The live load is the total amount of weight allowed on the scaffold
that includes persons plus materials for each platform in each
bay.
To calculate the live load on one standard, we assume that each
standard in that bay will only support a third of the live load of
that bay. This allows for uneven distribution of the load across
the working platform.
Live load = 225Kg for a light duty scaffold per working platform.
450Kg for a medium duty scaffold per working platform.
675Kg for a heavy duty scaffold per working platform.
