爬架又叫提升架，依照其动力来源可分为液压式、电动式、人力手拉式等主要几类。它是近年来开发的新型脚手架体系，主要应用于高层剪力墙式楼盘。它能沿着建筑物往上攀升或下降。这种体系使脚手架技术完全改观：一是不必翻架子；二是免除了脚手架的拆装工序（一次组装后一直用到施工完毕），且不受建筑物高度的限制，极大的节省了人力和材料。并且在安全角度也对于传统的脚手架有较大的改观。在高层建筑中极具发展优势。
Climbing frame is also called lifting frame. According to its power source, it can be divided into hydraulic type, electric type, manual pull type, etc. It is a new scaffold system developed in recent years, which is mainly used in high-rise shear wall buildings. It can climb or descend along the building. This system makes the scaffold technology completely improved: first, it does not need to turn over the scaffold; second, it avoids the disassembly and assembly process of the scaffold (it is always used after the first assembly), and is not limited by the height of the building, which greatly saves manpower and materials. And in terms of safety, it also has a great change for the traditional scaffold. In high-rise buildings, it has great development advantages.
