Difficult Access Scaffolding Hire Solutions


We specialise in creating safe access solutions for challenging locations where standard scaffolding setups aren't feasible. Our expert team tackles complex structural challenges with precision-engineered scaffolding systems.


Types Of Difficult Access Scenarios


Narrow alleyways between buildings present unique challenges that we solve with cantilever scaffolding designs and minimal footprint bases. Heritage buildings with delicate facades need carefully engineered tie points and load distribution to protect historical features while providing necessary access. Steep terrain and uneven ground conditions require custom base plates and adjustable components to create level working platforms.


Custom Scaffold Designs For Limited Spaces


We utilise 3D modelling software to plan precise scaffold configurations that maximise available space in confined areas. Our modular system components can be configured in multiple arrangements to work around existing structures and obstacles. Mobile scaffold towers with narrow bases provide flexible access solutions in tight spaces while maintaining stability requirements. Cantilever sections extend working platforms over obstacles without compromising structural integrity.

Height And Confined Area Safety Standards


We strictly adhere to AS/NZS 1576 regulations for all confined space scaffolding installations. Our safety measures include additional tie points, enhanced bracing, and regular structural inspections for high-rise confined spaces. Fall protection systems feature double guardrails, toe boards, and safety netting where required by regulations. Emergency access and evacuation routes are incorporated into every confined space design.


Specialist Access Equipment Used


Our equipment fleet includes lightweight aluminium components specifically designed for confined space assembly. Quick-lock mechanisms and tool-free connections reduce setup time in restricted areas. Adjustable base plates and screw jacks enable precise levelling on uneven surfaces.


We maintain specialist equipment including:

  • Compact electric hoists
  • Low-profile platform wheels
  • Narrow-width walkways
  • Custom corner brackets
