Types of Scaffolding for Sale and their Uses
There are numerous situations, within the building industry in particular, where the only way it may be possible to undertake a given task is to begin by erecting a scaffold. Scaffolds can be of various designs according to their intended use. In each case, the completed structures must be assembled from a range of individual components known collectively as scaffolding and offered for sale by specialist suppliers.
Scaffolding Expertise
The majority of these structures are likely to be used by professional construction companies whose staff complement includes specialists experienced in their assembly. However, manufacturers have also to cater to the needs of the smaller building companies and DIY enthusiasts who, more often than not, will not possess this kind of expertise.
Safe and Versatile
The emphasis of companies responsible for manufacturing and supplying the various types of scaffolding for sale must be on products that are safe, versatile, and which users can assemble and disassemble relatively quickly. While they are not the only types of this product on the market, between them, just two varieties account for the bulk of scaffold components sold or leased to construction companies, professional tradespeople, and enthusiastic amateurs in South Africa.
Of the two main types of scaffolding for sale on the local scene, Kwikstage is the one designed for the professional builder. While this product may require a little more experience to use than the alternative, this is amply compensated for by the exceptional versatility of Kwikstage made possible by an extensive range of components. Its practical design means that the product is easy to bundle, transport and store. Kwikstage, therefore, is the best choice for any company whose need for such equipment is ongoing and who will, therefore, prefer to purchase it rather than hiring it.
The second type of scaffolding commonly offered for sale locally is known as Selflock. The secret to this product’s success is implied in its name. Instead of needing to secure the components of a tower with couplers or band and plates, the manufacturer has seriously simplified and speeded up the assembly process with components that, instead, are designed to interlock securely. It is this feature that makes this product the ideal choice for both the small builder and the unskilled amateur.
Though lacking the versatility of Kwikstage, Selflock is the perfect choice for most of the tasks commonly undertaken by small builders, painters, decorators and DIY fans.
