Scaffold rental explained step by step - Part 2
Staying flexible even when your order books are full to the brim doesn’t have to be difficult. With the option of renting scaffolding instead of buying, you save e.g. storage costs for scaffolding parts that you do not need regularly. We explain our scaffold rental process from use period of the rented scaffolding to the return transport here.
Scaffold rental explained step by step - Part 1
Sometimes you’re planning a project which requires special scaffolding parts you won’t ever need again or the order situation is particularly high and you need to stock up on scaffolding material for a short period of time. In these cases, scaffold rental might just be the right option for you. But how does the scaffold rental process look like, actually? We have summarised the first steps from offer request to the delivery of the rented scaffold here.

The system scaffold explained: why you should have it in your inventory
System scaffolding or modular scaffolding has long since established itself on the global market. Users on the European continent, in Australasia and North and South America appreciate the easy handling, the fast assembly and dismantling times as well as high safety standards of the system scaffold. Read here why you should have it in your inventory.
Tube and clamp scaffold: why this traditional scaffolding type is still popular
Whether you know it as tube and coupler, tube and fitting or tubular scaffold, the tube and clamp scaffold has a long tradition. In this article we take a closer look at the traditional tube and clamp scaffold and answer the question why it has remained on the market until today.
BIM in scaffolding - What suitable software should be able to do
BIM - Building Information Modelling - is not only a great advantage for the construction industry per se, but also for us in scaffolding when it comes to efficient planning and execution of scaffolding projects. In order to use BIM effectively for you and your clients, you need to invest in and prepare a few things. This includes suitable software. We have summarised here what this software should be able to do and why this investment can be worthwhile for you.
How to assemble a scaffold inside an LNG carrier? - Project example [Part 2]
In last week’s post, we introduced you to the challenges the team of Scafom-rux’ client GABADI S.L. faced when assigned with the task of replacing the entire membrane of a 215-meter-long LNG-carrier. A working platform made of 800 tonnes of RINGSCAFF material had to be erected inside the tank for this purpose. Find out here how the scaffolders dealt with the difficult material supply, the octagonal shape of the tank and the sensitive membrane material, and what special role rented material played in the process.
How to assemble a scaffold inside an LNG carrier? - Project example [Part 1]
Small material supply possibilities, harsh weather conditions and cramped or angled working spaces are just some of the challenges faced by scaffolders in the maritime industry. But how do you implement a scaffolding project in shipbuilding and ship maintenance successfully? The project of the Spanish company GABADI S.L. in cooperation with Scafom-rux España shows how the challenges of scaffolding in the maritime industry can be solved.
Three to-dos for scaffolders in winter
Freezing cold, frigid wind, icy scaffolding decks - winter is not likely to win the race for the scaffolder's favourite season. But there are some measures you can take to make your work as safe and pleasant as possible. We have summarised here how you can now combat your new adversaries, ice and cold.
Height rescue: what to do after a fall from the scaffold
When working on scaffolding, safety is of top priority. But despite all safety precautions, you should always be aware of the danger of a possible fall from the scaffold. Even if a fall is arrested by PPE, the accident victim must first be rescued from it before the danger is completely averted. That's why it's important that you and your team are prepared for an emergency. Read here what you need to know about fast and safe height rescue.
What do you need to know about PPE inspections in scaffolding?
Although the use of PPE can help to reduce the number of accidents with serious or even fatal outcomes, it can also involve risks that you should be aware of. In particular, the wear and tear of individual parts can quickly become a safety risk. The good news is that you can prevent this. We explain how to do that here.
Staying safe when working at height: accident prevention on the scaffold
Scaffolding systems today are safer than ever. Technical protective equipment such as TRBS 2121-compliant advanced guardrails or personal protective equipment against falls from a height (PPE) help to significantly reduce the risk of serious accidents in scaffolding. But, as always, good preparation is and remains indispensable. Here you can read about the measures you can take to avoid serious accidents in scaffolding and to prepare yourself for an emergency.
