How can you scaffold for masonry when a 4' unreinforced concrete canopy protrudes the wall, when there are concrete steps and sers along the wall, when the site is sloping full of holes?
Tacky Arnes Masonry Co., Tallmadge (Akron), used the versatile Morgen Adjustable Scaf- ng to overcome these obstacles on the South- Sewage Disposal Plant for the City of Cleve-.
Morgen towers are in the center of the work- platforms. The masons' platform, extended to e planks wide, reached across the canopy with Conventional scaffolding could not have been without first shoring up the canopy to sup- it.
Some Morgen towers were placed on top of the rete bunkers, others were set on the stair- 3. Each carriage has a built-in winch which sts platform height to provide a level plat- in spite of sloping or uneven ground.
To build 850 lineal feet of 8" solid brick exterior 49' high Arnes used 74 Morgen towers 46'. Completely assembled pairs of towers were ed from one section of wall to the next by the lift truck. With the building closed in before weather hit, Arnes moved his Morgen Scaf- ng inside to lay a 4" tile back-up. Adjustable olding is especially valuable on glazed tile be- masons working at a constant level do more rm work faster.
Arnes laid 450,000 brick in seven weeks despite ems in getting enough masons in a peak п.
A 40 reach lift truck placed 24" x 32" pallets aterial directly on the Morgen material plat- in areas it could reach. Pallets were split into 24" units and wheeled along the rear tenders orm to stock other areas. Material islands to y those areas the fork couldn't reach were ed heavily and raised along with the working orm as the wall progressed. When these is- exceeded the reach of the fork lift, Arnes a dirt ramp for each island so the fork could nue to stock the scaffolding.
Morgen's great versatility and ease of stocking nmaking it a growing favorite with masonry actors. But best of all, they like the 20%- reduction in wall costs it gives over conven- scaffolding.
Stop in to see the MORGEN folks at the MCAA s 12 and 13. They'll be glad to show you the s job in operation while you're in Cleveland.
Morgen Scaffolding elevates 24" x 32" pallets of material until it is used in the wall, lets lift trucks work more efficiently.
Material stocked between masons and tenders pro- vides maximum efficiency when laborers have to wheel material from stocking points.
