Getting started

With its storage system, this scaffolding goes without the usual assembly. Just remove the strap and unfold the structure by spreading the amounts. The placement of the trays ensures the rigidity of the assembly: they fit into the scaffolding bars by notches. The installation is done by pressing a little on the top of the tray and the slight resistance of the notches is enough to block.
The trays can be placed side by side or offset one step. This second formula is useful if you want to leave some equipment on the top shelf, without risking jostling (ex.: a pot of paint). In this position, the offset of the trays acts as stair steps and facilitates access.

use

Placed on the second rung, the "first step" is 62 cm high. Reasonable, the height, allows to climb without effort and especially without risk on the scaffolding. Then, while climbing on the second plateau, a person of average height reaches a maximum working height of 3 m. This height is sufficient for most modern habitats where ceiling heights are generally close to 2.50 m.
However, if you want to cut a hedge with greater ease, you will have to mount the trays at the fourth bar (maximum). In this case, a step ladder is then necessary to "climb" on your scaffolding. A test with both trays at this level proved conclusive.

Most

A ultrafast editing and a good stability from the whole. Thanks to the two wheels, displacements (folded or unfolded) do not pose a problem.

The work done, thesmall footprint the folded set allows the "casing" in a corner of the garage or in a large closet apartment.

The lessers

As stipulated by the manufacturer, the working height on the scaffolding is limited to 3 m. This material is mainly intended for interior design and hedge maintenance.

A brake on the wheels would be welcome

Our opinion

Interior decoration, small renovation, maintenance of the garden... A small scaffolding is always useful for the do-it-yourselfers. Well designed, it is attractive because of its small footprint: 28 cm thick when folded.

Easy set-up

Easy set-up

The installation of the scaffolding is done in the blink of an eye, without room to tighten. The principle of folding in the middle avoids useless efforts.

A rigid set

A rigid set

The interlocking of the trays makes it possible to stiffen the assembly. Clipping is simply done by pressing the top of the tray.
