MonoJacks, made by ReechCraft, of Fargo, N.D., use telescoping tubular aluminum legs to hold the jacks against the wall. You set the height by adjusting the length of the legs, or by adjusting the location of the feet at different angles. According to the company, one person can set up two sections and a plank in less than three minutes, and adjust the height without help. With a properly rated plank, one pair of MonoJacks can span 24 feet, and extend to a working height of 22 feet. The WallWalker, now made by Wing Enterprises in Springville, Utah, actually hangs from adjustable hooks set over the top plates of stud walls.
Height is adjusted along the vertical beam and can be changed without removing the staging planks.
This system, though, is really intended for work near the top of a wall section, such as installing joists, rafters and roof trim. Each section includes a handrail post that supports handrails, midrails, and toeboards. The top-plate hooks detach from the sections, for removal after use. All Rights Reserved.
