stilladser

Stilladser are temporary structures used in construction, maintenance, and renovation projects. They provide a safe and stable platform for workers to access elevated areas. These structures are typically made from modular components, commonly steel or aluminum, which are assembled on-site. The primary purpose of a stillads is to support workers, materials, and tools at heights that would otherwise be inaccessible.

There are various types of stilladser, each designed for specific applications. Mobile stilladser, often mounted on wheels, offer flexibility for moving around a site. Fixed stilladser are more permanent and are erected for longer-term projects. Cantilevered stilladser are used when the base of the structure cannot be placed on the ground. Suspended stilladser are hung from above, typically from buildings or bridges.

The safe erection, dismantling, and use of stilladser are paramount. Regulations and standards dictate their design, construction, and inspection to prevent accidents. Proper training for workers who erect and use stilladser is essential. Components of a stillads include standards (vertical supports), ledgers (horizontal members), transoms (cross members), and working platforms, often made of wooden planks or metal decking. Guardrails and toe boards are also critical safety features.
