How Do I Choose the Right Type of Suspended Platform for My Project?
The type of suspended platform you choose will depend on the specific needs of your project. Here are some factors to consider:
l Height and reach: Determine the maximum height and reach required for the job.
l Load capacity: Calculate the total weight of workers, tools, and materials that will be on the platform.
l Platform size: Choose a platform that is large enough to accommodate the workers and equipment comfortably.
l Accessibility: Consider how workers will access the platform and whether any special access equipment is needed.
l Portability: If the platform needs to be moved frequently, choose a lightweight and portable model.
l Cost: Compare the cost of different types of platforms and choose one that fits your budget.
Types of Suspended Platforms:
l Two-point adjustable suspension scaffolds: These are the most common type of suspended platform, consisting of a platform suspended by two ropes.
l Multi-point adjustable suspension scaffolds: These platforms are suspended by more than two ropes and can be used for larger or more complex projects.
l Catenary scaffolds: These platforms are suspended between two points and are typically used for short-duration tasks.
l Boatswain's chairs: These are single-person platforms that are used for specialized tasks, such as window cleaning or painting.
