Aluminium Scaffolding - the Different Systems.

Aluminium scaffolds are broken down into 2 basic categories.

Frame scaffolds:
These are basically modular systems consisting of frames (pre fabricated vertical standard and horizontal transom members), and also diagonal, horizontal bracing.

Generally, frame scaffolds are single bay units that are kept on castors, and easily portable. Due to the fact that they are lightweight and movable, they are perfect for the small – medium size jobs of a home or commercial nature.



System Scaffolds:
Based on the modular series of Kwikstage or Ringlock for example, these systems generally perform the same functions as steel sytems, but are lighter, with lower loading capacities.

The two main systems are Aluminium Kwikstage, and Aluminium Ringlock. As it is a new and quite niche market, each Australian company has adopted different principles from multiple systems, and so many hybrid systems have popped up recently.
