Scaffolding or hoist?
Working at height is not just about constructing modern buildings. It's also about changing the decoration in a shop, tidying up a warehouse or fixing a new logo on the facade of a building. For most of these jobs, you need more professional equipment than a simple ladder. Many people wonder whether it is better to hire a lift or scaffolding in such cases. Let's take a closer look at this problem.
Scaffolding
Construction machinery rental companies usually also have scaffolding rental and advice on scaffolding selection in their offer. Therefore, even if we are not sure what scaffolding we need for a particular task, the employees of the respective rental company would design everything for us and, on top of that, help with the assembly and disassembly of the scaffolding. However, erecting scaffolding is time-consuming and the structures must meet certain legal requirements. Therefore, hiring them is recommended for longer, complex jobs. For simple tasks, hiring a lift would be a better choice.
Lift
Working with an elevator requires less effort. By simply selecting the right model, you can conveniently change the decoration even inside a tall hall. Among other things, the lifts are available in quiet, electrically driven versions so that you can work on them without disturbing others. The hoist is simply placed where you want to work and moved to other locations as required. When choosing a lift, we need to pay attention to its working height and whether the device is to work indoors or outdoors. It is also important to consider its range of movement: for some jobs, an up-and-down movement is sufficient, while for others you will need to be able to move it from side to side. If you are going to be putting a lot of strain on the machine, make sure it has a load capacity. A lift is a better choice for jobs that will not last long and do not require the installation of professional scaffolding. If you are still hesitating about what to choose for the work you are planning, it is worth consulting an experienced construction equipment hire company.
