First, we would like to remind you what scaffolding is, become more familiar with its different types, and then explain in detail how Zaman Service Scaffolding differs from conventional systems.

Scaffolding is a temporary metal or wooden structure used in construction projects to provide access for workers at heights exceeding 3 meters. As the height of buildings has increased, the need for lighter, more efficient, and user‑friendly access equipment has grown. At the same time, safety and execution speed must always be taken into consideration.

Metal scaffolding is composed of steel tubes with a diameter of 48.3 mm, commonly referred to as “5‑centimeter tubes.” The minimum wall thickness of these tubes is 4 mm, and they are assembled using appropriate scaffolding couplers. Most metal scaffolds are erected on the ground and can be considered the fastest type of scaffolding system to install. However, in special cases, suspended scaffolding is used, where the base is off the ground and the structure is anchored to the building.

Traditional Metal Scaffolding consists of one or more working platforms, supporting members, connectors, and load‑bearing bases. The erection of such structures requires specific technical skills. Metal scaffolding is the most widely used type of scaffolding, and the equipment required for its installation includes:

Steel tubes, spigots, metal couplers, base plates or steel shoes, anchors or braces, screw jacks, steel wheels (casters), and standard chrome‑vanadium double‑ended ring spanners. Metal scaffolding systems are available in various types.

Triangular Metal Scaffolding: This system connects using male and female joints and is commonly applied in slab, beam, and bridge formwork shoring. By installing adjustable screw jacks at the top, the height of this scaffolding can be precisely regulated. The frame width of triangular scaffolding is 120 cm and it features horizontal members with triangular or square cross‑sections.

Star Hammer Scaffolding: This system is assembled from vertical standards and horizontal ledgers in various lengths. Adjustable head jacks are installed at the top, and adjustable base jacks at the bottom, allowing height and level differences to be easily accommodated. Horizontal ledgers are fixed onto the standards simply by hammer impact. The vertical posts are connected to each other using spigots and locking pins.

Cup‑Lock (Cuplock) Hammer Scaffolding: This system is manufactured with vertical standards and horizontal ledgers in various sizes. Adjustable jacks at both the top and bottom allow height adjustment for different site requirements. Horizontal members are installed onto the vertical posts with hammer blows, and the vertical standards are connected using spigots and pins. The most critical factor in metal scaffolding systems is the structural strength and safety of the scaffolding components.

Zaman Service Scaffolding: A Smart and Fast Alternative to Traditional Scaffolding

Hours spent tightening bolts, reliance on highly skilled labor, and constant safety concerns are the biggest challenges of traditional scaffolding systems. Zaman Company (Zeman) has put an end to these challenges by introducing Service Scaffolding. This prefabricated, modular scaffolding system is an engineered solution for contractors and builders seeking higher productivity, faster project execution, and a safe, standardized working environment. With Zaman Service Scaffolding, say goodbye to outdated methods and embrace the future of construction.

Facade (service) scaffolding is designed for two highly common applications in the construction industry: first, for continuous and integrated use on building façades, and second, as a safe and convenient replacement for traditional planks and barrels. Each service scaffolding box includes:

Two step‑ladder patterned frames, two X‑frames, and one metal work platform. Lockable caster wheels can also be added during use to facilitate easy relocation. The maximum height of each box is 2 meters, and greater heights and work surfaces can be achieved by stacking additional boxes according to project requirements.

Why Does Investing in Service Scaffolding Reduce Your Overall Costs?

Purchasing service scaffolding is not a cost—it is a smart investment with a fast return. This system directly reduces both visible and hidden project expenses:

Significant Reduction in Execution Time and Labor Costs

Thanks to its prefabricated components and pin‑lock connections, this system eliminates the need for extensive wrench work and multiple bolts. Assembly and dismantling can be up to 60% faster compared to traditional scaffolding. Less time means lower labor costs and faster project progress.

No Need for Highly Skilled Labor

Any construction worker can correctly and safely assemble this system after brief and simple training. You will no longer be dependent on a limited number of highly experienced scaffolders.

Inherent and Standardized Safety

The connections are engineered in such a way that incorrect or incomplete assembly is virtually impossible. This built‑in safety significantly reduces workplace accident risks and provides a secure working environment for your workforce.

High Durability and Reusability

Zaman Service Scaffolding is manufactured using high‑quality steel and durable oven‑baked paint coatings, offering excellent resistance against corrosion and deformation. Its long service life makes it a valuable asset for repeated use across multiple projects.

Key Features of Facade (Service) Scaffolding: A Lightweight, Prefabricated System with Fast and Safe Assembly

• Suitable for façade execution or as a safe work platform replacing traditional planks and barrels
• Each unit includes two anti‑slip step frames, two X‑frames, and one heavy‑duty metal platform
• Optional lockable caster wheels for quick and effortless movement during operation

• Integrated, rigid, and interlocked structure for enhanced safety when working at height
• Ideal for façade works, painting, window installation, glazing, and suspended ceiling installation

Which Projects Is This System Ideal For?

Zaman Service Scaffolding is suitable for a wide range of construction and industrial projects due to its simplicity and speed:

• Façade works for residential, office, and commercial buildings
• Repair, renovation, and maintenance projects
• Indoor access solutions for halls, warehouses, and enclosed spaces
• Mass construction projects where speed is a critical factor

Frequently Asked Questions About Purchasing Service Scaffolding

Is this system as flexible as traditional scaffolding?

This system is designed to cover approximately 95% of common building geometries (flat surfaces, corners, etc.) and performs much faster in these cases. For extremely complex or unconventional geometries, a combination with special components or technical consultation may be required.

How does its price compare to buying traditional tubes and couplers?

The initial purchase cost of this system may be slightly higher than traditional tube and coupler scaffolding. However, when considering the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)—including significant time savings, reduced labor costs, and repeated usability—this system proves to be far more economical in the long term.
