Easy-to-erect
August 1st 2007 The Triangular Bridge Scaffold System from Sterk Systems is lightweight and easy to erect, removing the need to employ outside professionals. A 12m span weighs less than 50kg, rests on just two supports and can be erected by two people in 15min. The length of the scaffold is said to compare favourably with traditional scaffold towers, which have to be broken down and re-erected for each section of a job. The Triangular Bridge's adjustable supports are positioned against the wall and stabilised; the bridge section can then be assembled on the ground and simply manoeuvred into place using the integral hand winch. Floorboards, safety hand rails and end rails can then be installed and, with an optional weatherproof covering for the system, there is no reason for work to be halted in poor weather conditions. Commenting on the aluminium scaffold system, Harold Sterk of Sterk Systems says "It's ease of use and innovative design results in reduced climbing time and therefore less potential for accidents."
