Its articulated spigots are complemented with SSP Clear Span’s patented suspension connector to provide suspended deck systems that fit almost any shape or size. It enables workers to safely work on an open, modular platform at elevated altitudes. The system can withstand load capacities of more than 90 psf. This solution, consisting of a lightweight, robust frame of aluminum beams, can be built safely in the air or on the ground and then hoisted into position. Large spans of up to 300 feet are offered using aluminum truss designs that deliver a clear advantage over conventional heavy trusses made of steel. This makes way for more effortless operations, saving customers time and effort.

The lightweight trusses allow the team to build large dance floor scaffolding systems and expand them without support legs. This sharpens Scaffold King Rentals’ competitive edge and enables it to set a benchmark in the industry.

In an implementation highlight, it assisted a client in a roof replacement project that required extensive technical and engineering skills. While multiple scaffolding companies backed out, Scaffold King Rentals took on the challenge. Leveraging the SSP Clear Span Suspended Deck System, it provided a working platform, enabling workers to change the roof safely without interrupting the facility’s operations. Using aluminum trusses, the team created 30-foot spans up in the ceiling. They initially implemented a pilot to assess the idea’s feasibility and gradually scaled it. The safe deck enabled workers to easily transport roof replacement materials.

Scaffold King Rentals also has portable, remoteoperated hoist mounting options, ranging from sliding trolley and monorail to I-Beam, Scaff-Trac and Mac-Trac. It offers 750mm and 1500mm X beams, sturdier than traditional-style scaffolding beams. Their unsurpassed weight-to-strength ratio makes them an ideal solution to support a heavy scaffold or structure. It has engineered platforms capable of supporting hefty cranes.

Swing stages are another stand-out offering, helping customers overcome the toughest access challenges. For example, its purpose-built swing stage can be dropped into a boiler to fix a tube leak without building a large scaffold inside the boiler.
