NZ Plank Hire we use …
- Locally Manufactured Solid Wood Laminated Scaffold Planks
- 42mm Thick made from 7 x Radiata Pine Laminates
- Drilled and screwed both ends then H3.1 Treated
- Certified to meet the highest International & Local Standards
There are Alternatives and Cheaper Options…
- 38mm thick – Specifically designed for Costs savings & whilst they still meet the Minimum Standards the majority of Planks in use throughout NZ are 42mm thick.
- Laminated Veneer Lumber Planks – Also certified but in our experience they’re heavier and early signs of rot are harder to detect with the Horizontal Veneer Laminate
Plus – The story doesn’t end there…
Buying the right Scaffold Plank is just the start but once in use…
- Regular Inspection & Testing is essential
- Storing them filleted and Undercover when wet
So Buying Scaffolding Planks or Hiring Scaffolding Planks – Make sure they’re fit for purpose.
