We’re sure that you’re familiar with scaffolding. It’s everywhere you look around Sydney. But what do you know about swing stages?
WHAT IS A SWING STAGE?
A swing stage is a 2 point suspended access platform which is typically supported by a temporary work free-standing rostrum at the top. The working platform has the ability to raise and lower to the required height by using a pair of electric traction hoists with flexible steel wire ropes running through the hoists, so therefore require fewer parts than a scaffold designed to cover the same working area.
WHY USE A SWING STAGE?
Swing stages are an effective and safe means of accessing high level works without the need to install a scaffold or tie to a building and minimise disturbance to the daily operations of your building or project
They provide a safe, fast and cost effective method of getting the right tradesman to the right point at the right time on your project whether it’s on a façade or within an industrial plant.
Because swing stages require fewer parts than a scaffold designed to cover the same working area, swing stages are considerably faster to install and are generally a more cost effective option for certain tasks. Typical advantages include:
- Reduced manual handling risks compared to scaffolding
- Rapid installation times can aid project schedule
- Reduced labour and transport costs compared to scaffolding
- No tying to the building structure is required
