Erect, Plank and Stock 5220 Sq. Feet of MORGEN Scaffolding in 16 Man Hours
Trailer arrives with 24 assembled towers enough to scaffold 180 lineal feet of wall 20% feet high.
Fork lift bracket holds two towers while men attach braces and secure cables.
Fork lift swings upright a free-standing pair of towers and moves them to the new wall.
Stringer braces tie the pairs of towers together. Towers are easily leveled with serew jacks in their bases.
Material is stocked on plank platform.
Laborers winch the carriages up the towers as work progresses.
Fork lift moves a pair of towers to another wall. When job is completed, carriages are lowered and the planks are removed.
Fork lift tilts the scaffolding down and holds it while men remove bracing and inserts over 20% feet high.
Fork lift truck places four towers at a time on the trailer. Trailer will be ready to head for the next job.
Duane Barber of Barber & McDonnell, Inc., Ft. Worth, Texas, is amazed at how much time the Morgen scaffolding handling system saves him. By using the Morgen trailer and the fork lift bracket accessory, he is now erecting and stocking 180 feet of scaffolding 29 feet high in four hours, using three men and a fork lift operator. He is also enjoying a 30% increase in masons' production over conventional scaffolding. See our outdoor display at the MCAA Convention.
