Hoists
Material hoists, and hoists with passenger carriage wherever people have to go up several times a day.
Anton Muckel Gerüstbau GmbH erects facade and interior scaffolding, temporary roofing and special structures. The firm is based in Linnich and works across the Heinsberg district, Geilenkirchen and all of its quarters included.
From the survey to the strike
Scaffolding is the workplace of every other trade. It decides how quickly a roof is covered, a facade rendered or a window set, and it decides how safely that can be done. We survey the building, plan the structure around what is actually there, and hand over something the build programme can rely on.

Chapter 01
What gets erected in Geilenkirchen
The firm covers the whole scaffolding programme. A house in Hünshoven is surveyed exactly as a hall on an industrial estate is: the building first, the structure after it.
01
Facade scaffolding
The standard structure on houses, apartment blocks and office buildings. Surveyed on site, erected along the facade, with decking and edge protection on every lift.
02
Interior scaffolding
Full area working decks inside, for ceilings, halls, stairwells and refurbishment, wherever the whole floor plan has to be worked over.
03
Suspended scaffolding
Working decks hung from above wherever nothing can be stood up from below, over water, over a traffic route or under a structure.
04
Mobile towers
Rolling structures for short jobs, for work that travels along the building.
05
Modular scaffolding
System scaffolding for irregular plans, extensions, bays and everything that refuses to sit on a grid.
06
Heavy duty scaffolding
Load bearing structures for high loads, for propping and for components that need support for a while.
07
Industrial scaffolding
Structures inside a working plant, at vessels, installations and halls, planned around access, routes and operating hours.
08
Temporary roofing
Weather protection over the site, so that an open roof or an open facade does not have to wait for the next dry week.
09
Staging
Platforms and stands for events, assembled from scaffolding components and laid out for the planned build.
10
Stair towers and escape stairs
Stair units as access to the structure and as a second way out when the usual route is closed.
11
Special structures
Everything with no standard measure: bridging spans, free spanning sections, connections into existing buildings.
12
Equipment hire
Hoists with and without passenger carriage, telehandlers with a range of attachments, and lorries with a loader crane and container body.

When there is no ground under the structure
Not every site has a load bearing surface beneath it. Over a watercourse, over an embankment, over a carriageway or over a track, the working deck has to become the structure itself. That is what a special structure is for.
Structures like these do not come out of a catalogue. They are surveyed on the object, assembled from lattice girders, propping and modular components, and tied into what is already standing. The photographs show a temporary walkway taken across a watercourse beside an existing bridge: lattice girders as the frame, a continuous steel deck, handrails on both sides, a connection to each bank.
- Bridging
- Free spans over ditches, watercourses and paths, carried on lattice girders instead of props standing in the water.
- Propping
- Load transfer where nothing may be stood up, for instance over an entrance that has to stay open.
- Tying into what is there
- Ties and bearings on the existing building, planned around whatever stays in place.
- Access
- A safe route onto the deck, with handrails and slip resistant decking over the whole length.

How a structure comes about
Five steps, from the first message to a cleared site. The order never changes; the effort in each step does.
-
01
Enquiry
You write what is coming up: the building, the rough height, the planned period. One photograph of the facade helps more than any description.
-
02
Survey on site
We look at the place itself: access, ground, projections, services, boundaries. What can be erected follows from that.
-
03
Quotation and date
You get the scope, the standing time and the date in writing. Only then is the job scheduled.
-
04
Erection and handover
The structure is erected, checked and handed over. You know what it carries and how it is entered.
-
05
Striking
At the end of the standing time it is struck and the area cleared. One call is enough.
Chapter 04
Older facades need a different structure
On a building with cornices, pilaster strips and old masonry, the question is not where the scaffolding should go but where it must not be tied.
Brick, dressed stone and old render do not take an anchor just anywhere. Projections, eaves and existing outbuildings set out the structure, and work often has to run while the place stays in use, because an entrance or a platform is to remain open. The photograph shows facade scaffolding on a historic brick building, erected over an existing canopy.
- Anchors by inspection
- Ties are set where the substrate allows it, not where the grid would like them.
- Over what is there
- Canopies, extensions and external stairs are spanned rather than cleared away.
- The place stays open
- Entrances, routes and areas that remain in use are left free and protected.
Chapter 05
The equipment that belongs with it
Material has to go up, and it has to come down again. The firm hires out its own equipment for that, with or without a scaffold.
Telehandlers
With a range of attachments, for loads that will reach their place neither by hand nor on a forklift.
Lorry with loader crane
With a container body, for delivery, repositioning and removal in one run.
Equipment is hired to trades and to private clients. What is needed is settled beforehand on the telephone.

Enquiry for Geilenkirchen and the surrounding area
Write briefly what is coming up. The more precisely the building, the height and the period are described, the more solid the answer will be.
This is what helps us
- Which building is it, and where does it stand?
- How high does the work reach, and over what period?
- Is there anything unusual: access, slope, open routes, services?
- Is it only the scaffold, or equipment as well?
Rather speak to someone
A call settles a great deal faster than a form. The firm can be reached on the number in the legal notice.

Frequently asked
Facade, interior, suspended, mobile, modular, heavy duty and industrial scaffolding, together with temporary roofing, staging, stair tower units and escape stairs, and special structures.
Yes. Where there is no load bearing surface beneath, bridging spans and propping are built from lattice girders and modular components. The photographs in the chapter on special structures show one such temporary walkway over a watercourse.
Yes. With brick, dressed stone and old render the ties follow what the building itself allows, and projections or canopies are spanned rather than removed.
We reply once the enquiry has arrived. We do not name a fixed deadline, because it depends on the workload and on the scope. If it is urgent, please call.
Yes. Hoists with and without passenger carriage, telehandlers with a range of attachments, and lorries with a loader crane and container body can be asked for separately.
From the registered office at Im Gansbruch 22, 52441 Linnich. The Heinsberg district is served from there, with Geilenkirchen and the surrounding towns.
