Why don't you board from underneath?
 
That's how we do it marra, make the rules work for you. I must admit, boarding from below is a pain, systems not bad but with tube I sometimes just leave out the last transom. Not ideal but keeps the bods of your back.

Cos it's a pain in the erse.
 
Every man to his own swifty, but I have always found it easier to hook my tape pouch to the back of a standard and fire them straight down. It took me a long time to board from below.
 
Defo easier from above, especially if you get a job like ours where the lifts are planned, what a fecker trying to get boards through them from below.
 
Exactly, like everything else though it will be what you are used to.
 
I must be missing something here or I'm on the wrong thread:eek:h:
 
Not sure, I'm talking about walking on bare steel, getting the boards passed up to your hands then laying. I assume you have always stood on a boarded lift and laid them through the steel the way we all do now?
 
I would rather get the boards up myself why someone else is getting the gear ready for the rail or next lift.
2 men to 1 board seems a waste of manpower, but that's just me.
 
I think the step is the best thing that's ever come into scaffolding its safe and super to use but I lie!!! its slow and hard work you tend to cheat and lean over rather than walk down the step and move it over to next bay!!! think most firms that are with nasc have signed up but I no not many use it!! its slow what ever you look at it!!! anybody that uses it must put a good price in to compensate the lose in men hours!!

And I still think there is a "Y" missing.
 
Its a toss-up between the step and fecking brickgauards as the worst thing in scaffolding..........mmmm na the step wins as we use plastic brickgaurds now

You should see the young team go at it, the right young team that don't know anything else, none too shabby I can tell you. It's more my age that struggle with it speed wise and as I said, I still hate threading boards through the lift.

Don't listen to that muppet, he couldn't hit a barn door with a machine gun. ;)
 
I tend to disregard anything anyone from that company says.
