Morgen Scaffolding on Dick Girdley's job in Orlando Central Park. MORGEN Scaffolding puts job 22 days ahead of schedule.
"We're 22 days ahead of schedule on our job here in Orlando's Central Office Park because of Morgen Scaffolding," states Dick Girdley, president of R. C. Girdley, Inc.
"The initial set-up of Morgen Scaffolding takes about the same time as conventional scaffolding," Dick continues, "but that's where the similarity ends."
"Once the Morgen Scaffolding is set, the laborers raise the platforms as needed to keep the masons at their most efficient working level. There's no time lost for rescaffolding. When a wall is done, I have a fork lift truck pick up completely assembled pairs of towers, move them to another wall, reset them, and we're ready to go back to work-all in a fraction of the time it takes to dismantle and reassemble conventional scaffolding. It's let me reduce my back-up labor force by 30%!"
Dick Clarkson of Alden Equipment and Dick Girdley.
The best indication of what Morgen has done for Girdley is the fact that after he had used it for only four months, he came back and doubled his original investment.
Most contractors report an increase of 20% or more in masons' production, plus considerable savings in labor. Morgen Scaffolding often pays for itself in less than a year and goes on to make contractors extra profits for years to come. Get the whole story before you start another job.
