The multiple bracing points on Auto-Lock frames allow crosses or horizontal to be places as guardrails, and raised or lowered to give free access to wall areas. Frames of various heights can be combined to meet all elevation requirements. 7' or 10' Bracing - 7' bracing is recommended for masonry and other heavy trades where heavy materials are stored on the scaffold platform. All bottom frames should rest on metal base plates. Lack of adjustability limits their use.
Screw jacks provide complete adjustability and can be used on heavy or light trade scaffolds.
3' or 5' Wide - 5' wide frames offer greater platform and material storage area and are preferred by the masonry trades. Both 3' and 5' frames must be tied to the wall, with the result that stability and safety are not affected by tower width. Lower investment - Frame cost is lower and plank costs are cut. Lower labor costs - The lighter 3' wide frame is easier to handle and plank handling costs are substantially reduce on every job. Scaffold heights - 3' wide scaffolds can be built to high elevations because of reduced plank load.
