i have done them years ago stoko ,and i was always told that they are for inspections only .but i have seen them loaded out with slates by roofers and it didnt look pretty 
Hmmm> I know what you mean mate. But have done them 20' high and with all the rakers at the same angle tied at the bottom, intermediate lift and boarded lift they actually do the job well. Darn site quicker to erect as well. Used to them mainly for fascia & soffit jobs. Did see many years ago a temp roof done off one. By a main man in D&R eastern, thought that was going well over the top and taking a risk. But it worked.
That's what it's all about mate!

Ye, pretty sure last one I saw (apart from one a m8 did) was on the road towards Hampton Court off the M3, like I said that was years ago.

For the younger lot...what exactly is a leaner scaffold... I did hear something about this a few years back.
It's a small tower usually 3 lifts where you start with 2 raking tubes against the building with the bottom far enough away to allow you to clock your front uprights onto it. You then lace it up and fix 2 puncheons for the top lift handrail on the inside.
it doesn't save you that much gear apart from a few braces but it's a lot quicker to build than a 4 leg tower and obviously doesn't need any rakers.
Down my way we call them a 'lean-to'
