Various Types of Scaffolding for Sale

Whether simply for amateur DIY work or for professional building, there will be numerous occasions on which some form of elevated platform will be required in order to complete a task. Indoors, for example, a painter and decorator may find this necessary to tackle a high wall or a ceiling. Outside, the use of a ladder alone could make painting the exterior of a home a very lengthy and tedious process. In each case, the better option would be to check out some of the scaffolding for sale and to purchase something suitable.

Of course, if the requirement is for a one-off task, it would be more economical to hire it and maybe even have a competent scaffolder erect it for you. However, for anyone who relies on building or decorating for their main income, ownership will be the more cost-effective option. That said, when browsing the various forms of scaffolding for sale, it will be important to ensure choosing the option that is best suited to the type of work one is engaged in. In most cases, this is likely to be of the type supported at ground level rather than the suspended-platform variety that is only necessary when required to work on the exterior of the upper floors of an exceptionally tall structure.

Modern products have been designed with the safety and convenience of the end-user foremost in mind. Among those that best conform to these requirements, two types of scaffolding for sale in Southern Africa tend to stand out from the rest. These are Selflock and Kwikstage. Of the two, Selflock is the one recommended for use in renovation projects and on smaller building jobs. The perfect option for unskilled workers, its frames can be quickly interlocked to form towers that are then connected using tie bars, stabilised with diagonal braces and readied to attach hook-on boards and access ladders in record time.

Although the benefits of Selflock are quite obvious, it is the Kwikstage product that is most widely used of the two most popular forms of scaffolding for sale on the local scene. While it is also designed for quick assembly and dismantling, it combines superior strength with the great versatility, making it a more cost-effective option with which to tackle the more challenging jobs of a larger construction company.

Hook-on boards, kick plates, cantilever brackets, staircases, handrails, and trapdoors are just a few of the features that account for its popularity. Disc-O-Scaff is a manufacturer and preferred supplier of both Kwikstage and Selflock scaffolding and offers them for sale to builders in Southern Africa.
