With the improvement of people' s safety awareness and the government' s requirements for construction safety, people' s demand for construction safety is increasing. For example, the building industry in NZ is going through a lot of safety changes at present. There is a lot of demand for scaffold because of the Government Safety Bylaws requiring all building contractors to install scaffold when working at a height of 3 meters and higher. There is a Government requirement to put up a platform around all building structures when pitching a new roof or re-roofing.

In china, with the gradual rise of the construction industry, people’s demand for scaffold is also growing. However, how to choose a suitable scaffold? Here are some tips for your reference.

Firstly, what is the scaffold for? Are you going to use the scaffold to install the lights or paint the walls? Only know what are you going to do then you can select a suitable scaffold.

Secondly, what is your operating height? For example, if you want to use the scaffold to install the lights, the most important thing is you need to know the specific height of the lights.
