Note:
This calculator helps determine the load distribution per leg for a scaffold. The total load is shared among the legs depending on the total load and the number of legs.
- Total Intended Load (TIL): The total load on the scaffold (in kilograms or pounds). If you need help calculating the total intended load, please use the buttons below.
- Number of Legs (N): The number of scaffold legs supporting the load. Scaffold legs are vertical components of the scaffold structure that bear the weight of the scaffold and any equipment or workers on it. Each leg helps distribute the load across the scaffold system to ensure stability and safety.
After entering the values, click the Calculate Load Per Leg button.
The result will show the load per leg to ensure that each leg is properly supporting the total load.
