Kwikstage Scaffolding: The #1 choice for reliability and safety - KwikUp

Versatility

The primary utility of the modular Kwikstage system is that it allows for the platforming to be altered to suit different shapes, allowing easier access to certain structures. The system is made up of several modular components that make it simple to modify the platforming to suit the project as it changes.

The Kwikstage system has been explicitly designed so that it can be adapted to different situations and accommodate the changing needs of contemporary worksites, where the work done at heights is only becoming more elaborate with each passing year. Workers demand a safe, flexible, and easy-to-use system – this product meets these needs.

Ease of use

One reason why Kwikstage scaffolding is so popular with tradespeople from all backgrounds is due to the simplicity of erecting and tearing it down. It is a fasten-free system that is assembled in a series of individual grids. In a single move, four horizontal brackets can be attached to a single pressing, significantly speeding up the process of erecting the system.

Far fewer workers are required to set up Kwikstage scaffolding than would be needed for a traditional product, which helps you save money in labour costs and reduces liability.

The KwikUP difference

At KwikUP, we specialise in the supply of Kwikstage scaffolding systems for use by Australia construction firms that need a safe, reliable, and flexible platforming solution. Our unrivalled expertise when it comes to the specifics of this brand makes us your more reliable choice when it comes to erecting and modifying this excellent product.

We enjoy working with firms who that make routine use of scaffolding systems and are looking for a way to reduce costs, enhance worker safety, and bring a higher level of flexibility in how they approach new and existing projects. At KiwkUP, we love seeing the look of surprise our customers have when they realise how much money they can save by owning a Kiwkstage scaffolding system, rather than continuing to hire expensive products which must be returned post-project.

The components we supply are made with low carbon steel, making it far more malleable while still retaining strength. This means that parts can bend to accommodate the pressures of the worksite, rather than crack or snap like a traditional system is liable to do. Obviously, this makes the scaffolding system much safer for workers, especially over long periods, where the platform will remain in the same configuration for several months at a time.

At KwikUP, we carry the full suite for compatible Kwikstage components, giving you the maximum amount of versatility to tackle any project. Take a look at our product range for yourself.

I've looked for guidance on build tolerances for scaffolding , but can't find any (scaffolder forums).

SWMBO says 3mm on the horizontal diagonal in any single (2.44m)  bay is fine. I say less than 5 is fine.  Result: polite war.

Am I dead?

You’ll be surprised how out of upright you can get away with, if it falls over you went a bit too far ?

but seriously i waould say 25mm over that distance will be fine. Imagine the Center of gravity, then imagine how far you would have to push it to get it over its tipping point. It’s the same with diggers. 

Put it all up planks and all so it's roughly level then do your final adjustments with the Jack legs to get it as close as you can. Don't be afraid to wedge a plank from the ground diagonally up so it catches a star on the standard. It will steady it up a lot. 

Wear a hat when you are taking it down or the dust will drive you insane.

I just used builders that I knew who were not bothered. Indeed they altered the scaffold as and when they needed to.  As it happens, I didn't have enough to scaffold my whole house, so the back and 2 ends were done with my Kwikstage, and the front they used their own Cuplock scaffold. NONE of it was erected by professional scaffolders and none had a weekly check.

I do find the use of system scaffold like Kwikstage and Cuplock much more common here in Scotland, and it is also very common for small builders to just bring and erect their own.

Weekly check is an odd one and only ever seems to happen on large sites. I prefer a daily check, and I used to go over all of ours with a hammer and knock the wedges in every day to check it was all tight. Its a 10 minute job but really makes the whole lot feel safer.
