Craneable Scaffolding

Australian Scaffolds Talent Tuesday’s weekly topic was craneable scaffolding, and it was a great success with Terry McDougall. Terry presented information to Australian Scaffolds sales & service people regarding the benefits of using craneable scaffolding on site.

Moreover, Australian Scaffold were appointed to design and install a 12m scaffold stairway tower. Providing access to one of the largest infrastructure projects in the Sydney area. Additionally, the ever-changing access requirements on site were the inspiration for a design that would allow for the quick and efficient relocation of the tower at short notice.

Scaffold Tower That is Craneable

Australian Scaffolds technical team designed a remarkable craneable Layher all round stair tower solution. Layher’s intelligent connection technology, combined with the high load bearing capacity of Layher Allround’s diagonal braces, brought this lateral thinking solution to a practical conclusion: the craneable scaffold, a 12m high stairway tower, was assembled horizontally, then lifted by crane and placed in the required position on site. Subsequent relocations of the structure also involved crane handling and were remarkably straightforward. This impressive solution offered the client assembly speed, saving labour costs and avoiding risks associated with working at height.

Daniel Butlin, Director of Australian Scaffold, commented, “We were able to completely relocate this 12m high scaffold access stair  tower in under 2 hours, with only 2 men. Crane handling not only significantly reduced the risks, but also saved all parties the time that would be involved in the conventional strip and re erection of scaffolding. There was minimal site disruption”. A great job displayed by the Australian Scaffold team!
