gestellen

Gestellen refers to a type of scaffolding used in construction and industrial settings. These structures are temporary frameworks erected to support workers and materials during the erection, maintenance, and repair of buildings, bridges, and other structures. Gestellen are typically assembled from modular components, allowing for flexibility in design and adaptability to various site requirements. Common materials used in their construction include steel, aluminum, and sometimes timber.

The primary function of gestellen is to provide safe access at heights, enabling workers to perform tasks that would otherwise be impossible or dangerous. They are designed to bear significant loads, distributing weight evenly to prevent structural collapse. Different types of gestellen exist, including mobile towers, facade scaffolds, and suspended scaffolds, each suited to specific applications and site conditions. The assembly and dismantling of gestellen are subject to strict safety regulations to minimize the risk of accidents. Proper training of personnel involved in their erection and use is paramount.
