Construction projects require a wide range of tools and equipment to ensure their success, where these must be used by experienced builders so that the project at hand can be completed to a high standard.
Whether you’re laying foundations, repairing a roof or resurfacing a motorway, this combination of specialist equipment and hands-on expertise is essential for the completion of competent construction work.
A builder’s trestle is just one piece of equipment that can be used to help make a construction project more efficient. Also known as staging, trestles are usually manufactured from steel, where they can be used in conjunction with scaffold boards to create a multi-purpose working platform.
These platforms can be used at height or on the ground for the completion of a range of essential building tasks, including the preparation of materials and tools. Read on to find out more about builder’s trestles, with a look at the benefits of utilising this simple piece of equipment.
Safe Working At Height
One way in which a builder’s trestle can benefit your construction work is by providing a safe platform for working at height. Construction work on tall buildings or rooftops can be perilous, where installing a stable staging area can help to make sure your team is kept safe as they carry out precision building tasks.
Adjustable Platforms
Construction jobs can vary widely in scale, which is why it can be so helpful to have an adjustable platform to work with. Builders' trestles come in a variety of sizes, where some can also be modified to fix them at a specific height. This means that your equipment can be reused as you move between building projects.
Precision Working
Some building projects require heavy lifting and the transportation of bulky infrastructure, whilst other jobs are more precise. Painting and decorating for instance often requires a steady hand, where electrical repairs and roofing work also depends on expert precision. A builder’s trestle can provide a sturdy, comfortable working platform to allow these jobs to be carried out with care, guaranteeing high quality results every time.
