Comparison of Advantages and Disadvantages between Aerial Work Platform and Traditional Scaffolding

In the aerial work industry, the traditional scaffolding has been gradually replaced by aerial work platform. The reason is that aerial work platform is superior to traditional scaffolding in portability, efficiency, safety, practicality and even cost.

1, portable and efficient

Scaffolding needs to transport a large number of steel pipes and other materials, and it needs a lot of manpower and material resources to install and dismantle them manually. Depending on the size of the construction project, it often takes at least 2 working days. The aerial work vehicle equipment can be used when it arrives, and can be evacuated without disassembly after the operation is completed, saving a lot of construction time.

2. Safety

Scaffolding is made of multiple steel pipes with too many connection points. Moreover, the quality requirements of steel pipes are strict, which requires professionals to carry out safety inspection and technicians to evaluate and construct the safety factor. The endless scaffold collapse accidents every year show its low safety. The aerial work platform truck is produced in strict accordance with the national and regional aerial work platform production requirements and standards, and the quality is strictly controlled. Choose a big brand aerial work platform without worrying about safety hazards. According to relevant statistics, with the popularity of aerial work platforms, the risk of aerial work has been reduced by about 80%.

Step 3 be practical

Scaffolding is fixed after completion. If it is to be raised or extended left and right, it can only be built continuously, which needs the evaluation of safety technicians. Moreover, people need to climb up and down, the limited space of scaffolding is poor, and the narrow space can not work efficiently. The height of aerial work vehicle can be adjusted freely within the support range, and it has its own power device that can move left and right. Moreover, the occupied area of the equipment is much smaller, and the equipment can pass through a narrow space, so the working range and flexibility are very high.

4. expenses

The cost we emphasize here is mainly reflected in reducing the accident rate. Effectively reducing the accident rate is the biggest cost saving! We often see in news videos that some workers choose scaffolding or other cables, which leads to safety accidents. An accident will lead to casualties, lawsuits, delays, fines, production suspension, rectification and other chain reactions. This cost is unbearable for many small and medium-sized construction parties!
