturer of Selflock scaffolding. To view our products click here.
