Does Fibreglass really hold up against Aluminium?

Fibreglass scaffolding also generally falls into the category of Light Duty ratings, This means that fibreglass scaffolding has a SWL=225kg, but normally a design height of 4–6 metres. Fibreglass has nowhere near the longevity of Aluminium. It is a lighter product to handle than Aluminium, although both systems could be classified as very light and

How is the rating attained?

Before manufacturing, an engineer will draft out the specifications of the scaffolding components. Decisions on materials, manufacturing methods, purpose of design, and specifications of the finished products will all be taken into consideration at the initial stages. Once a plan for the scaffolding system has been adopted, generally, an engineer will use software such as CAD to draw a 3D simulation of the completed tower. Using other software and engineering principles, the engineer

Grades of Aluminium and Castings used in Scaffolding

In Australia, the quality or identification of metals and castings used for aluminium scaffolding, is controlled by the Australian Standards. These are comprehensive guidelines, to the metallurgical properties (chemical composition, makeup etc), that a material must possess to be classified as a specific material. The controlling Australian Standards are summarized usually in tables, and sorted
