The practical reference handbook for choosing, installing, maintaining, and profiting from scaffolding systems.
About this book
Scaffolding is temporary but not trivial. Whether you're managing a construction project, running a rental operation, maintaining a facility, or starting a scaffolding business, you need to understand the systems you're working with—not just follow a checklist.
This handbook gives you the knowledge professionals rely on: what scaffolding is and how it actually works, how to select the right type for your specific load and site conditions, how to install and inspect it correctly, how to maintain it and fix problems before they fail, and how to evaluate and work with suppliers. You'll also find concrete guidance on building a scaffolding business, whether through rental, sales, service, or consulting.
Written for contractors, construction managers, facility professionals, and anyone serious about understanding scaffolding as a system—not as marketing or theory.

★★★★★This is exactly what I needed. I've been managing jobsites for eight years and always felt like I was piecing together scaffolding knowledge from manuals, safety meetings, and word-of-mouth. Chapter 1 alone clarified how different types actually distribute loads—the tube-and-clamp versus frame comparison clicked immediately. The selection chapter saved me on my last project: I spec'd the wrong type initially and the walkthrough helped me catch it before rental. Serious book for serious work.
