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.

A swing stage scaffold incorporates a suspended platform capable of being raised or lowered when in use. Other terms often used are ‘suspended cradle’ and ‘swing-stage’ scaffold. They are typically prefabricated modular units but can also be permanently fabricated units
Yes, swing stages offer a fast, cost effective option for many different facade works including window cleaning and maintenance.
A suspended scaffold must be designed by a competent person and must be erected by a person holding an advanced scaffolding or advanced rigging high risk work licence. Operators do not require a licence but must be competent.
The WLL should be clearly marked on the cradle of the suspended scaffold. The WLL of a cradle will depend on factors, for example its length, type of construction and material type. Materials loaded into the cradle should be evenly distributed and not be concentrated in one area.
To prevent overloading, swing-stage operators should verify the mass of the load to be carried by the cradle including people.
Note: On many long swing stages, the load capacity will be severely reduced and only minimal tools and equipment may be able to be carried.
Swing-stage components should be inspected for damage, wear and cracks before use and at pre-determined intervals. Some cracks may not normally be visible to the eye. Non-destructive testing should be performed to check for cracks in high stress areas.
Yes, swing stages offer a fast, cost-effective option for many different facade works including painting.
People located in swing-stage cradles should wear fall arrest harnesses attached to a properly designed anchorage system. A travel restraint system, where a fall is not possible, attached to a static line in the cradle may be used. A thorough risk assessment should be carried out to ensure control measures are in place to eliminate or minimise secondary risks, so far as is reasonably practicable.
Yes, swing stages are a great option for buildings of all shapes and sizes, especially where traditional scaffold is not possible.
A person should be provided with specific training and be competent in how to operate or work with the swing-stage scaffold safely before that person begins using the swing-stage scaffold.
