Temporary Demountable Structures

Staging for all purposes

This staging can be made to any specifications, and used for most purposes, to begin with we were contacted by the photography industrial to design and build a suitable construction that would be light and durable enough, to be transported easily and that could be erected and disassemble quickly and efficiently by a minimum number of people.
Two designs have arisen out of our investigations into this field.  The first staging units we manufactured were all aluminium design and although completely matched and fulfilled all specifications did however appear to be a tad on the expensive side.  The second more cost effective method of obtaining this design was to mix very strong light gauge electrically seam welded mild steel box section for the main frame of the construction and to have these components galvanised.  The remainder of the staging i.e. treads and walkways for strength and efficiency were constructed from aluminium
Chequer plate.

        Sizes        

The staging units can be constructed to any size that is required, the reason for this is all components are manufactured in a uniform manner.  For instance the staging erects in bays of five steps, each 8' long with a main frame at each end, after the first five steps are erected another frame can be added and another five platforms can be installed and so on.  This can go on for as long as your requirements need.  In addition it has to be remembered that the frame to the immediate left and the immediate right must be of the type with handrails. After this has been done the back rails must be installed to stop people falling off the back.  If however you still need more surface area the option is there to go up a further five steps. Because all components are uniform in their design the back rail can be removed. A jack up kit fitted to the rear off the terrace and then the same frames used below will locate directly on to the bottom frames at the point where the back rails were located. A further five platforms can now be fitted. When this is done the back rails can be refitted on to the top five set of treads giving you ten treads high by your desired width as illustrated in all photographs.(photographs are links to larger pictures)

     
The reason for the staging being designed in this manner is for ease of erection and dismantling and ease of transport.
