Why the 3.05m board is a popular all-round choice
The 3.05m staging board provides additional working reach while remaining manageable for transport, positioning, and everyday site use. Its longer platform helps reduce repositioning and allows wider working coverage during medium-span access work. This helps improve workflow efficiency by reducing interruptions and unnecessary repositioning on-site, making it a reliable choice for general access work across domestic and commercial projects.
Choosing the right setup for medium-span access work
With multiple width and handrail configurations available, selecting the right combination ensures both safety and efficiency on-site.
Width options
- 450mm wide – A lighter option that’s easier to handle and reposition, ideal for quick tasks and frequent movement
- 600mm wide – Offers increased standing space and improved stability, making it better for longer working periods
Handrail options
- Without handrails – Suitable for basic access where additional edge protection isn’t required
- Single-sided handrails – Adds protection on one exposed side, useful when working alongside a structure
- Double-sided handrails – Provides maximum edge protection on both sides when working at height
