Buying Guide: Scaffolding Parts

Casters and Leveling Jacks
The 8 in. scaffolding caster comes in a pack of 4 and has a double locking design that supports up to 750 lbs. The 24 in. leveling jack adjusts over an 18 in. range and is used with standard or arched frames, which makes it useful on uneven ground. Use wheels or base plates when the scaffold sits on a concrete floor, and leveling jacks along an external wall.

Locking Arms, Pins and Clips
The 13 in. locking arm attaches to the locking pins of upper and lower frames when stacking, and it has a blue powder coat finish. The 1 in. collar coupling pin with spring lock connects mason and arch frames, while the pig tail lock slides in without tools. Zinc plated spring clips in a pack of 25 replace the clip that locks into the top tube.

Outriggers and Platforms
The outrigger kit includes four adjustable outriggers and four caster wheels for stabilizing stacked baker-style scaffolding. The 9 ft. mini scaffold platform comes with wheels, a parts and accessories tray shelf and a safety rail for stability.
