Scaffolding & Rigging in WA
Wed, 26 Mar 2003, 05:46 pmHi All,
I am looking for somewhere in Perth that supplies scaffolding and/or rigging.
I require a scaffolding platform for the set of Working, at Roleystone Theatre in May.
The cheaper the better.
Anyone who can help, please contact Kristen on 0408920954.

Hi Don,
In relation to your flat tube, there are no regulations that actually say you cannot use a square tube, however most lighting clamps are designed for round tube.
On the square tube you need to make sure the clamps are designed so the locking pin or tri nut passes below the tube preventing the clamp from sliding off. clamps designed for a round tube have the tri nut located well below the "equator" line of the round tube, therefore preventing the clamp from falling off.
The tube also needs to have been designed and signage attached stating the weight loading per metre of the system, all chains and shackles need to be inspected at regualar intervals, ie annually by a qualified person ie licenced rigger or engineer to ensure the system complies with current regulations.
If you are ever unsure or something looks suspect, dont use it.
Always ensure your equipment meets australian standards and regulations. and the safe working loads the equipment is designed for is not exceeded.
You can get load charts and specifications from the manufacturers and dealers.
If we can be of any more assistance please email or call either Tiny Good or myself at Showtech Australia 03 9645 4133.
