Z-PLANK
Pa JAS
Z-Plank from Kennison Forest Products is a laminated veneer lumber (LVL) plank that the company says provides the structural uniformity of LVL combined with strict quality control processes to offer a safe and reliable scaffold planking.
Colby Hubler of Mill Direct Lumber Sales, whose scaffold plank is shown in use here, says that if the buyer is aware of what to look for in a legitimate manufacturer, eventually there will be no room for the unsafe products.
