SAFETY WORK AT HEIGHT 

Are you sometimes in a position where you need to reach a high ceiling? 
Do you work on uneven ground?
Do you use access equipment to repair, paint or build houses?

Metaltech, a Canadian company, has been developing, manufacturing, and selling a wide range of safe, reliable, and innovative products since 1960. Our high-quality access products meet all safety standards and make work easier and faster on all job sites. With Metaltech interior and exterior scaffolding, you will be well-equipped for all your small- and large-scale projects. 
 

When working at height it is important to use the right tools. Exterior scaffolding is the safest solution. 

While using exterior scaffolding, we recommend installing 3 platforms of 19-in side by side to provide a full working deck of 57 in. by 84 in. (4.75 ft. X 7 ft.). This allows workers to feel comfortable and to move safely while working at height. The workers can also have their tools and some materials on the scaffolding, reducing the need to go up and down a ladder to get them. The platform load capacity, including the user and his material, is 75 lb/ft2.
 

When setting up scaffolding, the first thing to do is to properly level your installation with leveling jacks and checking the structure with a hand level. Leveling your scaffold increases the stability of the installation and allows you to work safely at height.

When working on a hard, even and flat surface, the scaffolding can be set on casters. This gives the user the possibility to easily move the scaffold tower from one working area to another. 

Metaltech offers powder-coated and galvanized exterior frames. They are both durable in time and are made to be used for many years. The galvanized frames are better protected from rust since they are protected inside and out.
 

INTERIOR PROJECTS 

Metaltech Interior Scaffolding brings a lot of flexibility to the user since the products are multi-functional. Some people use their 4’ high unit to move materials and tools from one working area to another. Some use it as a traditional access equipment, and others use it as a storage unit.

The 6’ Baker Scaffold is especially useful for many professionals such as painters, electricians, and drywall installer.  The I-CISC can be set up by one person in less than 15 minutes. The main asset of this unit is that it can be stacked up to 3 units high for a reach of 24’. When stacking units, it is recommended to use outriggers and a guardrail system. To meet OSHA and CSA regulations when working at height, a 3 to 1 ratio between the height and the smallest dimension, width or depth, must be respected. When units are stacked, the base needs to be broadened using the outriggers to increase stability of the installation. The guardrail is necessary to provide essential fall protection.
