More about Stagings

Staging boards give you a stable, secure platform to work from at height, whether you are painting or carrying out maintenance. You might know them as Youngman boards, a trade name that has stuck for this type of lightweight aluminium platform. Altrad Generation's range covers both 450mm and 600mm widths, built to BS2037 and rated to carry a distributed load of 270kg.

If you are looking for youngman boards for sale, our aluminium staging boards are available in nine lengths from 2.5m up to 7.2m. Each board uses box section aluminium stiles and cross bearers with combiboard decking, and rubber inserts on the underside stop the board moving once it is in place. The 450mm boards weigh from 13kg to 43kg and the 600mm boards weigh from 14kg to 46kg, so you can match the board to the job and the team carrying it.

Working at height often means you need a handrail too. If you need youngman boards with handrails, fit one of our handrail brackets to add a scaffold tube handrail and a scaffold board toeboard to your staging. The bracket clamps directly onto 450mm or 600mm stagings, and adjustable fittings let you use standard scaffold boards and tube. For a bracket that works with any staging width or length, choose the Universal Handrail Bracket, which uses lock jaw clamps for a quick, secure fit.
