Selection guide
At Rix Steigersystemen, we are happy to advise you on the right choice of scaffolding. We offer three different scaffolding systems: RMS, RLS and RRS. On this page, we focus on the RMS and RLS systems and explain the differences between them in detail. This will enable you to make an informed choice.
We will not be discussing the RRS system, our mobile scaffolding system, here. This system is fundamentally different in structure and application from the RMS and RLS systems and therefore cannot be directly compared with them.
