Easy to Use

The Hook-on Scaffold is easy-to-use scaffolding that saves lives and prevents serious injuries. Designed with the tradesman in mind, Hook-on Scaffold is a cost effective and light weight accessory for most trades. It was a winner in the section "Best Solution to an Identified Workplace Health and Safety Issue" of the ACT Workcover Occupational Health & Safety Awards 2005 and was a finalist in the National Awards. The Hook-on Scaffold has been designed as an adjustable and portable scaffold, facilitating the installation of:- roof trusses, floor joists in two storey buildings and fascia boards, guttering and tie down strips or nailing cyclone clips.

Designed With Safety in Mind

The Hook-on Scaffold has been designed for the safety of tradesmen/apprentices. The Hook-on Scaffold replaces the traditional scaffold by being attached to the house/building frame, negating the need for precarious scaffolding legs. The Hook-on Scaffold is at least six times as wide as the top plate, enhancing the safety of tradesmen. The Hook-on Scaffold, through providing greater maneuverability, enables tradesmen to work at hip height, assisting in the prevention of back injury through bending at the waist to secure trusses to buildings.

Tradesmen are protected from icy top plates in winter months as they will have a support structure two planks wide to freely walk on. The Hook-on Scaffold has been stress and weight tested by the University of New South Wales.

The Hook-on Scaffold uses a multi-height support arm which allows tradesmen to use the one product regardless of whether they are working at 2.7m or 2.4m. The working height of the scaffold will be 1.8m from the ground. This allows tradesmen to comply with safety regulations without the added expense of harnesses or rails. However, if the unit is taken above this height restriction, there is a capacity to install rails securely to the Hook-on Scaffold.
