FAQ

Trestle related questions?

What trestle size is the right size?

You'll need to consider 2 factors.

(1) What height are you looking to reach or stand on?
(2) How are the environmental conditions?

Now you can move onto choosing the right size trestle.

Case example: 1.8m-2.1m Trestle model

The trestle's base height when adjustable legs are fully extended will be the approximate height you'll stand on.
The reach of your arms will be approximately +2m.

Therefore 1.8m is the standing height with 3.8m reachability.

Environmental considerations:

Are you planning to use this on flat ground or uneven ground?

If uneven ground, then a larger size can make up for the difference in uneven ground.

Are you planning to use indoors? 

If indoors, then a smaller trestle size is easier indoors.

Top rung dimensions?

The top rung is spaced approx. 200mm down from the top.

Top run tappers off at the top to approx. 600mm wide, capable of supporting 2x planks side-by-side.

Width of trestle frame?

The frame of the trestle is wider at the base and narrower at the top.

Base frame width (approx.):

1.8m to 2.1m 0.84m
2.4m to 2.7m 0.93m
3.0m to 3.3m 1.03m
3.6m to 3.9m 1.10m
4.2m to 4.5m 1.19m
4.8m to 5.1m 1.28m

Top frame width (approx.):

All trestle sizes 0.57m

Width between legs when trestle opened?

Dimensions (approx.):
1.8m to 2.1m 1.22m
2.4m to 2.7m 1.59m
3.0m to 3.3m 1.93m
3.6m to 3.9m 2.30m
4.2m to 4.5m 2.67m
4.8m to 4.8m 3.05m

Why is the trestle product length longer than the actual model name?

The model name is named after the approx. size of the trestle when opened and setup.

We do not want to offer you a trestle that is shorter than you require.

How many rungs are there?

1.8m to 2.1m 3 rungs
2.4m to 2.7m 4 rungs
3.0m to 3.3m 5 rungs
3.6m to 3.9m 6 rungs
4.2m to 4.5m 7 rungs
4.8m to 5.1m 8 rungs

Do you have trestles with rubber feet?

No.

We recommend clients use only aluminium plated feet for everlasting use. Rubber will wear-and-tear.

To best avoid marking the floor, then it may be better to consider a non-slip rubber mat to cover the floor, which is cost-effective and replaceable.
