Setting up a scaffolding tower by yourself can be a challenging task. The first base section is usually the trickiest part if you don’t have any help holding the frames while connecting diagonal and horizontal braces.
To remedy this problem you can get a scaffolding tower with a folding base. These bases just folds up and are very easy to handle. Scaffold USA have several different types of aluminum folding scaffolding. The simplest folding model is called Aluspeed. This model is used at the smaller jobs where you don’t need any adjustable legs or platform heights over 12 ft. Aluspeed is available only as Single Wide and 6 ft long.
Next up is the more advanced Quick-Base folding scaffolding base. The Quick-Base can be used to replace any of the Single Wide or Double Wide bases in the Alufase family.
The Quick-Base compared to Aluspeed comes with horizontal braces that folds, support adjustable legs, single or double width and is available 6, 8 and 10 ft long. The Quick-Base is an optional upgrade available to most scaffolding packages offered by Scaffold USA.
The most advanced folding scaffolding is called Alufold. It is especially made to fit through narrow passages and has whole sections that folds up. You can find more information about Alufold Tank Scaffolding here.
