Aluminium is the second most common material used in scaffolding after steel, and this is mainly because of its light weight and strong resistance to corrosion. Aluminium scaffold is a temporary metal structure used to provide a platform for workers when conducting repairs, maintenance and other construction works on buildings and other structures. Aluminium scaffolds can also be used during the erection of new structures to ensure that workers and builders have a safe platform for easy movements with their tools and materials.
There are various kinds of prefabricated components of aluminium scaffolding including, Aluminium outriggers, stairs, ladders, end frames, casters, hatch decks among others. These components work in different sections of the scaffold to enhance its stability so workers are not worried about their safety while on the structure. Aluminium scaffolding can either be mobile or stationary, however, mobile aluminium scaffolds are the most popular.
