Mobile scaffolding is a flexible and effective aid for working at height. However, both safety and stability depend entirely on the scaffolding being assembled correctly. For the scaffolder, the assembly instructions are the most important tool for planning and carrying out safe and correct assembly. We know that many people first search for information online, which is why we have created a simple instructional video showing how to assemble a mobile scaffold (Instant Span).

Why correct assembly is important
Incorrect assembly can lead to serious accidents, personal injury, or damage to equipment. Correct assembly ensures that:
The scaffolding is stable and level on all surfaces.
Access to the various levels is easy and safe.
Workers stand safely and stably on the platforms.
The work area (wall, ceiling, etc.) is easily accessible.
Tips for safe use
Never move the scaffolding while anyone is on it.
Check that the platform on the first tier is level before continuing to build.
Check the load class and ensure that the total weight (scaffolding + equipment + people) does not exceed this.
Always use support legs where required.
Take weather and wind conditions into account when working outdoors. In strong winds, the scaffolding should be anchored to the wall.
Always follow applicable rules, standards, and training requirements for working at height.
