Truss out Cantilever Scaffolds

Cantilevered scaffolds are a specialized type of independent standing scaffolding that extends outward from a building or structure using cantilevered beams such as RS beams, Unit Beams, or Ladder Beams. Unlike conventional scaffolding, which relies on ground support, these structures are anchored to the building, allowing access to challenging areas where traditional scaffolding may not be practical. Their construction follows strict Best Practice Guidelines to ensure stability, safety, and load-bearing efficiency. Given the complex forces at play—including torsional stresses and load distributions—these scaffolds require meticulous planning and must be designed by a chartered ABN Engineer. Such professional oversight guarantees that the scaffold meets regulatory standards, maintains structural integrity, and minimizes risks for workers operating at height.

Suspended / Hanging Scaffolds

A hanging scaffold is a scaffold hung from a structure that is static in the vertical plane; it cannot be raised or lowered by any means. Hanging scaffolds can be hung from tubes, wire ropes, ropes or chains etc. Hanging scaffolds are classified as a special duty scaffold and should be designed and notified as such.

Hanging scaffold foundations are opposite to that of a standing scaffold. Particular attention must be paid to whether the structure the hanging scaffold is to be attached to is able to support the hanging scaffold and its intended loads.

Heavy Duty Scaffolding

ABN scaffold towers and support systems are quick and easy to assemble and can manage heavy loads. Loadings can be increased by using Primary and Secondary Beams, reinforced U- jacks and base jacks, additional bracing and joining standards, all of which are available from us.

ABN scaffold towers and support systems are designed for efficiency, allowing rapid assembly while providing exceptional load-bearing capabilities. Their adaptability makes them ideal for handling heavy loads, with additional reinforcement options such as Primary and Secondary Beams, reinforced U-jacks, and base jacks enhancing their structural integrity. By incorporating extra bracing and joining standards, these scaffolds can withstand demanding conditions and offer superior stability. Where conventional scaffolding towers struggle to support substantial weight, heavy-duty towers and columns step in as a reliable solution. For increased load capacity, individual standards can be strengthened using heavy-duty spindles along with top and bottom collars, ensuring robust support. With a load-bearing capacity of up to 40 kN, these scaffolds provide a secure and efficient framework for complex construction projects.

The inter-frame spacing can be varied in order to provide necessary load-bearing capacity.
Excellent adaptation to different layouts, made possible by variable inter-frame spacing; Upper and lower supports with 50 cm extension range each, for easier height adjustment; The system can be precisely adjusted to any length, width and height.
