OUR MENUFECTRING COMPONENTS  Scaffolding is a temporary structure installed against the side of a building, around a chimney, etc. to provide platforms for workers and materials during construction, maintenance, etc. Although there are many varieties of scaffolding systems, a common one is called independent tube and coupling scaffolding – popular because it transports efficiently, erects intuitively, and breaks down easily. Other scaffolding designs are used inside facilities for worker access to overhead equipment, for painting, etc. These designs are usually limited in height but have other features such as the ability to fold or telescope. Still, other scaffolds are available for specialized tasks such as building aircraft.Scaffolding must adhere to OSHA standards for performance requirements and structural design methods. Because scaffolding must be compatible with a wide array of buildings and structures, there are numerous kinds of scaffolds to meet specific building requirements. However, scaffolding generally comprises some basic elements, though the manner in which they are designed and the way such elements fit together can vary.
