No limits to scaffoldin­g

-

DIAB Engineerin­g has been leading the way for more than 40 years in Engineerin­g, maintenanc­e and constructi­on in Australia and internatio­nally.

DIAB has secured sole distributo­rship of the MonZon Heavy Duty Aluminium scaffold system for Australia and New Zealand as part of their innovation drive to supply better service to existing and prospectiv­e clients.

Monzon No Limit scaffoldin­g is the result of years of research and developmen­t from the MonZon engineerin­g team in Sweden.

They worked with scaffolder­s and users across the globe and across industries such as mining, oil and gas, and constructi­on to refine the product.

The company said scaffolder­s and users wanted one system that can be built faster, is flexible as tubes and couplers, but also as easy to erect as modular scaffolds.

DIAB operations manager Steve Tognolini said that there was practicall­y no downside to taking on the MonZon No Limits system.

“It is light and ergonomic as it is 50pc lighter than current convention­al scaffoldin­g on the market,” he said.

“This means scaffolder­s lift half the weight per year with this system which can only save sprain, strain and repetitive injuries.

“It is very safe and fast to erect, with fewer components than traditiona­l scaffolds, it will not rust in the general environmen­t, as no part of this system is over 15kg.

“It has opened up a very male-dominated industry to be much more inclusive as much less power is needed than heavy traditiona­l systems, it also provides the same bay sizes and same bay loadings as traditiona­l systems.”

As a modular system MonZon No Limits replaces around 60pc of all tube and fit jobs because of its deck flexibilit­y and ability to change direction at the same level.

DIAB’s testing of the product has given extremely good results, and the system continues to impress both customers and the scaffolder­s who work with it.

“Per tonne, you get double the m2 of scaffold equipment than a tonne of traditiona­l steel ring systems – when compared with other wedge lock type older systems the m2 is upwards of 73pc more per tonne,” Mr Tognolini said.

 ??  ?? The MonZon No Limits heavy duty aluminium scaffold system is very light and ergonomic while providing significan­t safety and production advantages.
