Total Aluminium Adjustable Trestles

Getting a work platform up quickly is half the job. The Total Aluminium Adjustable Trestles give you a lightweight, practical way to build a temporary platform on site, whether you are painting, plastering, rendering, laying brick, working on ceilings or doing general maintenance.

They carry a 265kg safe working load, they are light enough to reposition on your own and the adjustable legs let you get level on ground that is not. Six platform heights from 1.2m up to 4.8m, so you can match the trestle to the job rather than working off the wrong one.

Stock And Lead Times

• 4.2m and 4.8m: on special while stock lasts. We have limited units in Sydney at a sharper price. Once they are gone, these two revert to standard pricing with a 12 week lead time.
• 1.2m and 1.8m: 12 week lead time. These two are import only at the moment, so allow 12 weeks from order.
• 2.4m, 3.0m and 3.6m: in stock, ready to ship.

Stock moves, so the size dropdown always shows the current position. Give us a call on 1800 953 996 if you need it sooner than the lead time allows.

Why Tradies Choose The Total Aluminium Adjustable Trestles

• Built to resist flex. A strong, durable frame that stays steady under load, so the platform does not move around while you work.
• Light enough to shift on your own. Aluminium construction from 18kg, so carrying and repositioning is a one-person job.
• Adjustable legs for uneven ground. 20mm increments up to 230mm of adjustment, which is what gets you level on a sloping slab or soft ground.
• Quick to set up. Less time assembling gear, more time on the tools.
• 265kg safe working load. Room for the crew and the materials.
• 10 year manufacturer's warranty.

What You Need To Make A Full Trestle Kit With Planks And Handrail

A trestle platform is simpler than it looks. Here is exactly what goes into one, so nothing turns up missing on the morning of the job.

• Two trestles make one bay. A bay is the span between them. The trestle sets your platform height, not its length.
• Planks lay across the trestles. Plank length sets how long the platform is. Pick your height first, then your length.
• Going further than 3m apart? Use two planks side by side. One plank spans up to 3.0m between trestles. Two planks joined with plank locks span up to 5.4m. Two also gives you a wider walking surface with noticeably less bend underfoot, which is why most crews run two.
• Working above 2m means edge protection. That is the Trestle Handrail Kit. It covers one bay and brings the outriggers, posts, rails, plank clamps and plank locks with it.
• To go longer, add a bay. Each extra bay needs one more trestle, one or two more planks and one Link-Up Kit. The Link-Up Kit extends the handrail with no gap in the barrier.
• Trestles and planks are sold separately from both the Handrail Kit and the Link-Up Kit. Neither kit includes them.

Quick reference:

• One bay: 2 trestles, 1 or 2 planks, 1 Handrail Kit.
• Two bays: 3 trestles, 2 or 4 planks, 1 Handrail Kit plus 1 Link-Up Kit.
• Each extra bay after that: add 1 more trestle, 1 or 2 more planks and 1 more Link-Up Kit.
