"If the scaffold is not ready when the
mason needs it, profits are lost.
If it is not set up and used properly,
lives are lost."
Clint Bridges,
EZ Scaffold
The wide platforms hold a lot of weight, which lets
masonry contractors set brick or block on the scaffold
where laborers can easily reach it, he says. "The deck is 7
feet wide, which is a lot more space for holding material.
There's a lot of room for laborers to move around."
Columbia, Tenn.-based EZ Scaffold has sliding gates, so
no one has to stand next to an opening.
"If the scaffold is assembled correctly, they are enclosed
platforms from the ground to the top of wall," says Clint
Bridges, EZ Scaffold VP. "There are no boards to jump or
platforms to reconfigure. The top safety rail, mid-safety
rail, and toe boards are all built in."
Even though mast climbers are easy to set up and use, con-
tractors need to follow through on training, he says. "If the
scaffold is not ready when the mason needs it, profits are lost.
If it is not set up and used properly, lives are lost."
