Non-Stop SCAFFOLDING
Increase Production 20%-35%
When the wall is waist high to the bricklayer, he will produce more. Government studies, the experience of our customers, and our own experience have proven that poist most convincingly. Actually, it's basic human nature. When the bending, reaching, and stooping are climinated, a mason will fall into a fast, comfortable side-to-side rhythm when laying brick and Nock. He'll put in more units and be less tired at the end of the day. How much more production depends on the type of work. Production increases of 20% are common, while 35% is typical for blank walls like warehouses. Our users have reported production increases as high as 47% on 12" blocks.
When you calculate the labor savings from this feature alone, you will see that Non Stop can easily pay for itself in the first 10 to 20 weeks. Some masonry contractors say that their scaffolding paid for itself on the first job.
Never Run Scaffold-High Again
Building a wall from the ground to scaffold-high and then moving your men is another unnecessary expense to eliminate from your operation. It sends to scamer your men, creates estra work for the laborers, and it wastes ten to fifteen minutes of production time pettling the crew started again.
Using Non-Stop, you will set your scaffolding in place first, before arry work begins. Stock it with materials and your masons start the wall right off the scal fold. Once they have reached a com fortable working height, their walk boards can be dropped in place in about 30 seconds and they continue working uninterrupted until the wall is topped out. Non-Stop gives you the ability to put your masorn walkboards as low as off the ground.
Anoher standard feature
Non-Stop provides is the ability to add an extra walkboard for the masons. In many situations, like brick veneer with block back-up, you must run the block up fint. Using Non-Stop, you can run the block with 3 planks for the masons, let the scaffold down, and then run the brick with 2 planks, without moving or replursting the scaffolding
