Benefits of a Scaffold Tower with Bridges
More Working Space
Bridgebeam scaffold towers improve the safety of your elevated workspace by giving you or your employees a bigger, safe working platform to move around in.
Working on a ladder can be uncomfortable for extensive construction work. With bridge beams, you don’t have to worry about gaps. Bridge beams give you one large, uninterrupted working area.
Works Well With Obstacles
Because bridge beams are aluminium beams which link two aluminium towers, you can work at height without needing to install more legs or scaffolding underneath. Other systems to consider are the use of youngman staging boards with handrail.
Bridge beams are a great way to work overhead without needing to take up more space on the ground. You can install the bridge beams above obstacles like heavy equipment or furniture. For smaller tasks cantilever towers may suit your project.
Safer and More Stable
Ladders are only suitable equipment if you’re working on a project with a short duration and a low risk. A tower with bridge beams is safer to use for long periods.
When properly installed, your employees will be safe working for an entire day without worrying about dangerous falls.
