Frequently asked questions: Equipment for Building Contractors
What is building contractor equipment used for on site?

It is used to set up and run the site: scaffolding and accessories for working at height, containers for offices, changing rooms and toilets, concrete mixers and formwork for pouring, and chutes and systems for handling rubble. The collection also includes prefabricated modules and compactors. Before choosing, define which stages of the site you need to cover, because each category meets a different need.

Which site container should I choose: 10, 20 or 40 foot?

It depends on the space available and the volume you need to store. The 10 ft container is easier to place in tight areas, while the 40 ft one offers more room for tools and materials. Also check the intended use: there are office, sanitary, logistics and modified versions, as well as the ATEX variants listed in the catalogue.

Do site concrete mixers need a safety check?

Yes, a concrete mixer is a machine and must be used in line with D.Lgs. 81/2008 (the Italian Legislative Decree on workplace safety) and the manufacturer's instructions. Check that it has guards on the moving parts, a power supply suited to its rating and a capacity that matches the mix you need to prepare. Set it up on a stable base, away from excavations and vehicle routes.

How do I choose fixed scaffolding for a building site?

Choose the scaffolding according to the height of the building, the load it must carry and the type of facade. The collection includes multidirectional scaffolding and accessories for fixed scaffolding. Erection must follow the assembly, use and dismantling plan required by D.Lgs. 81/2008 (the Italian Legislative Decree on workplace safety), be carried out by a trained crew and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

What is a sand trap and when is it needed on a building site?

A sand trap separates sand and sediment from run-off water before it is discharged. The catalogue includes polyethylene models, with the reference to standard EN 858-1 shown in the product name. Choose it according to the water flow rate and the amount of sediment expected. Sizing and installation should be checked with the manufacturer and with whoever designs the site drainage.

What formwork and pouring systems are needed on site?

Formwork holds the concrete in place until it has cured, and should be chosen according to the shape of the pour and the number of reuses planned. With a release agent such as Sformacer or Ecofinish, the panel comes away from the surface more easily. Before pouring, check that the panels are clean and tight, because any defects show up on the finished surface.

Who uses building contractor equipment, and for what work?

It is used by building firms, site foremen and technicians who run a site from start to handover. It is needed in the preparation stages: work area, staff facilities, material storage, handling and disposal of construction waste.
