Morgen Scaffolding Increases Masons' Production 25%-30% for Crown Construction Co.
Morgen Scaffolding has long promised a 20% increase in masons' production, but like most contractors, Eston Hathaway, co-owner of Crown Construction Co., Ft. Wayne, Ind., had to see it to believe it.
His first job using Morgen Scaffolding instead of tubular frame scaffolding was the J. C. Penney Co. store shown above. When asked about production, he became all smiles. He says he is realizing not 20%, but between 25% and 30% increase in masons' production.
Morgen elevates the masons, laborers and material as the wall progresses. One of the masons reported that by working constantly at waist height, he is able to lay approximately 200 more brick per day, and feel less tired at the end of the day than he did on conventional scaffolding.
Morgen offered Crown Construction additional profit by cutting scaffolding set-up and moving costs. Blackie Lang, mason superintendent, said one Saturday he had four laborers and his lift operator move 180 lineal feet of scaffolding 38% feet tall to another wall to be started Monday. They moved the scaffolding intact in pairs of towers and stocked the new wall in six hours.
In these days of rising labor costs, few contractors can afford to keep masons on tubular scaffolding. If you're interested in more profit per job and more jobs per year, write for complete information today!
