A fibreglass mobile scaffold is a lightweight, non-conductive tower structure mounted on wheels (casters), allowing it to be easily moved around a worksite. Compared to its aluminium counterpart, fibreglass significantly reduces the risk of electrical conductivity, making it a safer option for electrical applications.
Key Features:
• Non-conductive: Ideal for electrical work, reducing the risk of electric shock
• Corrosion-resistant: Performs well in harsh environments such as chemical plants and coastal areas
• Lightweight: Easier to transport and assemble than steel scaffolding
• Mobile: Equipped with lockable wheels for easy movement and secure positioning
• Modular design: Can be configured to various heights and setups to suit different tasks
Licensing Requirements
A licensed scaffolder is required for the erection, alteration, or dismantling of a tower or mobile scaffold where there is a risk of a person or object falling more than 4 metres from the platform or structure.
This requirement aligns with Standards Australia guidance under AS/NZS 4576:1995 (Clause 10.3.8 – Tower-frame scaffolds).
