Assembling a mobile scaffold – video

Mobile scaffolding is an effective aid for working safely at height. However, both safety and stability depend entirely on the scaffolding being assembled correctly. For scaffolding erectors, the assembly instructions are perhaps the most important tool for planning and carrying out safe assembly. We also know that many people search online for information on how to assemble mobile scaffolding, which is why we have created a simple instructional video showing how to assemble Instant Span mobile scaffolding – one of the most widely used scaffolding systems in Norway.

Why correct assembly is crucial
Incorrect assembly of scaffolding can lead to serious accidents, personal injury or damage to equipment. When you assemble mobile scaffolding correctly, you ensure that:
The scaffolding is stable and level on all surfaces.
Access to the various levels is easy and safe.
Workers can stand stably and safely on the platforms.
The work area (wall, ceiling, etc.) is easily accessible without unnecessary risk.
Safe use of mobile scaffolding – important tips

To work safely and in accordance with applicable requirements, always remember the following:
Never move the scaffold while anyone is on it.
Check that the platform on the first level is level before continuing to build.
Check the load class and ensure that the total weight (scaffold + equipment + people) does not exceed this.
Always use support legs where required.
Take weather and wind conditions into account when using outdoors. In strong winds, the scaffolding should be anchored to the wall.
Always follow applicable rules, standards and training requirements for working at height.
