Four Different Types of Scaffolding
Builders are not the only ones to need a temporary work platform to construct or maintain a project. There are many different types of scaffolding structures to do the job, but four major types. In addition, within each type there can be the classification of light, medium or heavy duty scaffolding, depending on the job to be done. Light scaffolding holds just a few workers and hand tools; medium supports workers, hand tools and materials, while heavy duty is used for workers, hand tools and stored materials, which means it is strong enough to support sustained weight.
