FAQ

HOW DO WE VIEW SAFETY, QUALITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT?

We have over 75 years of experience in assembling, developing, testing, certifying, project adapting, distributing scaffolding and weather protection around the world.

  • The safety of developing scaffolding is extremely high. MonZon delivers scaffolding systems that are tested and approved in accordance with EN 12811-1.
  • Quality is determined by testing and certifying products NOT as many believe in a visual assessment of an individual product!
  • MonZon is Quality and Environment Certified according to ISO 2015.

HOW CAN WE HAVE SUCH LOW PRICES?

We manufacture in our own factories WITHOUT intermediaries, which retailers or distributors often have.
As much of our sales take place over the internet, which in itself results in relatively low overheads.

WHERE DOES OUR PRODUCTION TAKE PLACE?

Our factories are located in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Poland, England, France, Portugal, Australia, Korea and China.

WHAT CAN I USE THE SCAFFOLD FOR?

Protect It™  soul purpose is a specialised weather protection scaffolding system and it is used on both small and large projects, by rental companies, in industry and offshore when you have to guarantee a dry and safe working environment.

NO LIMIT™ however has limitless possibilities! It is suitable for exterior maintenance, building, renovating, carpentry, painting, window replacement etc and it is strong and flexible enough for big heights and for tight, busy spaces in the town and has advanced suspended scaffolding system  under bridges and in the shipbuilding industry.

The NO LIMIT™ scaffolding and loose parts made of steel are load class 5.

AGS stands for Advanced Guardrail system and MonZon has developed one that allows your workers to go to the new level and assemble it with the same security of already build scaffold whatever the purpose the scaffold is being constructed for!

AGS – Advanced guardrail system!

Our super light and flexible advanced guardrail system gives allows you to safely assemble, modify and disassemble the scaffold. 

ARE THE FRAME SCAFFOLDS STABLE?

Yes, scaffolding frames are very stable with 4 mm wall thickness and truss railings. The wall brackets of the facade scaffolding further increase the stability and these are approved to be built up to a height of 50.5 m with max of 2m in height between the tie.

WHAT WIDTHS CAN I GET ON YOUR FRAME SCAFFOLDS?

NO LIMIT™  frame scaffolding is 100cm (3,28ft) wide.

HOW SHOULD DIAGONAL BRACING BE MOUNTED ON THE FRAME SCAFFOLD?

Unlike most if not all other scaffolding, NO diagonal braces are needed in MonZon NO LIMIT™ when using the MonZon Guardrail™!

FRAME SCAFFOLD OR MODULAR SCAFFOLD?

Our experience says that you can use a
frame scaffold for most work, however, it is limited with its fixed height measurements of 2m where you have more flexibility with modular scaffolding (vertical standards) that can adjust the heights at 50 cm intervals and handle heavier loads than frame scaffold.

Private individuals usually choose a frame scaffold due to the fact that there are fewer parts and the assembly is easier.

ALUMINIUM OR STEEL?

NO LIMIT™ Vertical standards are made of aluminium and steel. These standards look exactly the same and cover exactly the same needs.

The big difference is clearly the weight. The aluminium standard weighs 5.9 kg and the steel standard weighs 15.2 kg –  a significant difference when handling this type of parts. 

  • If you come across steel parts that do not weigh much more than aluminium parts, it means that the steel wall thickness is smaller and that it can not withstand as much load. 
  • The raw material price of aluminium is almost three times higher than steel, so a scaffolding made of steel should be significantly cheaper. 
  • Round profiles can withstand more load and a harder treatment than square profiles.

WHAT ARE THE PLATFORMS MADE OF?

Our standard platforms are aluminium platforms, steel platforms, fiberglass platforms where the frame is made of aluminium clad with corrugated aluminium panel or with weather-resistant and certified fiberglass panel . 

At each regular level, one, two, three or four decks or platforms are used.

HOW BIG SCAFFOLD DO I NEED?

Most suppliers have ready-made package solutions where you can see the dimensions of the scaffolding.

 

Frame scaffolding and modular scaffolding usually have scaffolding sections that are 3 m long. 

As a rule, the working height (as high as you reach) is 2 m above the upper platform height – the height between the floors is 2 m. 

 

Check the dimensions carefully before order or contact us!

ARE THE SCAFFOLDING PACKAGES COMPLETE?

Yes, all our scaffolding packages are complete and ready to use. 

The scaffolding packages include fiberglass platforms, double guardrails (MonZon Guardrails™), diagonals, adjustable base jacks (80cm), wall brackets, eyebolts, etc. 

If the scaffolding is to be used in professional use, it must, according to EN 12811-1, be supplemented with toe boards and stairs or access platforms.

 

CHECK THE PARTS LIST!

Make sure it contains all the parts you need  (you must e.g. have wall brackets with eye screw and toe boards a.k.a. kick boards). 

  • To evaluate two seemingly similar scaffolding against each other, check the parts list.
  •  Check which parts are in aluminium and which are in steel. 
  • Always check the type of platforms (floor) in the package. 

Our certified fiberglass (composite) platforms are much easier to handle and have a much longer service life than plywood platforms. Fiberglass platforms also withstand storage much better than plywood platforms.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS?

It is important that the scaffold is correctly mounted thus MonZon has a detailed assembly instruction (English version) that are sent with each order/purchase and we  will provide you an extra copy if needed.

If you are unsure about anything in connection with the assembly, we recommend our customers to contact us.

ARE THERE ASSEMBLY VIDEOS?

Yes, all our scaffolding packages, scaffolding trailers, stair towers, construction stairs, public stair towers and weather protection can be seen how each can be mounted safely and efficiently.

This is something we are the only ones in the market to provide online for our customers, all to give everyone security when shopping with MonZon.

ALL SCAFFOLDING MUST HAVE TYPE APPROVAL?

In order for everyone who works with or on scaffolding to be safe, Sweden has strict rules for what is required of the scaffolding. 

To know that the scaffolding you are going to buy is in accordance with the rules, you must check that it has a type approval. 

This should be easily accessible online so it is easy for the customer to know that the scaffolding is approved.
