What Is Cantilever or Gantry Scaffolding?
Cantilever Scaffolding (Gantry Scaffolding) is a structure supported by strong beams or needles anchored into a building or framework — allowing the platform to project outwards from the main structure.
It’s ideal for projects where the ground below cannot support traditional scaffolding, such as over glass roofs, conservatories, pavements, or busy entrances.
Each cantilever system is custom-engineered by TG4 to ensure maximum safety, balance, and stability.
TG4’s cantilever scaffolds are commonly used for:
- Building façades with restricted access
- Work above glass roofs or conservatories
- Projects over public pavements or roads
- Roofline repairs and guttering maintenance
- Bridge, tunnel, or overhang works
- High-level structural inspections or surveys
Our Service
TG4 Scaffolding Ltd offers a complete design, engineering, and installation service for all cantilever scaffolding systems.

We liaise closely with site managers and contractors to coordinate installations safely, keeping disruption to an absolute minimum while maintaining full site accessibility.
Safety & Compliance
All TG4 cantilever scaffolding systems are designed in accordance with BS EN 12811-1 safety standards and relevant UK Health & Safety Executive (HSE) guidance.
Each installation includes load testing, safety checks, and regular inspections, ensuring total structural integrity and worker safety throughout the project.
