Every scaffold goes up and comes down with the help of a few reliable hand tools. Altrad Generation supplies a full range of scaffolding tools, from scaffold spanners and podger hammers to a socket set, spirit level and tape measure. Whatever your crew needs to assemble, tighten or dismantle a scaffold safely, you will find it here. Browse the range below and contact your local branch to hire or buy.
Why You Need the Right Scaffolding Tools
A scaffold that has not been assembled with the right tools is not a safe place to work, and it slows your team down. Using proper scaffolding tools helps you build and dismantle a structure correctly and protects everyone working on it. A full set, spanners, socket set, hammer, spirit level and tape measure, means your crew always has the right tool to hand instead of making do.
Where You Will Use Them
Every scaffold build starts and ends with these tools. Use your scaffold spanners to assemble and dismantle scaffolding structures and to secure connections and fittings. Reach for the podger hammer when a task calls for extra force, since it is built for demanding scaffolding work. The rest of the range, the Podger Hook, Safe Socket Set, Steel Magnetic Spirit Level and 5m Steel Tape Measure, rounds out the kit for day to day scaffolding work.
