Scaffolding Hire in Winchester | Cantilever Scaffolding
L&N Scaffolding, located in Petersfield, is one of the best-known scaffolding companies to operate in the Winchester area. You have probably seen scaffolding erectors at work before and, if you are vigilant by nature, you will see that they use many different towers and systems. Scaffolding hire is our passion, and we work with a complete range of systems too.
The cantilever style is one of the most popular choices with those looking for high-end scaffolding services in our area.
Cantilever scaffolding may not be as common as some other systems but, once we use this method onsite, our customers and clients instantly see the benefits. It is our ability to recommend systems which tie in with the project that makes us one of the most sought-after scaffolding companies in Winchester, and in all surrounding locations across Hampshire.
This blog post takes a closer look at cantilever scaffolding.
Complete Commercial Scaffolding Hire
The cantilever style is widely used in domestic and commercial scaffolding hire packages. It is assembled and disassembled easily, so it is just as popular with our scaffolding erectors as it is with our customers. The cantilever design offers an exceptional level of protection and support, which makes it easier for contractors to access hard-to-reach areas.
When you use our scaffolding services in Winchester and we recommend the cantilever style, you will see that we never need to use poles directly in front of the structure.
Scaffolding companies and erectors often use the cantilever method when there are obstacles or walking routes blocking access to part of the structure being worked on. Ease of assembly and disassembly make cantilever scaffolding more cost-effective in areas which aren’t very accessible.
The 3-in-1 Rule
Health and safety play an important role in the lives of all scaffolding companies, not just those in and around the Winchester area. The cantilever system is one of the safest used by our scaffolding erectors, but this doesn’t mean that we don’t have to take as many precautions as we possibly can to create and sustain a safe working environment.
This explains why we use the 3-in-1 rule.
The basis of this rule is that, when providing a scaffolding hire service, the total working height of the system must be three times the overall distance of the narrowest section of the base. If scaffolders don’t follow the 3-in-1 rule, it is critical that they support the tower using guide wires. In doing so, they keep the entire structure stable and secure.
