Some Reasons to Choose Kwikstage Scaffolding

Regardless of the nature and form of its components, a scaffold is a temporary structure whose purpose is to provide a platform for workers and their materials when operating at height. Suppose the area requiring attention is extensive and includes sections more than 1,5 m above ground level. In that case, using a stable platform can save time and effort when compared to the hassle associated with the need to keep repositioning a ladder. In South Africa, Kwikstage scaffolding is the prefered choice of most professional builders, and for several good reasons.

To ensure that a business makes money, one must make the best possible use of the time available, and this is especially true of the building trade. Often, builders are committed to deadlines, which, if not met, could lead to penalties that can severely erode their profits. However, even an experienced and disciplined team of bricklayers, plasterers, and other skilled artisans may fail to meet a deadline if it takes too long to assemble their working platform. As its name implies, Kwikstage scaffolding is renowned for the speed with which it is possible to erect and dismantle it.

GIven sufficiently skilled hands, it is possible to complete most tasks quickly, and this is why many construction companies employ specially trained scaffolders to handle their staging requirements. However, highly skilled workers such as these can command a correspondingly high fee that could be beyond the more modest budgets of most smaller contractors. Fortunately, the characteristic rapid assembly feature of Kwikstage scaffolding is due to its unique design, which eliminates the need to use transverse bracing. Also, there are no loose fittings, and all of the joints are self-locating. Together, these novel features will ensure that assembling and dissembling this product should pose no problem for the average semi-skilled worker. 

Transporting this type of equipment to or from a site or storing it in between jobs can be challenging. However, the limited number of components, lack of loose fittings, and generally compact nature of Kwikstage scaffolding have considerably simplified each of these tasks. Notably, despite the exceptional ease and speed to which this product owes much of its popularity, the use of top-quality materials machined to the most exacting standards is the user’s guarantee of equally exceptional safety and durability.

Lastly, but certainly not least, this system’s adaptability is another reason for its widespread appeal. While using only the basic components of the Kwikstage scaffolding system, it should be possible to adhere to the profile of most buildings with ease.
