Let’s go over the different types of scaffolding.

These days, there are diverse types of scaffolding available in the market; however, the most widely used scaffold types are listed out here:

Fixed scaffolds are the structures fixed at a specific place and are independent or putlog. The independent scaffolds have different types of stands that are present at the front portion of the structure, close to the working platforms. It facilitates the scaffold to stay in an erect position so that adequate amount of support can be provided if bulk work is required for any type of repair/renovation or construction.

#2 Mobile Scaffolds

The freestanding scaffolds that can be easily moved from one place to another are known as mobile scaffolds. It is often fixed on castors or wheels, which assists in its easy movement. When you require a movable structure for the renovation/construction of your office or house, mobile scaffolds are the best option.

#4 Hanging Bracket Scaffolds

Hanging bracket scaffolds are the most common scaffolds having a horizontal type of structure. Typically, the undone surface of construction/renovation or smooth surfaces of building act as a support for these structures. To make sure the right safety equipment is installed inside hanging bracket scaffolds, they are always designed by qualified and expert engineers and this type of scaffolds support load testing.
