Scaffold Trucks for Sale (10)
What is a specialist scaffolding truck? A scaffolder could use a standard dropside truck – perhaps take some of the dropsides off to make access to the poles easier and then create holes for the scaffold to sit in. But why bother when you can buy a used dropside truck that has already been converted to work perfectly on the scaffolding job? Typically these trucks have been newly converted – probably from a box truck or curtainsider that’s been on distribution work. This means that the scaffolder will be getting a brand new body ready for them to build a scaffold framework of their own design to hold their poles (they are specialists in that department after all). The front part of the dropside body keeps the drop sides, as this provides ample storage space for the couplers and safety materials that are needed to erect scaffolding on site. Listed too are scaffold trailers. These are typically shorter uban suited single or tandem axle trailers that have been kitted out in the same way that the scaffold trucks have.

The Ideal Scaffold Truck
The ideal scaffold truck is not all about the body. It must have three seats in the cab to help transport the tem to the site. As scaffold trucks spend most of their lives in urban environments they need to meet the compliance for the areas.
This means that an increasing number of cities will demand that the truck is a Euro 6. Use the filter on the right hand side of the page to select only Euro 6 scaffolding trucks.
In addition scaffolders need to be considering the direct vision standards as well as other CLOCS and FORS regulations.
We recommend you talk to a specialist truck dealer who will be able to assist you with any questions you may have in specifying a scaffold truck.
The Challenges Facing the Scaffolding Industry
The scaffolding industry, a critical component of the construction sector, is currently grappling with a multitude of challenges. These issues range from volatile material costs and labour shortages to supply chain disruptions and regulatory concerns.
Material Costs and Supply Chain Issues
One of the most pressing problems is the rising cost of core materials – timber boards and steel tubes. Factors such as Brexit and the pandemic have exacerbated inflation and supply chain issues, making these materials significantly more expensive. In some instances, costs have peaked at double the expected rate.
Costs of Replacing Trucks
The costs of compliance as far as trucks are concerned have increased – especially for those businesses working in the capital. All trucks need to be Euro 6 standard – that means built in 2014 or newer. Add to this a lack of supply of new trucks thanks to the availability of semiconductors and the subsequent inflation in the prices of second hand scaffolding trucks and you will understand why the trucks are as hard to get hold of as the staff to drive them.
Regulatory Concerns
Working with scaffolding involves a range of hazards and risks including falls from height, falling objects, structural collapse, working near powerlines, interaction with mobile plant and traffic, scaffolding quality and manual tasks. These risks necessitate stringent regulations and safety measures, adding another layer of complexity to the industry.
The scaffolding industry is at the centre of an inflationary storm, and with market conditions becoming more unpredictable and challenging, firms must grapple with a lack of clarity on future costs. Despite these challenges, the industry continues to seek innovative solutions to navigate this difficult period.

FUSO Canter Scaffold Truck with 300kg Better Payload
When Attridge Scaffolding needed a new 7.5-tonner, the FUSO Canter stood a good chance – as payload is king in the scaffolding game. The Fuso Canter’s leading payload, as well as the driver-friendly external proportions, make it ideal for the business. Attridge Scafffolding’s latest Canter, its first from the all-new range introduced earlier this year, arrived via the Stoke-on-Trent branch of Dealer eStar Truck & Van. Six of the eight 7.5-tonners that work from the operator’s depot in Brereton, near Rugeley, wear the FUSO ‘three diamonds’ badge.

Mercedes Atego keeps Scaffolding firm climbing
When the Aberdeenshire scaffolder, Northern Platforms & Stagings, needed another 7.5-tonner, its first call was to the manufacturer’s representative in the north of Scotland.

Isuzu Forward F110.210 has Double Payload

Econic Bin Truck turns Scaffolder
A more common site emptying the dustbins from house to house, the Mercedes Econic is a prolific sight on the UK’s roads on bin day. However, an adventurous and canny scaffolding company has decided that the low-entry cab with excellent pedestrian visibility is the way forward as a scaffold truck for their operation. For some time now, Mercedes have been pushing the safety benefits of their Econic for urban operation. The excellent visibility adds to the safety of cyclists and pedestrians alike. The low level access has the added benefit for the workers getting to site. Scaffold Industry First Econic…
