Heavy-duty structural steel is the material of choice for most adjustable scaffold systems, such as the EZ Scaffold pictured here. Generally, the systems are not too cumbersome to store and transport when using the proper equipment.

ing scaffold system, sandblasting and repainting might be in your future. The nature of the business is such that the wear on the scaffold's finish is unavoidable, Bridges said. But this is just a cosmetic issue; however, it's wise not to neglect the condition of the steel altogether.
"If the steel is damaged in any way that compromises the strength or the ability to keep the scaffold straight and plumb, then it needs to be taken out of service," Bridges said. "You need to have a competent person on staff that is trained and knows what to look for." It is the cross-braces and the guardrails that get bent up more than anything, he said. "Cross-bracing really affects the trueness of scaffolding and the ability to keep it level and plumb."
