There are many types of scaffolding systems used in construction projects all over the world. Sometimes a specific type of scaffolding is commonly used because the construction tools are available and a large number of people get a basic understanding of the scaffolding system.

And the big difference in the application of scaffolding system between developed area and developing area also shows the differences. Depending on where the scaffolding system is used in the world, the circumstances of different types of scaffolding systems used in a different area will be more common.

In developed countries, such as England and Northern Europe where labor is very expensive, aluminum scaffolding is becoming more common. We all know that most scaffolding has to be manually lifted to be erected, while aluminum scaffolding is lighter than steel scaffolding and has advantages of rust resistance (don’t need more manual maintenance). And lighter scaffolding means that the scaffolding system can be built faster, which will highly reduce labor costs.

In some developing countries, aluminum is expensive and the labor force is much more affordable, so wooden and bamboo scaffolding are widely applied. As a scaffolding manufacturer, make sure that you’re recommending the scaffolding system that works best for your clients' construction project and follows local regulations. The most important thing you should remember is choosing the scaffolding system which best suits the local requirements.

It is known to us that there is a lot of expertise on the intricacies of each scaffolding system, as well as local codes written with these systems. So it is difficult to use a common scaffolding system product in the wide range of the world. We have already known some regional differences, like the Kwikstage scaffolding system in Australia and South Africa, as well as tube and clip in England and Wales.
