Workforce safety with Sterk Scaffold System
Paint-ability has brought its operation bang up-to-date by investing in a Triangular Bridge scaffold system from Sterk Systems.
Shire Select Windows had previously been using a combination of ladders, mobile towers and scaffold boards when installing upstairs windows, fascias, soffits and guttering.
When first presented with Sterk's Triangular Bridge System, the company tested it by working on the front of a house using the conventional ladder system, and the rear of the house with the Sterk system.
The team was surprised and pleased to find the rear of the house completed three hours faster than the front.
Roger Baker of Shire Select Windows has been delighted with the performance of the Triangular Bridge System: "We've been using the system for three months now and have found it quick and easy to erect and dismantle and extremely safe to use".
"The system is also compatible with our existing towers, enabling us to carry on using them, which is an added bonus." The Triangular Bridge scaffold is lightweight and easy to erect, with many optional add-ons to help with particular situations.
A 12 metre span weighs less than 50kg, rests on just two supports and can be erected by two people in 15 minutes.
The length of the scaffold also compares 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 lifted or winched up and clicked into place.
The floor boards, hand rails and safety end rails can then be installed.
There is also an optional weatherproof covering for the system, removing the need for work to be halted in poor conditions.
Designed by Dutch aluminium specialists Artilan Aluminium b.v., the system is made from high quality, robust but lightweight aluminium, with all-round welding to eliminate crevice corrosion.
There is a wide range of uses for it, from glazing, and painting and decorating to roofing, plumbing and construction.
