Aluminum scaffolding has a number of advantages over some other types of scaffolding. Most of the advantages relate to the ease of the use and the portability. When moving between different job sites, it is necessary to find a material that is light weight and portable. Further, aluminum scaffolding also offers easy set up in many cases, especially compared to wood. It is also less inclined to crack, which may give it better durability when compared to wood and fiberglass. Aluminum scaffolding can also be very stable, though the supports must be of sufficient diameter and quality in order to get maximum stability. The best scaffolding will have reinforced joints, and be rated for significantly more weight than it would expected to support during typical use. This improved strength to weight ratio will add further stability. In addition to being easier to carry, the weight of aluminum scaffolding is very important in other ways. In the case of a suspended, or swingstage, scaffold, the d
