Euroscaffold vs. Alumexx: Which Rolling Scaffold Brand is Right for Your Business?

Euroscaffold and Alumexx are the two brands that make up the majority of the mobile scaffold tower range at Gerüstexpress. Both provide standard-compliant, professional scaffolding – but they have different strengths, different system logics, and sometimes serve different target groups. This comparison will help you make the right choice.

Euroscaffold: The System for Professional Everyday Use

Euroscaffold is a Dutch brand specializing in professional climbing equipment for commercial use. The mobile scaffold towers are based on the Euro-frame system – a ladder-like aluminum frame characterized by quick assembly, high stability, and a well-thought-out modular system.

What makes Euroscaffold special: The product range is consistently designed for system compatibility. Frames, platforms, stabilizers, and guardrails from various models can be combined. This saves long-term investment costs because the system can be expanded with additional components instead of being re-purchased.

Euroscaffold offers various series:

• Basic 75 cm – the entry-level model for confined spaces and narrow areas
• Basic 90 cm – versatile, suitable for indoor and outdoor use
• Basic 135 cm – the wider version for larger work areas
• Professional with Advance Guardrail 90 cm – with an integrated advance guardrail system for maximum working safety

Alumexx: Lightweight, Compact, Competitively Priced

Alumexx is a Dutch private label that is strongly positioned in the mid-price segment. The Light series is aimed at businesses and DIY enthusiasts looking for reliable, standard-compliant scaffolding without incurring the full investment cost of a premium system.

Alumexx scaffolds are lighter than comparable Euroscaffold models – an advantage for teams that need to transport the scaffolding daily. The system depth (accessories, extension frames, special solutions) is narrower than with Euroscaffold, but this is not a problem for most standard applications.

• Alumexx Light 90 cm – lightweight, stable, affordable entry into the professional segment
• Alumexx Light 135 cm – wide version for larger areas

Direct Comparison: Euroscaffold vs. Alumexx

System Depth and Expandability: Euroscaffold is clearly ahead. Those who want to expand their system later, supplement it with special accessories, or configure it for specific applications are better off with Euroscaffold.

Weight and Transport: Alumexx has advantages. Lighter frames mean less physical effort during daily transport – a real plus for teams that visit many different sites.

Price-Performance: Both brands offer very good value for money in the professional segment. Alumexx is cheaper to purchase, while Euroscaffold often pays off better in the long run due to its higher system compatibility.

Advance Guardrail: Only Euroscaffold offers the integrated advance guardrail system (Advance Guard) – a significant safety advantage where the guardrail of the next platform level is already assembled from the current level.

Which Brand Suits Me?

Euroscaffold is the first choice for commercial businesses with regular use who want to build and expand their system long-term. Alumexx is the right choice for businesses with a clear focus on easy transport and solid basic equipment without complex system requirements.
