SAFWAY SOLVES AGAIN!

TAY


Problem:
Rauenhorst Concrete Construction of Minneapolis needed a method of keeping men and materials at the best height while doing masonry work, without having to move scaffolding platforms more often than necessary. They discussed the problem with Henry Lingl of the Safway branch office in Minneapolis.


Solution:
Henry visited one of Rauenhorst's construction sites, looked over the situation, then put his experience to work. His solution: Safway's "Mobile Bracket." The unique bracket proved to be more than a lifting device-it's a labor-saving system, which raises masons' productivity by continually positioning them at ideal working heights, and by eliminating the delay of moving scaffold planks and materials from one level to the next. The reduced costs have given Rauenhorst's bidding advantages, enabling them to secure profitable contracts.

Rauenhorst Concrete Construction has learned they can bank on Henry to come up with solid solutions to scaffolding problems... and to show up fast on a job site when they need service.

Yet, among Safway people, Henry Lingl's nothing special. He's simply typical of experienced Safway people from coast to coast who are proving daily that one of the big differences in scaffolding is people.

Since Safway was the first company to make and market steel scaffolding, Safway people have more experience with scaffolding than anyone else. See for yourself. Next time you need scaffolding to put you where your work is, call the people who know scaffolding best... call one of the "Problem Solvers" from Safway.
