The WORKHORSE beats frame production 20% to 35%!
It's no secret that elevating scaffolding will increase your production. It's just that it's too bulky to use on inside work-until now. The WORKHORSE sets up quicker and easier than frames and your men NEVER STOP until the wall is topped out. It is designed for walls 8' to 15'-4" high which probably accounts for 80% of your dollar volume. Using the WORKHORSE, every wall can be a "money wall."
Compare the advantages over frames:
* Increase production 20% to 35%. Your bricklayers work in their most productive "sweet spot" all day long.
* Recover lost courses. The masons begin building the wall off the scaffold from the very start. When the wall is "scaffold high" they can continue working instead of moving.
* Never rehandle materials or boards. The laborers simply jack up the working platform with all materials as work progresses.
* Simple to move. When the wall is topped out, the scaffold is let down in about one minute and instantly ready to be moved to the next wall.
* Compact. Base tower and elevating bracket weigh only 50 lbs. You can carry 189' of scaffolding in a standard size pickup with room to spare.
* Profitable. The WORKHORSE can easily pay for itself in 4 to 6 weeks.
