Grettings from Sweden

aom: I am finding it quite hard to translate the words at the moment, must be tired. I work with everything from ordinary scaffolds for changing of roofs to chemical plants and such, it changes every week. At the moment I am working on a new site, three resident houses, four floor each so not to big.
We finished putting on the weather cover last Thursday on two of the houses, during the weekend the speed of the wind reached around 30-35 m/s. So guess what I am doing tomorrow?
Thank you both for the welcoming.

RB Welcome to the forum
Celtic: Haki, Layher and Burton is the most common scaffolds, the company I work for (Thyssenkrupp Xervon) Mainly use Modex and Haki.
Jakdan: Hej hej och tack. Var jobbar du någonstans?
How would you guys describe the amount of respect you are treated with when on a build site in England? Are you the TopDogs or are you treated like grunts as we are here in Sweden?

RB if anything goes wrong on a site they blame the scaffolders
even when we are not there

I believe it's not the job that demands respect but the individual, if you let them walk on you they will.
Funny you are here as I just received an e-shot from a Swedish outfit claiming to have developed a new alli system but it looked like Layher to me but it did look very light, have you seen it?
General Manager: Sounds about right then ^^ In Denmark the scaffolders are highly regarded, or so I have been told, Im currently looking over the water trying to find some contacts for work there, anyone have any phone numbers to share?
Frederik: Oh, took me a minute to understand what a makem is, google solved it for me, and where are you from?
aom: Yes you are right about that, its a fine line to walk when you try to keep both yourself and the buyer happy. I am still too young to be taken seriously by many of the bosses I get to work for, at least before they get to know me better.
But the main problem is that the whole Scaffolding part of Sweden is getting walked over. Price on scaffold getting dumped, perks getting withdrawn and performance salary* (*I dont know what you call it over there) is no where to be seen.
Cheap labor from Polen and such places are one of the problem we have, but no one seems interested in doing anything about it.
I could go on for a long time about the problem we have here but I think Ill stick to my plan and head over to Denmark instead,
No I have not head anything about that, would you like to share or is it classified information?

Aha, yeah I have used that a few times, its been around for some time.
But I see on their website that they have just released a type they call Monzon Modular light aluminium so I guess its that one you meant?
Seems nice enough, but I dont like that they dont use the same edge on the cups like Modex does, layher does not have them either.
Are you familiar with those? You can see that the cups have a edge around them so you put the pipe in place and not have to worry that it will fall down even if you dont put the the wedge in place, its very handy.

Welcome.
I haven't done an awful lot with any other system other than cuplok, mostly tube and fit over here and I've certainly never seen the lip round the rosette but I'm sure others will have. What really frightened me was the sight of snow on top of the gear.
