When is buying a scaffold worthwhile compared to renting?

Buying is usually worthwhile from a few months of use. While renting means paying for time, buying from CETRAC means paying for the material - and the resale value is your biggest financial advantage. Calculate it with our single-family house calculator or read our guide 'Buy or rent a scaffold? The big comparison 2026'.

Which scaffolding system is safest for facade work?

For classic facade work, a system or frame scaffold with advance guardrail is considered the safest and most field-proven solution. For complex facade shapes, a modular scaffold offers the highest level of safety thanks to maximum adaptability.

What is the safest scaffolding system?

There is no single scaffolding system that is universally the safest. Safety comes from the right system for the specific application, combined with standard-compliant assembly and accessories according to DIN/EN and TRBS.

How do I calculate the load class for my scaffold?

The load class of a scaffold is determined by the maximum area load (kN/m2) acting on one scaffold level at a time - i.e. people plus material plus equipment. The basis is DIN EN 12811-1. Use our load class calculator for a quick answer.

How do I secure a scaffold against unauthorised access?

A scaffold must be secured so that unauthorised persons cannot access it, especially outside working hours. The relevant rules are TRBS 2121-1, DGUV Information 201-011 and the general duty to maintain safety.

What is the difference between load class 1, 2 and 3 for scaffolding?

The difference lies in the permissible load per scaffold level and therefore in which work is allowed on the scaffold. This is regulated in DIN EN 12811-1.
