In this article, we would like to take a closer look at aluminium scaffolds. We will explore the why, when, how, where and who when it comes to aluminium scaffold hire in Sydney in 2024.
Why Use Aluminium Scaffolds?
The main reason we use aluminium scaffold over its counterpart steel scaffold is because of the cost. Aluminium is much cheaper to transport and erect, especially with projects that may include a fair amount of manual materials handling. Aluminium scaffold is generally a lot cleaner than steel scaffolds, ideal for internal works or projects that are near completion.

When Do We Use Aluminium Scaffolds?
We would use aluminium scaffolds for light and medium duty work only. Examples of this would be:
- Painting
- Gutter and down pipe replacement/repair
- Render repair
- Brick pointing
- Window replacement/repair
- Light fitting replacements
- Internal ceiling repairs
- Mobile access and towers
- Minor remedial repairs
- Solar panel repairs/fit
- Lift shaft maintenance
How Do We Use Aluminium Scaffolds?
Stronghold Hire does not supply dry hire of our equipment. After an initial consultation via email or telephone, an estimated cost is given which is often then confirmed with a site visit. Once both parties agree on costs and design, the work is booked in & the scaffold equipment is then delivered to site. The scaffold is erected by qualified experienced scaffolders and certified for use. The scaffold is periodically checked every 30 days and re-certified, until the project no longer requires it. A simple phone call or email is made and the next available dismantle and removal date is booked in. Simple and effective!
