Double scaffolding

The primary use for double scaffolding is stone masonry because stone walls present challenges when
trying to create holes for putlog anchoring. In this type of scaffolding, a double row of scaffolding makes
the entire support structure stronger. The first row sits parallel to the wall, while the other row sits away
from the first row. Added putlog holes support the frames. Rakers and cross braces provide additional
support to the scaffolding.

Rakers are a type of tie that sets the scaffolding securely to a building, and cross braces hold a part of
the scaffolding in a fixed position in relation to another part of the scaffolding or some other structure.

Cantilever scaffolding

Construction workers use cantilever scaffolding when the ground is strong enough to support standards
and when a wall’s upper level is under construction. The standards receive support from needles, which
are protrusions sticking out from a structure on which a platform sits. Workers remove the needles from
holes in the structure. This type of scaffolding is often more unsteady than other types, so taking extra
precautions might be helpful while constructing it.

Suspended scaffolding

Wires and chains suspend this type of scaffolding platform from a structure’s roof. A lever or electronic
system allows the platform to raise and lower as needed. Painters, window cleaners and repair positions
commonly use this type of scaffolding.

Trestle scaffolding

This type of scaffolding includes a platform that sits on top of a ladder with wheels for maneuverability.
It varies in size and is useful for outdoor and indoor purposes. Repair positions, maintenance workers,
warehouse workers and painters regularly use trestle scaffolding.

Steel scaffolding

Steel supports adhered together with couplers comprise steel scaffolding. This type of scaffolding is
simple to construct and dismantle. Because it’s made of steel, this scaffolding is more durable, sturdier
and more fire-resistant than other types.

Patented scaffolding
Patented scaffolding benefits from a steel composition and comes equipped with special couplings that
lock supports firmly together. The working platform sits on height-adjustable brackets.

Wooden and bamboo scaffolding

Wood and bamboo scaffolding are more common in Asia than anywhere else in the world. These
scaffoldings are notable for their flexibility and eco-responsible nature. Technicians and proficient
designers construct and move through layers and stories of bamboo scaffolding while working on
structures.

Tube and clip scaffolding

This is a steel-based scaffolding that is easy to assemble. It simply requires connecting supports to form
long pole runs and then standards and ledgers connected with clamps made specifically for these
supports. This scaffolding is popular because you can move the ledgers wherever necessary and adapt
its form to irregular and oddly shaped structures to reach several different locations.

Kwikstage scaffolding

Kwikstage scaffolding is popular because it’s adaptable to commercial and residential projects and is
fairly easy to construct. It has a non-slip platform and double guard railing, which makes it safe for
construction workers and reliable enough to place equipment upon. Galvanized steel comprises this
scaffolding, allowing for sturdiness and a durable interlocking system. The system is also customizable
and adjustable
