An aluminum scaffold is a lightweight structure designed for safe work at height.

Thanks to its lower weight, aluminum scaffolds are easy to move and quick to assemble. You typically use aluminum mobile scaffolds for painting, facade maintenance, or tasks around dormers. Both professionals and DIY users frequently rely on these scaffolds, including special stairwell scaffolds for height differences or indoor work.

The advantages of aluminum scaffolds

Aluminum scaffolds are popular because of their low weight, rust resistance, and easy assembly. They offer greater convenience compared to wooden scaffolds, which are heavier and require more maintenance. Compared to steel scaffolds, which rust more quickly, aluminum versions score better in terms of durability. This makes them an ideal choice for safe, long-term use both indoors and outdoors.

Which types of aluminum scaffolds does Custers offer?

• Aluminum mobile scaffold: versatile and easy to move

• Facade scaffold: ideal for facade work and painting jobs

• Dormer scaffold and roof scaffold: for safe work on roofs and dormers

• Stair scaffold: specially designed for stairwells or height differences

• Stair tower: safe vertical access at height

• Folding scaffold: compact scaffold for quick setup on smaller jobs

• Walkways: safe connection between scaffolds or platforms

How do you choose the right mobile scaffold for your project?

When choosing the right mobile scaffold, consider working height, platform dimensions, and job location. For painting or facade maintenance, a facade scaffold or window scaffold is suitable. Working indoors in a stairwell? Then a stairwell scaffold is essential. For work on roofs or dormers, choose a dormer scaffold or roof scaffold with specific height and stability.

What are safe assembly methods?

Custers uses safe assembly systems such as Safe Guard and Mobile Guard to ensure safety during the assembly and disassembly of aluminum scaffolds. With these systems, you always install guardrails before stepping onto the next platform. This minimizes fall hazards—especially important for DIY users who often have less experience with scaffold assembly.

Which scaffold components are essential for safe work at height?

Essential components include stabilizers, guardrails, toe boards, and wheels with brakes. Stabilizers keep the aluminum mobile scaffold firm and stable, while guardrails and toe boards prevent accidental falls. Wheels with strong brakes are necessary to prevent the scaffold from moving during use.

What is the difference between a facade scaffold and a dormer scaffold?

When should you choose a facade scaffold?

A facade scaffold is mainly used for safe maintenance or renovation work on facades. These scaffolds are wide and suitable for working at various heights, such as painting or facade insulation.

When is a dormer scaffold the best choice?

A dormer scaffold is specifically designed for work around dormers or sloped roofs. Thanks to adapted components and stable platforms, this scaffold offers optimal safety and accessibility on sloping roofs.

How do you maintain aluminum scaffolds?

To properly maintain aluminum scaffolds and extend their lifespan, clean them regularly and check for damage. Remove dirt or concrete residues to prevent corrosion. Lubricate wheels and moving parts regularly. Store scaffold components in a dry place and ensure safe storage to avoid deformation or damage.

Why does Custers comply with standards and certifications?

Custers meets strict standards and certifications to guarantee the safety and reliability of aluminum scaffolds. This includes legal requirements such as the EN 1004 standard for mobile scaffolds. By conducting regular independent inspections and tests, customers can trust that scaffolds like facade scaffolds, dormer scaffolds, and stair towers meet the highest safety standards. This provides users with confidence and reduces the risk of accidents when working at height.
