SCAFFOLDING RENTAL NYC
WHAT IS SCAFFOLDING?
Scaffolding has been used for centuries to build and restore buildings. It's one of the most widely-used construction tools today, but it still requires certain safety precautions when working with this equipment so people do not get injured on site. There are many types of scaffolds, both supported or suspended depending on the project's needs at any given time
-Tubular welded frames can hold up to two people while they work together easily enough even without elaborate equipment such as aerial lifts placed underneath them so no matter how high you go there will always something sturdy beneath your feet! These simple metal tubes create an oppression free working environment by distributing weight evenly across its surface preventing falls from occurring
WHEN DO YOU NEED TO RENT SCAFFOLDING?
The general industry standard for scaffolding is a height of 4 feet. However, scaffold height requirements vary depending on the type of work being done. For construction, scaffolds must be 6 feet high and 10-foot fall protection is required for all workers who will have access to heights greater than 4 feet above lower level ground A general rule in most industries says that any equipment used for building or repairing structures needs an edge distance (the vertical space between supports) measuring at least 9 inches wide. One must also be aware that 10 feet above ground level there should always exist some type fall arrest system such as nets so workers are unable too climb further than what's attainable using just your hands alone; otherwise known as “falls limitations”
TYPES OF SCAFFOLDING WE RENT
When you're working on a construction site, the scaffoldings will vary depending upon what type of project is being done. For example there might be one for housing projects or another that's used specifically by engineers when building bridges and other tall structures like skyscrapers! Here is some info on the most popular scaffolding options and we ask you contact us for your specific scaffolding needs.
SINGLE SCAFFOLDING
Single scaffolding is often used for brick masonry. The vertical supports, called standards or ledgers connect at an even angle to the building's wall using putlogs (holes) that are bored through it in order allow access from both sides of single-scaffoldings platform when working on top floor levels where there would otherwise be no room because all other floors above this one project up high cannot support weight given their proximity together so everything has been removed except what was needed specifically regarding just how far apart each piece needs taper off before meeting again near midsection close distance but not too tight
DOUBLE SCAFFOLDING
Double scaffolding is a great choice for stone masonry because it can be tricky to create putlog holes in this type of construction. The first row sits parallel with the wall, while another sets back away from them at an angle so they're not directly against each other - adding more stability and strength when doing work on top or below ground level
The primary use for double-scaffolds are situations where there's challenging terrain like if you were trying to get up high enough without having any supports around; then using two rows makes everything stronger.
STEEL SCAFFOLDING
When it comes to safety, steel scaffolding is the way forward. Made up of sturdy tubes and couplers or fittings that are easy for anyone in your company (even kids!) can quickly put together then take apart as needed without any help; this type has greater strength than other materials so there's less chance things will break during installation/demolition timeframe - not only does its durability increase all these benefits also come with higher fire resistance!
CANTILEVER SCAFFOLDING
When it comes to construction, workers use cantilever scaffolding when the ground is strong enough and they are building up an upper level. The standards receive support from needles that stick out on top of a structure; these protrusions make up one type of stability for platforms sitting upon them
