What is the difference between cantilevered and freestanding loading platforms?

Cantilevered platforms attach to the building structure or scaffold and project outward to receive materials directly, commonly used on high-rise towers once the structure can bear the load. Freestanding or tower-supported platforms are used where the building facade cannot yet support a cantilevered load, often during earlier structural stages. Choosing the wrong type for the construction stage can create both safety and logistical problems. Sparkline Group supplies both platform types and can advise which suits the current stage of a project. This choice should be reviewed as the building progresses upward.
