Construction Scaffold is a device in the form of a suspended platform with railings, designed for lifting workers with hand tools and loads engaged in the finishing of building facades. The scaffold consists of the following components:

• A platform with railings for placing people and cargo.
• Two consoles.
• Load-bearing ropes, one for each console.
• Two safety ropes.
• Mechanisms for raising/lowering the cargo platform – two units.
• Safety devices (catchers) – two units.
• A control system for the lifting mechanisms.

Typically, the rental of a construction scaffold assumes the use of a mechanism designed for 150 kg for one person and 300 kg for two persons, with a lifting height of up to 100 m. If necessary, a construction scaffold rated for a load of 600 – 800 kg can be rented.

To rent a construction scaffold with the required specifications, it is sufficient to look at its designation, which indicates the lifting height and load capacity, following the letter index and modification number. The maximum speed of movement should not exceed 10 m/min. The maximum lifting height is 100 m (for 4 persons) and 150 m (for 1 or 2 persons). The diameter of the ropes must be at least 7 mm, with a resource of at least 3200 m-hours.

The lifting/lowering of the cargo platform occurs with continuous pressing of the control button. When ordering a construction scaffold, there is no need to worry about the safety of the workers. Despite the work being carried out at great heights, facade hoists are equipped with all necessary safety devices. They are fitted with limit switches and a duplicated manual lowering mechanism. Each winch is equipped with two independent automatic brakes. The torque from the electric motor to the winch is transmitted through a gear or worm drive. The use of couplings or other types of drives is prohibited.

When arranging the rental of a construction scaffold, pay attention to the railings. The minimum height of the railings on non-working sides must be 1.2 m, and on the working side, it must be 1.0 m. The installation of doors is not permitted. In the event of a rope break, the catchers must stop the scaffold no later than after a drop of 0.15 m.

Facade hoists are frequently used for external finishing work, making the rental of construction scaffolds an attractive option for small companies to fulfill orders without purchasing this equipment. For companies that perform such work regularly, leasing a construction scaffold may be a suitable option. This represents a long-term rental (6 months or more) with the right to purchase at residual value afterward.
