Scaffolding is a temporary structure usually made of steel pipes, wooden boards, connectors and other accessories. Its main function is to provide workers with a safe working platform, allowing them to reach high places for construction, maintenance or cleaning operations. Scaffolding can also be used to support building materials to ensure the smooth progress of the construction process.
Scaffolding is an indispensable temporary structure in the building and construction industry. Whether it is high-rise buildings, bridge construction, or indoor and outdoor decoration, scaffolding plays a vital role.
Main types of scaffolding
According to different construction needs and scenarios, scaffolding can be divided into the following categories:
Single-row scaffolding
Single-row scaffolding is usually used for light construction tasks, such as exterior wall painting or small repairs. Its structure is relatively simple, with only one row of poles, suitable for scenes with limited space.
Double-row scaffolding
Double-row scaffolding consists of two rows of poles, and the structure is more stable, suitable for high-rise buildings or construction tasks that need to carry heavier materials.
Cantilever scaffolding
Cantilever scaffolding is usually used for building facade construction, especially when scaffolding cannot be built on the ground. It supports the entire structure through cantilever beams fixed to the building.
Mobile scaffolding
Mobile scaffolding is equipped with wheels at the bottom, which can be easily moved, and is very suitable for scenes that require frequent changes in work positions, such as interior decoration or equipment installation.
frame scaffolding
Frame scaffolding consists of standardized door-shaped frames, which are easy to install and suitable for large-scale construction, such as bridge construction or large factory buildings.
Walk-Through Scaffolding
The design of walk-through scaffolding allows workers to walk directly through the middle, reducing the time of climbing and detouring, and improving work efficiency and safety.
Among the various scaffolding types, walk-through scaffolding is the most popular.
Walk-Through Scaffolding is a specially designed scaffolding that has enough space between its crossbars for workers to easily walk through without having to go around or climb. This design not only improves the efficiency of workers’ movement on the scaffolding, but also reduces the safety hazards caused by frequent up and down scaffolding.
Advantages of Walk-Through Scaffolding
Improve work efficiency
Traditional scaffolding often requires workers to move up and down frequently between different platforms, which is time-consuming and laborious, especially when tools or materials need to be moved. The channel design of Walk-Through Scaffolding allows workers to quickly move through different work areas, reducing unnecessary movement time, thereby significantly improving work efficiency.
Enhance safety
Construction safety has always been a top priority in the construction industry. The design of Walk-Through Scaffolding reduces the number of times workers climb on the scaffolding and reduces the risk of slipping or falling caused by moving up and down. In addition, channel scaffolding is usually equipped with wider pedals and more stable handrails, which further improves the safety of the working platform.
Applicable to a variety of construction scenarios
Whether it is the exterior wall construction of high-rise buildings or interior decoration projects, Walk-Through Scaffolding can adapt flexibly. Its modular design makes it easier to build and disassemble, and can be adjusted according to different construction needs, suitable for various complex construction environments.
Save space
On construction sites with limited space, traditional scaffolding may take up a lot of space, affecting the placement of other construction equipment and the activities of workers. The compact design of Walk-Through Scaffolding not only saves space, but also provides more operating space for other construction activities.
