I. What is mobile scaffolding?
Mobile scaffolding is simply scaffolding with wheels. It has four wheels and can be pushed around. People stand on it to work, and it’s moved away when finished.
Core components of mobile scaffolding:
Main frame: The “body” of the scaffolding
Cross braces: Prevent the scaffolding from swaying
Guardrails: Prevent people from falling
Scaffold boards: The “floor” for standing
Wheels: The “feet” for pushing
II. Answer 3 questions before buying:
1. What are the uses of mobile scaffolding?
Shop renovation, storefront installation → Medium-duty mobile scaffolding
Construction sites, factories → Heavy-duty mobile scaffolding
Home, occasional use → Light-duty mobile scaffolding
2. What is the height of the mobile scaffolding?
Under 3 meters → Single layer is sufficient
3-5 meters → Adjustable or single layer
5-6 meters → Stackable
3. On what type of ground will mobile scaffolding be used? Cement floors → Rubber wheels
Tile/wooden floors → Polyurethane wheels
Mud floors → Iron wheels or wide wheels
Third, FAQs on Scaffolding Purchase
Q: Buying cheap, low-quality scaffolding. Scaffolding costing only a few hundred yuan has thin pipe walls, poor welding, and unreliable wheels. It’s unusable and dangerous.
A: Buy from reputable manufacturers. The scaffolding pipe walls should be at least 2.5mm thick, and hot-dip galvanized is best.
Q: Not wearing safety belts when working on scaffolding over 2 meters high. Regulations stipulate that safety belts must be worn on scaffolding over 2 meters high. Not wearing them will result in fines, and a fall will be even more serious.
A: Wear safety belts on scaffolding over 2 meters high, attached to an independent lifeline.
Q: Not installing guardrails. Removing guardrails because they’re in the way, but a fall is possible.
A: Guardrails must be installed on scaffolding over 2 meters high, with the top rail at 1.2 meters and the middle rail at 0.6 meters.
Q: Scaffolding wheels do not have locking brakes. A: If someone stands on the scaffolding, it will slip, and they’ll fall in panic.
A: Before climbing up, make sure all four brake wheels are fully depressed. Push the scaffolding a little; if it doesn’t move, then go up.
Q: The scaffolding isn’t maintained. Without maintenance, scaffolding will rust in two years.
A: Clean it thoroughly after each use and paint it once a year. Use hot-dip galvanizing for coastal areas.
