Frequently asked questions
What are adjustable builders trestles?
Adjustable builders trestles act as a supportive framework that help to create a safe working environment for project workers. By connecting four standard scaffold boards, they provide a stable platform for construction activities.
They consist of horizontal beams that are supported by frame legs, which can then be adjusted to suit different heights. Different trestles are suited for different projects. At The Metal Store, we offer three different sizes that are sold individually.
What is a safe working load for builders trestles?
In order to create a safe working platform, you will need to check the safe working load for your trestles and make sure that it is not exceeded. The safe working load will depend on your trestles and the working environment.
How do I adjust the height of a trestle?
Our adjustable trestles are easy to use, so you can set up the perfect environment. To adjust the height of a trestle all you need to do is use the pin and hole system. This will allow for precise height adjustments and can accommodate different working heights.
Can adjustable trestles be used on uneven ground?
Adjustable trestles can be used on uneven ground. This can be achieved by adjusting the legs, allowing for your work platform to remain level and stable, even on sloped or uneven surfaces.
How do I properly maintain builders trestles?
If you want to use your builders trestles on another project, you'll need to properly maintain them. Whilst steel is a sturdy and durable metal, you should always make sure to conduct regular inspections to ensure it is still in working order. This is especially true if your builders trestles are exposed to difficult weather conditions. Check for any signs of rust, wear, or corrosion.
How should I store builders trestles?
When not in use, you should store your builders trestles in a cool, dry environment. As with most construction products, you run the risk of damaging them if they are exposed to harsh sunlight or excessive moisture.
