Painters and builder’s trestle scaffolding system is a flexible and highly secure work platform that is ideal for simple tasks in construction or maintenance projects. The trestle scaffold has adjustable legs that can be increased or decreased in height to suit the situation. With minimal components, setting up, dismantling, storage, and maintenance are all easy aspects of this scaffold.

The main components of the builder and painter’s scaffolding system consist of the following six parts.

#1 Builder’s Trestles

Builder’s trestles are used in combination with scaffold boards to create a safe working platform. They are also known as steel trestles or bandstands.

#2 Aluminum Trestle Ladder

Aluminum trestle ladders are available in different sizes, ranging from 1.2 meters to 4.8 meters. Their weight ranges from 10 kg to 37 kg, respectively. These are the vertical, sloping, pair of ladders in the shape of a triangle on either side of the platform. They provide vertical support to the trestle platform.

#3 Trestle Handrail System

When working at height, there is an imminent danger of falling off. To prevent dangerous falls, a scaffold should be equipped with a trestle handrail system. A handrail system provides a safe working platform for workers by preventing them from falling over. The system consists of end panel, side or end gate, standard or mini panels (depending on project requirement), ladder bracket, double post brackets, two outriggers, and toe board clips.

#4 Trestle Stay

Trestle stay aims to keep the scaffolding system locked in place. It is a supporting tool that strengthens the scaffold’s stability. It completes the triangle shape of the trestle and can be positioned at different heights on the trestle scaffold.

#5 Plank Locking Device

When multiple planks are positioned together, there is the danger of them being pushed away. A plank lock serves to keep the planks connected together in one place so as to provide a stable and sturdy platform for workers.

#6 Heavy Duty Plank

Trestle planks have four rubber strips along their length to offer a firm grip. Heavy Duty Planks are available in sizes ranging from 2 meters to 6 meters. Their weights range from 7.2 kg to 21.5 kg. However, if required, these planks can also be customized according to the client’s requirement.
