Scaffolding and Ladders

Scaffolding and ladders provide the working heights below where powered lifts take over. Step and extension ladders dominate the catalog classes, with frame and rolling scaffold systems for sustained elevated work.

Cómo funciona

Ladders transfer a climber's weight to ground and structure and suit short-duration, light-load access; scaffolds build rated platforms that hold crews, tools, and materials for sustained work. Duty ratings, setup geometry, and — on scaffolds — competent-person erection and inspection are the operating framework.

Tipos y variantes

Ladder: Step, extension, multi-purpose, and trestle ladders with jack sets.
Scaffolding: Frame, baker, and formwork scaffold systems for elevated platforms.

Cómo elegir

Duration and load make the call: minutes of access with light tools suits a ladder of the right type, duty rating, and material; hours of work, two hands occupied, or staged materials call for scaffold. Height thresholds bring guardrail and fall-protection requirements on the scaffold side.

Preguntas frecuentes

Ladder or scaffold for the job?

Duration and load decide: quick, light access favors ladders; sustained work, both hands busy, or materials at height favor scaffold — most falls trace to ladders used where scaffold belonged.

What do ladder types and ratings mean?

Type is geometry (step, extension, multi-purpose); rating is total load, from 200 to 375 lb. Construction work belongs on Type I ratings and up, in fiberglass wherever electrical exposure exists.

What rules govern scaffold assembly?

Erection under a competent person, full planking, guardrails above 10 ft, and inspection before each shift — the supported-scaffold requirements of OSHA 1926.451.
