Masonry Contractor Needs One-Third as Many Laborers on MORGEN Scaffolding
When James A. Alexander Masonry Co., Georgiana, Ala., put Morgen Scaffolding to work veneering 84 two-story structures in a low-rent housing project in Montgomery, Ala., they found they needed only one-third the number of tenders they usually require on conventional scaffolding.
Before the masons go on the scaffolding, a fork-lift truck places a 500-unit cube of brick between every tower--all the material needed for the two-story building. Brick is never more than an arm's length away from the mason.
Laborers have only to distribute mud and raise the carriages. Consequently, for a crew of twelve masons, Alexander needs only four tenders. With conventional scaffolding, he figures a 1:1 ratio.
Reduction of men is only one of the ways Morgen Scaffolding pays off for Alexander and hundreds of other contractors. Write for the full story on Morgen's saving program today.
