Working load is the loading arising from people, materials and activities during the intended use of a scaffold.
What does this mean for your project?
Preparation concerns not only what is present, but where and when it appears. Simultaneous activity on different levels may involve different assumptions from one user at one workplace. A complete description of the work helps make that distinction visible to the provider.
Describe materials, packages, tools and anticipated deliveries. Include other parties proposing to use the same structure. The scaffold provider assesses the combination; this website supplies no calculation of permitted quantities or distribution across platforms. The brief communicates the requirement rather than deciding its acceptance.
A subsequently changed method should not silently be treated as covered by earlier agreements. Discuss extra storage or a different activity before introducing it. Even when the scaffold looks unchanged, its requested use may have become materially different from the original description.

thing.
Does working load mean only the people’s weight?
No. Materials, tools and the manner of working also form part of the intended use situation.
Does a larger platform automatically carry more?
Not from area alone. Follow the project-specific assessment and user information for the actual arrangement.
