Scaffolding Accessories
Inserts and Brackets
FIRST, let's slip into something a little more comfortable, like any one of the inserts, bridges or brackets that are available to extend the capabilities of your scaffolding.
Hydro Mobile of L'Assomption, Québec, just released its new Multi-purpose Insert at the World of Masonry show in January. While an insert may not be anything new to the masonry world, this product allows contractors to dress up their scaffold for almost any situation.
"It is important for each contractor's investment to be working for him or her as much as possible," says Chad Baumgartner, Director of Business Development for Hydro Mobile. "These accessories allow the contractor to use Hydro Mobile on every project." In this case, the new insert has improved upon an already good idea.
"The Multi-purpose Insert is a section of bridging that can be used as a cantilever, an insert or an extension in many different directions," says Baumgartner. "It has the ability to be used one in front of another, thus replacing the Forward Extension we have offered in the past that was limited to one application only. This section adds to the flexibility of the equipment to meet all of your building configurations."

It's brackets, hoists and weather enclosures that are the jewel of the mason contractor's eye when it comes to accessorizing their scaffolding units.
From straight lines to curvaceous corners, Non-Stop Scaffolding's inside and outside corner brackets are a great accessory, this time to accentuate the twists and turns of any building.
"These brackets snap on without tools and make our elevating scaffolding go in place for inside and outside corners faster than conventional frames can," says Breithaupt. "So for cut-up walls, sawtooth walls, the tops of inside and outside corners, ours goes in place safer and faster than frames."
