We have also been able to produce special equipment that adapts to our ProSeries mast climbers to help in unusual jobsites or special needed configurations with great speed though Premier Scaffold Solutions on our Washington, DC., job.
Breithaupt: During the last three years, we have concentrated on making our scaffolding more versatile. Contractors have traditionally viewed elevating scaffolding as only for long, straight walls, but we've changed all that. Since jobsites seem to be getting tighter and tighter, we have developed some universal accessories that fit all Non-Stop products, and allow you to turn corners and scaffold radius walls just as fast as straight walls. Moving from wall to wall is four-times faster than conventional scaffolding, at one-fifth of the labor cost.
Speaking of tight jobsites, in some places, it's gotten hard to use a standard forklift. And some walls on tight sites are higher than typical forklifts can reach. We have developed a hoist mounting accessory that allows you to place a Betamax hoist anywhere along the scaffold. On long walls, you can even use more than one hoist. You can hoist bricks, blocks and mortar through a trap-door in the laborer's platform as high as 200 feet. It's good for inside work, where the floors are load-rated. You could feed the scaffold on a tall job with nothing more than a Bobcat.
Masonry: Is your company manufacturing products with any additional safety features, or have you changed any components of your products to create more safety for the user?
Solomon: We deal with this issue with both our companies and take it very seriously. I, personally, have had the pleasure of doing many training classes all over the United States. More recently, Kevin O'Shea with the IPAF and I completed a safety awareness course on mast climbers in Washington, D.C., for OSHA compliance officers and management.
