NIKO Scaffolding Runways: A Popular Choice for Site Lifting
Moving materials around scaffolding can be challenging, particularly when access is restricted or loads need to reach several working positions. NIKO scaffolding runway systems offer a practical way to lift and transport materials throughout a scaffolding structure.
At Protier Lifting Services, NIKO track is a popular solution for projects that need a flexible lifting arrangement suited to the layout of the site.
What Is a NIKO Scaffolding Runway?
A NIKO scaffolding runway consists of a track supported from the scaffolding, with a travelling trolley carrying a suitable hoist. This allows materials to be raised, lowered and moved along the runway to the required position.
Systems can accommodate loads up to 2,000 kg, depending on the track profile, trolley arrangement and support spacing. Manual or electric hoists can be incorporated to suit the application.
Flexible Track Layouts for Your Project
One of the main benefits of NIKO track is its modular construction. Sections can be added, removed or relocated as the project progresses, allowing the runway to adapt to changing site requirements.
Straight and curved sections provide different travel routes, while junction switches allow loads to move between runway sections. Where specified, a cantilever arrangement can extend beyond the scaffolding for loading and unloading.
Key features include:
- Dedicated brackets for attachment to the scaffolding structure.
- Straight and curved track options.
- Junction switches for changes in direction.
- Compatibility with manual and powered hoists.
- Modular components for extension and relocation.
- The option to suspend a travelling bridge between two parallel runways to create a crane system.
A Practical Solution for Material Handling
For construction, refurbishment and maintenance projects, a scaffold runway provides a defined route for moving materials to the work area. It can be particularly useful where conventional lifting equipment has limited access.
The ability to configure the track around the working area makes NIKO a versatile choice for temporary installations and projects with changing requirements.
