Buy scaffolding

Scaffolding for construction and industry – versatile and significantly cheaper than buying new. Scaffolding provides safe, stable and ergonomic working platforms at height – whether on façades, building shells, renovation projects or interior fit-out areas. It enables teams to work efficiently, precisely and safely, without compromising on health and safety or productivity.

The benefits of scaffolding in day-to-day construction site operations

1 Maximum safety & compliance with standards

Scaffolding provides safe standing areas and protection against falls, and is therefore a fundamental part of modern site organisation.

2. Efficient workflows at any height

Whether it’s bricklaying, façade installation or finishing work – scaffolding ensures that work areas are accessible, ergonomic and easy to reach.

3. High flexibility & rapid adaptation

Modular scaffolding systems can be adapted to suit different building shapes, heights and construction phases. Ideal for refurbishments, new builds and large-scale projects.

Scaffolding – Typical applications

• Facade work
• Structural work & concrete works
• Roofing work
• Interior Fittings & Installations
• Refurbishments & Modernisations

FAQ – Scaffolding

Ein Arbeitsgerüst ist eine temporäre Konstruktion mit einer durchgehenden, sicheren Arbeitsplattform. Es ermöglicht präzises Arbeiten an Fassaden, Innenwänden, Decken oder Installationsbereichen und bietet Platz für Material, Werkzeug und Personen. Wie der Aufbau Schritt für Schritt funktioniert, zeigt unsere Anleitung: Gerüst richtig aufbauen.

It is required for all tasks where work can no longer be carried out safely from the ground – e.g. painting, installations, drywall fitting, assembly, cleaning or minor façade work.

Arbeitsgerüste sind modular aufgebaut und lassen sich je nach System und Projektanforderung flexibel in der Höhe erweitern. Die einzelnen Ebenen können individuell an die geplante Arbeitshöhe angepasst werden. Welche Lasten dabei zulässig sind, erklären wir in unserem Ratgeber zu den Gerüstlastklassen.

Ein Arbeitsgerüst dient primär dem sicheren Arbeiten und bietet eine ruhige Plattform für feinere Tätigkeiten.
Ein Baugerüst ist robuster, breiter und für mehrere Gewerke gleichzeitig ausgelegt. Es trägt höhere Lasten und eignet sich für komplexere Bauabschnitte.

Safety depends on:

• the system class,
• the side guard,
• correct installation,
• und der Gefährdungsbeurteilung
  ab. Bei fachgerechtem Aufbau bieten Arbeitsgerüste ein sehr hohes Sicherheitsniveau.
