Design and Construction of Scaffolding with a Lifting Capacity of 300 kg Using a Drive Electric Hoist AC 220 V

Oct 28, 2026

Maintenance and repair work in a building or structure is not limited to low areas; it often involves high places that require assistive devices. Scaffolding is designed through literature study and data collection at the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Semarang State Polytechnic to determine requirements for height assistive equipment. The study designs electric scaffolding with 300 kg capacity and evaluates performance.

The assistive device in question is scaffolding. The design of this scaffolding begins with a literature study followed by data collection in the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Semarang State Polytechnic to obtain data on the need for height assistive devices which are used as a reference for making electric scaffolding. The purpose of this study is to design an electric scaffolding with a capacity of 300 kg and to perform the performance of the electric scaffolding made. After the design of the electric scaffolding, the dimensions of the equipment were obtained, namely 1000 mm x 1500 mm x 2000 mm and specifications that can lift goods with a maximum height of 5 m, a minimum height of 0.35 m, a maximum load of 300 kg and an AC 220 V electric hoist drive. Based on the results of the performance test, in this case the test data was taken from the weight of the load that the machine can lift based on the travel time when the machine moves up and down. The load weight of 300 kg with electric scaffolding was covered in 27.44 seconds when going up and 21.02 seconds when moving down.

Introduction The performance of a construction project is influenced by factors of manpower and related resources (Li et al., 2021)(Fang et al., 2018) . Among the resources in question is scaffolding. Scaffolding is a temporary structure used to support workers, tools, and materials when working at height (Dzeng et al., 2024) . Scaffolding or another name for scaffolding generally requires assembly before use, so that it forms a certain structure so that it can be used to work at height. The structure is shaped like a platform where workers carry out their tasks and work. The structure is sometimes equipped with a net like a fishing net as seen in Fig. 1. This safety net is installed to prevent small debris from falling outside the work area and hitting people around it. Scaffolding is necessary especially for construction work that is above 1.8 meters above the ground (Andu, 2019) . Figure 1. Scaffolding equipped with safety net There are 2 types of scaffolding materials (shore) that have been used in construction as supports in terms of the materials used (Heinz Frick, 2002), among others: a. Wooden or bamboo scaffolding is a type of scaffolding material that is widely used today, as seen in Fig. 2. However, its use is generally limited to houses or buildings that are not too tall or heavy. To assemble the wooden scaffolding into a structure, rope or wire is used to tie the pieces together. Figure 2. Wooden or bamboo scaffolding b. Scaffolding made from steel/iron pipe and manufactured as a product is better known as frame scaffolding. The frame scaffolding, as seen in Fig. 3, is factory-made but can be as

FAQs

What is the main goal of the study?

To design electric scaffolding with a lifting capacity of 300 kg and conduct performance testing of the constructed device.

What are the key technical specifications reported for the scaffolding?

The dimensions are 1000 mm x 1500 mm x 2000 mm, with a maximum lift height of 5 m, a minimum height of 0.35 m, a maximum load of 300 kg, and an AC 220 V electric hoist drive.

How is performance evaluated in the article?

Performance is assessed using test data based on the load weight the machine can lift and the travel time when moving up and down.
