Mobile scaffold for 2nd floor
Working at second-floor height? From this point a ladder is often no longer safe enough and a scaffold is the practical choice.
Which working height do you need?
At second-floor height you usually end up with a working height of around 8 metres. At this height stability is extra important, so many customers deliberately choose the wider RS52 instead of the narrow RS51.
Working height is not the same as platform height: the working height is the platform height plus approximately 2 metres of reach of an average adult. When in doubt between two heights, most customers prefer the higher variant, so you don't have to reach or stand on your toes while working.

Frequently asked questions
Which working height do I need for the 2nd floor?
For work at the height of the 2nd floor we recommend a working height of approximately 8 metres. At second-floor height you usually end up with a working height of around 8 metres. At this height stability is extra important, so many customers deliberately choose the wider RS52 instead of the narrow RS51.
Which scaffold suits the 2nd floor?

Is this the exact height, or does it vary per home?
Floor heights vary slightly per home. 8 metres of working height is a reliable average; if in doubt, feel free to choose a slightly higher working height via the configurator.
Do you assemble the scaffold yourselves, or do I do it myself?
Our scaffolds are designed to be assembled quickly and safely by yourself, without special tools. Just follow the included manual. If in doubt, we can also come and assemble it for you.
Can I also choose a lower working height for the 2nd floor to save money?
You can, but we advise not to cut it too fine: too little working height means you will still have to reach or stand on your toes, which is less safe. Better to choose a slightly higher working height than exactly at the limit.
