Why Choose Steel Scaffolding?

Steel scaffolding most comes into its own when you have projects that require you to work with heavy loads or build tall structures. It's been the stalwart choice for these types of jobs for centuries.

Strength and durability

Steel scaffolding provides high levels of strength and load-carrying capacity. This allows you to build higher, and take on larger projects.

It's a very durable material too, allowing one to use scaffold components many times over.

High safety standards

Steel scaffolds are very stable and provide excellent resistance against wind and other elements. This robustness makes it a very safe metal from which to create scaffolding.

Steel's ability to withstand load pressure also allows it to provide a safe and steady work platform.

Where steel scaffolding can be used

Steel scaffolding is particularly good for long-term projects that require heavy materials to be moved up and down. Steel is the most reliable material to use for height and scale.

  • Load bearing strength

    Steel scaffolding can carry higher loads. It has the inherent strength to support all of the weight of its upper levels. This allows you safely build taller.
  • Durability

    Steel scaffolding also has a long lifespan, and withstands the elements very well. With corrosion-protection coating it can be used over and over and last for years.
  • Sustainability

    Steel's durability also makes it a more environmentally sustainable material. It doesn't cause deforestation like timber does, and saves on natural resources during its production.
