Safety and efficiency aren’t just priorities, they’re non-negotiables. Learn how Mastclimbers can improve your project’s safety versus traditional scaffolding structures while providing significant cost savings to ensure operational and long-term success.
For decision-makers in construction, safety and efficiency aren’t just priorities, they’re non-negotiables. The industry has long relied on scaffolding as the default access solution, but at what cost? With over 400,000 workdays lost in the construction industry in 2023/24 due to injuries, rising safety concerns, time constraints, and operational inefficiencies, it’s time to rethink the status quo.
BFT Mastclimbing offers a smarter, safer, and more efficient alternative: Mast Climbing Work Platforms (MCWPs). Designed to reduce risks, increase productivity, and streamline operations, mastclimbers are rapidly becoming the preferred choice for industry leaders.
Scaffolding remains widespread in construction, yet year after year, it’s linked to some of the industry’s most significant safety risks:
These aren’t just numbers, they represent real risks, real delays, and real costs to construction projects.
Unlike traditional scaffolding, mastclimbers are designed to solve these problems, not contribute to them. Here’s why leading contractors and developers are making the switch:
Mastclimbers provide a stable, enclosed workspace that moves up and down the facade, reducing exposure to falls. With secure access points and built in safety features, the risks associated with unstable scaffolding structures are eliminated. In 2018/19 alone, injuries and ill health cost the UK construction sector £16.5 billion – proof that prioritising safer access solutions is not just about compliance but also about financial sustainability.
Time is money. MCWPs are installed and dismantled 80% faster than scaffolding, allowing projects to move at pace. Workers can access multiple levels without waiting for scaffold adjustments, keeping progress high.
Mastclimbers reduce labour intensive scaffolding setups, leading to up to five times cost savings in installation and dismantling. Fewer materials, reduced downtime, and increased efficiency mean projects stay on budget.
Every project is different. BFT Mastclimbing provides tailored MCWP solutions, ensuring the right fit for any building height, shape, or access requirement. Unlike scaffolding, mastclimbers adapt to the project, not the other way around.
If scaffolding has been your go to solution, it’s time to ask: Why? With safety risks, inefficiencies, and mounting costs, is it really the best option?
BFT Mastclimbing is leading the shift towards safer, faster, and smarter construction access. Decision-makers who prioritise efficiency and worker welfare are already making the move, isn’t it time you did too?
