While OSHA some wood scaffolding boards are for
scaffolding, aside from purchasing lumbers and aluminium pipes beforehand,
there are other "Lumber and pipe-like" components that have to be
considered. Irrespective of materials, below are the important elements of the
scaffolding.
Standard is a lengthy pipe which links the
weight of the scaffold directly to ground level. The length of the mobile scaffolding rental should be run by the length of the pipe. This will aid in the distribution of
the weights to the standards. Ledgers are connecting pipes that is placed
horizontally to the standards. The function of ledgers is to provide additional
support to the standards in the distribution of weights. Ledger and standards
are partners in the said function. Transoms are located in a right angle
position on top of the ledger pipes. Though they provide support to the
standards and ledgers, transoms have two forms with their own function.
Transoms that aid in the distribution of weight
by holding the standards are main transoms. Main transom obtain further support
from the intermediate transoms which are located alongside the main transoms.
Apart from the tree main support elements, braces are also an important
reinforcement to scaffolding.
Right-angle coupler serves as connector for the
main three supportive elements. If there is a need to support a scaffolding on hire board
and must be linked to the ledger pipes or the standards, single-coupler or a
putlog can serve as the connector. Swivel coupler is a must to use in other
angle connection in the scaffolds.
