Scaffold Board Hire
We offer scaffold board hire to be often used together with Steel Trestles, to provide a stable platform, but which can have many other uses on a building site.
If using to make a platform, make sure they are the same thickness and the same length, and keep gaps between them as small as possible. Trestles can accommodate four standard scaffold boards. Always wear a hard hat, safety footwear and gloves. Do not use them any further apart than 1.2m, and ensure that the width of the working platform is at least 0.9m.
Our friendly sales team are always happy to help if you have any further questions regarding scaffold board hire; specification, set up or delivery of this equipment.

Scaffold boards are designed to deliver safety, stability, and reliability in all sorts of weather and different environments.
The dimensions, width, length, thickness, and weight do not vary by much, the most popular boards being 13 and 10 feet long (3.9 & 3m). Scaffold boards have to support the weight of workers and their materials without bending or deforming and when properly supported by trestles, these boards will not distort under load.
A standard 13-foot scaffold board will weigh in at 19 kg, less than a bag of cement, while a 10-foot board comes in at almost 14.5 kg. However, if a board has been exposed to a lot of wet weather, it may have absorbed some moisture, which can add to the weight.
When scaffold boards are used for access directly on the ground, exposure to mud and water can also make them harder to handle. The metal bands on scaffold boards are there to deliver end protection. Board ends can split, or be damaged during handling, or while in position on a busy working platform. A metal band on a scaffold board will often have information embossed on it telling the user the board's origin, the British Standard to which it conforms, and the weight limit per 1.2 metres that it is designed to carry.
