Introduction
Mobile scaffolding structures are a type of supported scaffold equipped with wheels or casters. The design of mobile scaffolds is meant to optimize freedom of movement. The major uses of mobile scaffolding include jobs where the worker is required to move frequently. Their adjustable nature, ease of dismantlement, and lightweight structure help them expedite work.
Mobile scaffolding is suitable for painting big houses and structures, plastering, tiling, emergency repairs, theatrical performances using harnesses, mobile stairways for aircraft, foundry work, railway station repairs, and of course, normal building sites.
Besides the convenience of mobility in any direction, mobile scaffolding provides the added benefit of increasing tower height without much effort by adding a scaffold section to an existing tower.
Keep these things in mind
There are a few safety measures to keep in mind during the assemblage and use of mobile scaffolding:
- The use of cross, horizontal and diagonal braces to provide a rigid structure is important.
- The scaffold should be (mandatorily) level and square.
- Platforms should not extend outward beyond the base supports of the scaffold unless outriggers or similar stabilizing devices are in use.
- When moving the scaffold, workers should not be riding it. Furthermore, if manual force is being used to move the scaffold, it should be applied as close to the base support as possible, but not more than five feet above the supporting surface.
So many scaffoldings, so little time: How to choose the right mobile scaffold.
