Round my way,there is a house with loading bay for a new roof job. The working platform is cantilevered by a metre on one side,and about 1500mm on the other. Handrails are punched in,no spurs. The long side looks to have dropped. Whats the max overhang recommended.
 
Built a cantilever loading bay with sgb in the 90s. We used ladder beams for spurs and had more steel in it than Blackpool tower.
 
We always done canterleverd loading bays years ago , just used ladder beams and and well pulled back spurs , never seen any problems with them as long as they where tied proper
 
Looks a real dogs dinner.They must have run out of the right length tubes on the top lift and boards too.The return is handrailed off so they cant walk on the outside 6 boards....what a mess.
 
Thats premier league scaffolding compared with a lot of the crap getting erected in Bradford
 
just hope mrs smith next door does not need to open her window in a hurry...check out the inside boards round the bay....the whole job is a pile of sh!t...looks like they have put tubes off the tiles on the bay as a very poor attempt at a push off..
 
what a foo kin mess, what is the return all about. the bloke must need lots of horlicks to sleep at night after puttin that jocker up...
 
looks like ladders free standing to.wouldnt like to get near top and have it bounce off its rubbers.:eek:
two ladder beams down side,and looks like two more going round the back,can only imagine whats around the back.

Why is there beams on the gable on the second lift but then come out about 8 feet on the return with no beams? Another thing, this seems to be more a Scottish/English thing but why is the ladder facing the job, ours all go the other way?
 
Probly cos its on a slope Aom, That right hands returns great aint it. A spur would have helped.
