Uitbouwsteiger

Dutch to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Scaffolding types
Just need a little help pinpointing this exact scaffold type referenced on pg 43 & 45 of http://www.arbouw.nl/pdf/a-bladen/a-blad-veilige-steiger.pdf All the context and images one a little more versed in construction might need are there.

The V in the legend on page 45 is a typo for U.

The above doc is not the one I'm translating (it's less construction oriented). Nonetheless, the section that I AM translating is in a safety document that points to fall risks in relation people who work at heights on an "uitbouwsteiger" vs. tarped in scaffolds and suspended scaffolds.

External scaffolding If you google 'external scaffolding' and compare images of this to 'uitbouwsteiger', I would be tempted to think that you could translate it as 'external scaffolding'.

The a-blad pdf is the same as the doc I posted Cantilever is the closest I can come up with. THAT is synonymous with truss-out, but I'm not even entirely sure.

hmm Nope, 'uitbouwsteiger' + 'uitsteeksteiger' are different. see: http://www.epimeter.nl/Resources/a-blad-veilige-steiger.pdf

(PS: very clear images of 12 different types of scaffolding on page 43, incl. 'uitbouwsteiger' + 'uitsteeksteiger')
I made a screenshot of the steigertypes and put it here: http://wordbook.nl/screenshots/steigertypes.png

another guess uitwijksteiger = truss-out scaffold (OGL)

image: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q="truss-out scaffold"&espv=... (looks kind of like your 'uitbouwsteiger')

'projecting scaffold'? See: http://www.translatorscafe.com/tcterms/EN/thQuestion.aspx?id... (Romanian)

Could 'uitsteeksteiger' be a synonym?

This image of the 'schelă în consolă' ('projecting scaffold') also kind of resembles your 'uitbouwsteiger': http://www.mediabiz.ro/produse/178-schele-metalice/37-schela... (same thing as in the TranslatorsCafe question/image)

Wow, never knew there were so many types of scaffolding. Have a look here: https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/etools/scaffolding/supported/speci...
