What are the types of stair scaffolding?

To reach work areas in height, it is necessary to use scaffolding. The models for stairs have the advantage of being able to be placed on a non-flat surface.

Whether folding or rolling, the stair scaffolding system has its own characteristics. Overview of the folding model:

• Its assembly is simplified;
• It allows reaching a height of three meters;
• Its storage is easy because of its small size when it is folded;
• Its compact dimensions make it particularly handy. It can pass in cramped places without being disassembled;
• It only supports small loads: not more than 150 kg.

• Its access is facilitated by ladders;
• It is able to support large loads up to 600 kg .

Basic notions of scaffolding

It is best to use the stair scaffolding for short-term work. In any case, remember that:

Its working height must be comfortable to gain efficiency;

Give priority to scaffolding with a guardrail;

Avoid at all costs building your stair scaffold yourself with planks and a stepladder, as your safety is not guaranteed.
