Échafaudages volants. Constitués par des structures légères [...] suspendus à des filins s'enroulant sur des palans [...], ils servent aux travaux sur façades à partir d'un point d'appui haut, libérant ainsi la circulation au pied même du bâtiment. Les palans sont manœuvrables depuis l'échafaudage lui-même par les ouvriers qui règlent ainsi leur plan de travail [...] 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9chafaudage%20volant

Le «flying scaffold» et le «swing scaffold (or stage)» sont deux types d'échafaudage volant qui diffèrent uniquement par le mode d'amarrage au sommet du bâtiment : le premier est retenu à des poutrelles équilibrées et le second est retenu par un système de moufles et de câbles. Strictement parlant, le terme «flying scaffold» correspond à un «échafaudage volant en bascule» (cf. Grand dictionnaire encyclopédique Larousse (LAROG), 1982, vol. 4, p. 3504). 4, record 1, French, - %C3%A9chafaudage%20volant

A suspended scaffold consists of two horizontal putlogs, short timbers that support the flooring of the scaffold, each attached to a drum mechanism. Cables extend from each drum to an outrigger beam attached overhead to the structure frame. Ratchet devices on the drums provide for raising or lowering the putlogs between which spanning planks form the working surface. 5, record 3, English, - suspended%20scaffold
