Some frames come with rungs on one side of the frame and others come with rungs on both sides. If the rungs on the frames are less than 18” apart, the frame itself is allowed to be used as a ladder per OSHA standards Ladder frames can be used on the ends of a scaffolding platform in conjunction with walk-thru frames. They also allow you to create a standing platform and a working platform several feet higher to allow you to keep your tools and materials at waist level. Ladder frames are often used in constructing scaffolding towers, interior applications and where more precise adjustments to the working platform height is needed. With walk through frames, you can create multiple long working platforms on top of each other and have workers traversing and working on each level. They are often used when you need a long working platform and the ability to scaffold and traverse the length of a wall. Walk Thru Frames are open in the middle, allowing you to walk through the frame, even while carrying materials or a wheel barrow. For instance do need to have a work platform on a different elevation than your feet? Do you need ladder rungs on the sides of the scaffolding so you can climb them? Do you need a long platform or a tower? Are you working indoors or outdoors? ![]() Scaffold frame types refer to the purpose and type of work a frame is meant to fulfill.

The pins are what connect the scaffolding frames together vertically and cross braces connect the scaffolding together horizontally. The biggest differences between the three different styles are the leg diameters (meaning they take different size pins), pin hole locations (meaning the location of the pin holes are at different angles in relation to the horizontal axis of the scaffolding frame), and styles of cross brace locks. One of the biggest determining factors in choosing your frame style is whether it will match your existing scaffolding. Because of this, you should be hesitant to use a scaffolding style that is not one of these styles. All if these styles have been in use for many decades so their design and functionality is tried and true.

These are the industry standard styles of scaffold frame in the United States.
