Trailer arrives with 24 assembled towers - enough to scaffold 180 lineal feet of wall 20% feet high.
Fork lift truck with Morgen fork lift bracket unloads trailer, sets up pairs of towers along the wall.
Towers are leveled, braced and platforms stocked. Laborers winch the carriages up as work progresses. With no interruption, masons' production is usually 20% greater.
That wall completed, the fork lift truck with bracket moves intact pairs of towers to another wall in one-fourth the time it would take to tear down and erect conventional scaffolding.
Another wall quickly goes up, with no interruption to the masons. The scaffolding is moved intact until all walls on the job site are completed.
Then the fork lift lowers the towers and holds them while bracing is removed. It places four towers at a time on the trailer.
The trailer takes off for the next job. The scaffolding can be left on the trailer between jobs, saving one cycle of loading and unloading.
