Different projects require different scaffolding systems. Here are the most common types:
1. Supported Scaffolding
Built from the ground up using frames or tubes. This is the most common type used in building construction.
2. Suspended Scaffolding
Hangs from the roof using ropes or chains. Often used for window cleaning and exterior painting of tall buildings.
3. Rolling Scaffolding
Has wheels at the base, allowing workers to move it easily. Used indoors for maintenance work.
4. Cantilever Scaffolding
Supported from one side only. Used when ground support is not possible.
5. Trestle Scaffolding
Mounted on movable ladders or tripods. Common for indoor repair work up to low heights.
Choosing the right scaffolding type depends on height, load capacity, and work environment.
