Platform Scaffolding


Platform scaffolding, also known as material extraction platform, is a system that must be installed on the construction sites of high-rise constructions.

The use of platform scaffolding system is one of the most important factors in ensuring the safety of life at the construction site. Material removal platforms ensure that the construction site is transported to the upper floors, not only to ensure life safety, but also to the upper floors. It also provides significant convenience in transporting mold materials that are especially difficult to transport to the upper floors.

It is essential that the loads carried by the cranes used in the constructions are safely delivered to the upper floors. It is not possible for cranes to drop heavy materials directly to the floor due to their architecture. For this reason, a facade platform is installed on the facade parts of the floors in order to receive materials safely. Cranes drop the materials onto the facade platforms and deliver the load to the floors.

The scaffolding system raises many floors of the brick to be carried by the personnel at once, by pressing a single button. Thus, you will both save time and make a big profit.

Use of Platform Scaffolding

One of the main jobs in the construction site is the safe method of removing the materials from a finished floor to the upper floors. Especially being able to transport much heavier mold materials is a great challenge for workers and creates a heavy load.

Some of the methods applied to bring materials to the upper floor with platform scaffolding in construction sites today are as follows:

Transport with material receiving platforms installed on the side facades,
Transport with pulley systems installed by workers,
Manual handling by workers,
Transportation with construction elevators,
According to the ways of transporting the materials used in the construction to the upper floors, using the material handling platform will not only make it easier for the workers, but also will protect their life safety and prevent them from taking unnecessary risks.

Terms of Use of Platform Scaffolds

Since the use of platform scaffolding is directly related to occupational safety, it must comply with certain rules for use.

All mechanical tests must be performed on the system.
The beams in the system must be correctly extended to both parts.
It is necessary to control the beam connection points in the system.
The base and side parts of the system must be closed with safe guardrails.
Welding should be done according to EN ISO 3834-3 standards.
It must be produced from pipes and profiles with TS EN 10219-1 certificate.
Maximum load limits need to be determined.
