Steel or aluminum: choosing platform material

Compare handling requirements and surface options for your project.

Consider assembly frequency

Aluminum sections reduce handling weight during repeated assembly and relocation. Consider how often the equipment will move between elevations or projects.

Compare surface options

BuildingLift lists painted steel, hot-dip galvanized steel and aluminum options. Discuss the working environment, storage and handling requirements when choosing the material and finish.

Keep configuration separate from material

Material selection does not establish the permitted load or roof suitability. Confirm the exact platform layout, rated load and matching components for the proposed system.
