Under bridge access - suspended scaffolding system


Two-Point Suspension Scaffolding


They are perhaps the most common type of suspended scaffold. Two-point adjustable suspension scaffolding  also known as swing-stage scaffolds.  They play a prominent role in high-rise construction. Two-Point Suspension Scaffolding. Cables connected to stirrups at each end of the platform. Their platforms are suspended by ropes, or other non-rigid means.  Each cable suspension line is considered to be one point.

How to Assemble Metaltech Jobsite Series 6' Baker Scaffold


Outrigger Scaffolds

1. Make sure outrigger beams are:


  • securely braced at the fulcrum point to prevent tipping.
  • secured in place to prevent movement.


2. Make sure the inboard end of outrigger beams.


  • tension members secured to the floor joists underfoot.
  • both braced struts or tension members.
  • braced struts bearing against sills in contact.


3. To prevent their displacement.


  • Verify scaffolds and scaffold components.
  • constructed and loaded in accordance with that design.

Suspended Scaffolds Multi-level


  • Equal in number to the number of points supported.
  • Rigged to support the scaffold if the suspension ropes fail.
  • Suspension ropes must not be anchored to the same points. 
  • Equal in strength to the suspension ropes.
