The commonly used forms of scaffolding mainly include cantilever beam type, multi-pole type, cantilever type, frame type (portal type), etc. Different forms are suitable for specific scenarios. ‌
Common forms
Cantilever beam type ‌ : Supported by a cantilever beam structure, it is suitable for the exterior wall construction of high-rise buildings.
Multi-pole type ‌ : Composed of vertical poles, horizontal poles, diagonal poles, etc., it has a stable structure and is suitable for large-scale construction.
Cantilevered ‌ : Fixed by a cantilevered device, it is suitable for scenarios where ground support is not possible.
Frame type (portal type) ‌ : an internationally recognized form, it can be quickly assembled and is suitable for various construction scenarios. ‌
The basic requirements that scaffolding should meet
Stable structure ‌ : The spacing of the vertical rods is reasonable, and the connecting parts comply with the specifications, ensuring overall stability. ‌
Easy to assemble and disassemble ‌ : The design should facilitate the rapid assembly and dismantling by the construction team. ‌
Meet the load-bearing requirements ‌ : Design the structure based on the construction load to ensure safe load-bearing capacity. ‌
Turnover use ‌ : Materials can be reused, reducing construction costs. ‌
