Frame scaffolding uses interconnected steel frames and cross-braces for temporary worker access platforms. Standard frame heights are typically 5-10 feet with widths of 5-6 feet. These systems are quick to assemble and highly standardized. Typical rental costs range from $2-$8 per square foot per month depending on configuration. Frame scaffolding is the most common scaffolding type due to cost-effectiveness and safety. Systems include guardrails, toe-boards, and stabilizer braces. Capacity is typically 25-50 pounds per square foot (worker load). Frame scaffolding requires engineering design for heights over 125 feet. Trained scaffolding erectors assemble and disassemble systems. Common applications include building facades, bridge work, and interior buildouts. Safety compliance with OSHA and local codes is mandatory.
