E
leven of the Lambson’s Hire branches
have a dedicated range of alumini-
um scaffolding products available,
including steppers, mobile folding towers
and scaffolding. “We have introduced the
new products in our ongoing effort to en-
sure that the construction, industrial, min-
ing, DIY/building and related industries have
easy access to the latest trends and devel-
opments in equipment. This is particularly
important to encourage adherence to strin-
gent health and safety standards and to help
reduce costs and boost productivity,” Devin
van Zyl, CEO of Lambson’s Hire, says.
The aluminium scaffolding from Lambson’s
Hire is a high quality, hassle free product
that is safer, lighter and faster to erect and
dismantle, with rest platforms every 2 m.
This product is lightweight and easy to ma-
noeuvre, and can be conveyed on a half ton
bakkie or light trailer for ease of transporta-
tion. The platform heights range from 2.3 m
up to 10.7 m.
Aluminium steppers are manufactured from
6061-T6 aluminium and feature five working
heights for all applications, easy folding for
storage, a 300 mm step distance, a 200 kg
safety load and an anti slip platform. Plat-
form heights range from 320 to1250 mm.
Mobile folding towers boast a new design
innovation where the tower windows closes
automatically. The automatic locking hook
has an easy release design while the anti
slip platform is 10 mm thick plywood with
a high quality birch core. The safety load is
280 kg and the step distance is 280 mm.
Additional features include adjustable cas-
tors for ease of movement and outrigger
stabilisers for increased safety. They have a
maximum platform height of 1.8 m with a
working height of 3.6 m.
“One of the most important aspects of alu-
minium scaffolding is that it is aesthetically
pleasing, especially seeing that it is often
used in maintenance activities in shopping
malls, offices and other similar develop-
ments,” van Zyl says. “Scaffolding that is
visible is essentially on public display and
therefore has to look presentable.”
Another feature of aluminium scaffolding is
its structural integrity, which is a critical as-
pect of health and safety compliance. “This
applies to the individual components and
sections that make up the various scaffold-
ing products, which range from steppers to
mobile folding platforms and scaffolding.”
Lambson’s Hire has stringent procedures
in place to ensure that all frames and re-
lated components are operational and ful-
ly compliant with all safety standards and
regulations. “It is important not to compro-
mise on safety, which is why any scaffolding
returned from a rental is subjected to this
safety and quality assurance process,” van
Zyl emphasises.
