CalvinHobbes Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 It's on a farm so can get it into lorry OK but getting it out is my issue. What about a grab lorry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenki Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Looks like it's on stillages, most farms will have a telle handler, or tractor with forks. Just pick each up and off you go. If your buying from a farmer I'm sure they will help load 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I think unloading it the other end is the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProDave Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I moved mine on a hired 7.5t flatbed when I bought it, all loaded and unloaded by hand. Nothing wrong with Kwikstage like that. The metalwork is almost indestructable. It is the battons (boards) that are the trouble, wooden ones particularly if stored badly can be rotten. I "tested" each of mine by resting the 2 ends of each board on a concrete block each end, and then jumping up and down on the middle of it. Steelstage battons are much better if you can get them. Nothing wrong with using Kwikstage or any other system scaffold like cuplock etc. It's how you put it up that makes it safe or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scaffolds must be designed, erected, altered and dismantled only by competent people and the work should be carried out under the direction of a competent supervisor. https://www.hse.gov.uk/construction/safetytopics/scaffoldinginfo.htm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyT Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I’m agreeing with Dave on this one, fine for a bit if DIY on your own property, but if you have paid contractors utilising it and there is an accident it’s not going to be good. Of course unless it’s erected by a competent person who signs it off and signs the scaff tag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalvinHobbes Posted June 8, 2023 Author Share Posted June 8, 2023 A scaffolder who has been using it with the new boards will be erecting it, doing the uplifts and weekly ticket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
