What are the weight limits for different types of scaffolding?

The weight capacity of scaffolding varies by type and design:

• Tube and Clamp: Capacity depends on the configuration and the strength of the components.
• System Scaffolding: Typically has higher load capacities due to its pre-engineered design.
