Pre-Delivery Checklist
Before a arrives on site, confirm the scope and access requirements. Verify the working height needed, the route for moving the unit, and the type of surfaces where the base will sit. Check that the scaffold is matched to the intended use, including safe load capacity and planned platform layout. Record the Mobile Scaffold delivery details, including serial identifiers and configuration, and confirm the supplier’s documentation for compliance, assembly instructions, and inspection requirements. If you plan to pair the system with guardrails, access ladders, or other access equipment, confirm compatibility in advance so the setup stays streamlined and safe.
On-Site Assembly and Fit Check
Use a structured build process to reduce rework. Start by inspecting all components for damage, missing parts, or incorrect fittings. Ensure wheels, brakes, and locking mechanisms are functional and that base frames are level before any platform work begins. Confirm that couplers are properly engaged, connections are tight, and any required bracing is installed to maintain stability. If your project uses kwikstage scaffold components, verify correct module alignment and ensure all platforms are secured with appropriate decking. Perform a fit check for access points so workers can enter and exit without awkward climbing or unsafe reaching. Keep the work area clear during erection and maintain a controlled zone around the unit.
Safety Inspection Before Use
Conduct a thorough inspection before the first lift and before each change in setup. Confirm guardrails, toe boards, and access ladders are correctly installed and not loose. Check that the base is stable, with wheels locked whenever the scaffold is in use. Inspect the work platforms for secure decking and uniform support, and verify that load limits are respected based on the tasks and materials carried. Review signage and exclusion controls so unauthorised access is prevented. Test mobility procedures only under safe conditions, ensuring the path is free of obstacles and the ground can support movement. Ensure that all relevant personnel understand safe operating practices, including how to move the unit without sudden shifts.
