"Scaffolding Column" from a long-established temporary equipment manufacturer with over 70 years of history At Chuo Built Industry, we provide accurate knowledge and information about scaffolding to contribute to safety and efficiency at construction sites. Please use this for knowledge reinforcement, self-improvement, and in-house training. <Introducing 20 commonly used technical terms in the scaffolding industry> In construction sites, there are industry-specific technical terms. In high-risk environments such as working at heights, communication issues can lead to mistakes and accidents. That said, for those with less experience, it may take time to learn these technical terms. Therefore, this time we will explain the technical terms used in the scaffolding industry. Please see below for more details.

We have updated the "Scaffolding Column," which is useful for construction site work, unique to a temporary structure manufacturer. In construction work, scaffolding is essential for performing tasks at heights. Currently, scaffolding is being used in various construction projects. At first glance, scaffolding may seem to be set up in a straightforward manner, but if it is not properly designed and assembled, it can hinder work. Therefore, this time, we will explain the design of scaffolding and how to create drawings. Please see below for more details.

We have updated our "Scaffolding Column," which is useful for construction site work, unique to a scaffolding manufacturer. This time, we will explain what "Special Education for Scaffolding Assembly" is and how to obtain the qualification. In construction work, it is essential to secure scaffolding, which serves as the working platform. To prevent labor accidents caused by falls from scaffolding, workers must have knowledge about scaffolding, work methods, and labor accident prevention. Due to the background of frequent labor accidents, part of the Labor Safety and Health Regulations was revised in 2015, adding "Special Education for Scaffolding Assembly." Therefore, this time we will provide a detailed introduction to "Special Education for Scaffolding Assembly." We will also check the course content, the process for obtaining qualifications, and the differences from the "Scaffolding Assembly Work Supervisor Skills Training." Please see below for more details.

We have started publishing "Scaffolding Columns," which are useful for construction site work, unique to a scaffolding manufacturer. New employees and those who have transitioned to construction-related jobs will find it educational, and even veterans can reaffirm their knowledge. By checking our site for scaffolding knowledge and the latest information on construction sites, you can save the trouble of searching elsewhere. We aim to create such a site. We will be updating it consistently, so please visit our site regularly!

Temporary soundproof panels used in demolition work. Despite the need for robustness, conventional products had weak corners, leading to damage or deformation that rendered them unusable, resulting in repair costs. To solve these issues, demolition professionals developed the temporary soundproof panel "Noise Guard." By adopting aluminum die-casting for the corner pieces, high strength and high rigidity have been achieved. Not only is it sturdy and resistant to breakage, but it also allows for partial repairs that were previously difficult, contributing to cost reduction.

Hello, Built! This is Tamura from Chuo Built Industry (^_-)-☆ We had a visit from Company A, which is also a temporary equipment manufacturer and involved in leasing, just like us. Since there were more than 10 people, we divided the tour into a morning session and an afternoon session. The exhibition manager, Mr. Oki, was even more enthusiastic than usual! Unfortunately, it rained that day. At times, it poured heavily in both the morning and afternoon, so we mingled and waited for the rain to lighten before heading outside. We made sure to introduce not only our site but also our recently started YouTube channel! ------------------------------------------------ For more details, please click on the link below: "Related Links - Chuo Built's Temporary Exhibition Diary Vol.004".

Hello, Built! This is Tamura from Chuo Built Industry (^_-)-☆ Recently, a rental company for temporary equipment, Company S, visited our exhibition hall to make a proposal to their customers. First, we explained the overview of the exhibition hall and provided a collection of design examples of our system products in a classroom setting, after which they experienced the exhibition hall. According to Company S, they often receive inquiries about our multi-truss from their customers, but since they were not familiar with the products, they expressed a desire to learn more. During the visit, they were surprised to see items like the Alcolum and ID-15, realizing how convenient these products are. After the tour, they mentioned that they would like to gather the representatives from each of their sales offices for another visit. Thank you for coming despite the heat! We look forward to seeing you again!

Hello, Built! This is Tamura from Chuo Built Industry (^_-)-☆ We had the pleasure of welcoming Y Company, which specializes in large-scale renovation work for condominiums and buildings. It seems they are interested in our popular products, Multi Truss A and B, as well as lightweight square columns. They were very eager to learn and were taking photos and videos for internal use. In our exhibition hall, photography is generally free! Please feel free to share widely (*^-^*) After the visit, we received the kind words that they would like to introduce the materials, photos, and videos used during the exhibition tour at their internal meeting. We can also hold remote meetings and webinars, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you're interested!

Hello, Built! This is Tamura from Chuo Built Industry (^_-)-☆ We had the pleasure of welcoming representatives from Company Y, which specializes in large-scale renovation work for condominiums. In some cases, the scaffolding materials like frames and wedges may not be sufficient, so they expressed interest in our special materials such as square columns and multi-trusses. Since there were five attendees, we divided them into two groups to go up on the scaffolding. We have safety harnesses prepared, so as long as you come in comfortable clothing, there’s no problem (*^-^*) As they toured the exhibition, they seemed to become interested in our aluminum step guards, noting that the lightness when comparing the steel and aluminum versions left a strong impression. Additionally, since Company Y primarily focuses on large-scale renovation work, they requested the development of temporary materials like sky fences that can be used in environments where people live. I will promptly share this with our product development department and consider it as a hint for future development projects. Thank you for visiting us despite the significant temperature fluctuations! We look forward to seeing you again!

The only large ceiling fan made in Japan, "THE FIRST FAN," is effective for condensation prevention on floors and products in warehouses, factories, and workspaces. Its power consumption is equivalent to that of a household hairdryer, with electricity costs around 245 yen per day. It can be directly mounted to the ceiling, making it possible to install even with ceiling cranes present.

Are you having trouble finding the right baseboards for the scaffolding materials your company owns? Chuo Built's baseboards feature a rich lineup suitable for everything from frame scaffolding to wedge-locked scaffolding (next-generation scaffolding). The main material used is high corrosion-resistant and high-tensile steel plates, achieving excellent durability and lightweight design. They are used in a wide range of sites, from local general contractors to major general contractors, ensuring safe and reliable use. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

By securing the steel plate with fasteners instead of welding, it prevents misalignment and flapping caused by damage to the welded areas, contributing to the prevention of accidents. Unlike welding, it is not affected by weather, which also aids in process management. Additionally, there are no residues from welding, so there are no removal costs when returning the lease. We provide more detailed information in related products and catalogs.

This is a site where a temporary work passage of 15 meters in length was created by laying scaffolding boards on top of the large-span box-type truss material "Multi Truss A." We have received gratitude from customers for being able to install it in a simpler and more cost-effective manner compared to conventional methods. If you would like to hear more details, please feel free to contact us.

In the future, it is expected that renovation work will significantly increase, particularly in the metropolitan area. Especially in renovation projects such as condominiums, consideration for residents and users is essential, unlike in new construction or demolition work. Therefore, we would like to introduce the "Sky Fence," a protective frame that is aesthetically pleasing and safe to touch, making it ideal for renovation work. The "Sky Fence," made from high-tensile steel plates with a punching process, is flat and does not have the protrusions found in traditional protective frames made from expanded metal, ensuring safety even if residents or small children accidentally touch it during condominium renovation work. Additionally, it is visually appealing and does not detract from the urban landscape. In response to customer feedback regarding deformation during demolition and crushing when stacked, we have released a renewed product that incorporates aluminum reinforcements into the frame, achieving greater strength. We also offer options for frame scaffolding and wedge-locked scaffolding (next-generation scaffolding). Please feel free to contact us.

"Step Guard," a stair opening handrail used to prevent falls from stair openings. The "Aluminum Step Guard" is a stair opening handrail that weighs 6.2 kg, approximately 60% lighter than conventional steel products. With its simple design and lightweight construction, the burden of installation and removal work is dramatically improved! It also contributes to addressing the aging workforce issues in scaffolding work! Additionally, the arm can be opened and closed at a 90-degree angle, eliminating the previously existing triangular opening and significantly enhancing safety. Differentiating with high-value-added products serves as a countermeasure against futile price competition with other companies! *Related products and catalogs provide more detailed information.
