Was just wondering how much 84sq is in ton

But rather then a 10x10 scaffold

I wanna no the weight of 84sq if 2 sq has 3 boarded lifts @ 5x2inside (7 boards) wide.

The idiot site agent (ex brickie) reckons he worked it out to 5 ton, which is totally wrong unless all alloy, I was thinking more like 19 ton?

Anyone help with this

Thanks

You can work it out yourself.

Tube (S255) - allow 4.4kg/m
Board - allow 5.0kg/m
Doubles/Swivel/Sleeve - allow 1.10kg/each
Single/Spigot - allow 0.60kg/each
 
Sorry dont understand the size....give me the length and height I will calculate it for you, have a nifty spreadsheet...
 
Jason, that's pretty poor

I reckon Ben Flynn could do at least double that. He doesn't use tube he uses beams as well

:D
 
21 ft ladder beam as standards pulling them up on ginny only uses lab to tie them on if that right must of seen yan of his jobs lol
 
Tell the c@nt to fcuk right off, what the fcuk does a fcukin brickie know about weights anyway they think they can drop a full pallet of brick and muck on a light duty job.:mad:

Base out is 2.1metre the another 2 boarded lifts @ 2 metres, it's 5 boards wide plus 2 inside boards, standard spacing every 6ft. Then a 3ft tempory lift at top for roofers.
 
Ok, I'm not from London so don't understand 'squares'...lol.

But, that scaffold weighs:
3 lifts = 0.31T per m along its length (eg: 10m long would be 3.1T)
4 lifts = 0.41T per m along its length

Whilst on the subject - could someone explain what a 'square' is...
 
Aha! I see...thanks for that. I am from the Midlands...only seems to be London scaffolders who quote the "square"
 
Hi Essex
If you are referring to 84 scaffold squares (10' x 10') then its around 61.5 ton of kit (taken at 26' high 4 lifts) but if you mean metric square metres then the same height of 8m will drop the weight to around 6.5 ton, according to my scaffold workout calculator. hope this helps
 
Dont what it weighs but if i was striking it it would go on one 18 tonne lorry load , so it must weigh 10 tonne ;)
 
haha, sounds about right to me.:noworry:
