Swinging Stages

The modular system is based on 1-metre, 2-metre and 3-metre lengths, which can be assembled in any configuration from 1 to 16 metres in height, providing on-site flexibility for many applications.

They are ideal work platforms in almost every area of construction and maintenance involving a wide range of trades because of their versatility, safety, and user-friendly operating systems.

Modular Swinging Stages can be quickly assembled on-site and can cope with awkward-shaped buildings or difficult access areas, such as corners and curved sections, using standard options.

Additional options include:

• Meshed-in panels for side protection
• Overhead protection units
• Wall roller for building face protection
• Wire winders, where dangling wires are a hazard
