What Would the Egyptians Have Done With a Mast Climber?

Scaffolding & Equipment
A recent History.com article, How Did Egyptians Build the Pyramids? Ancient Ramp Find Deepens Mystery, reported the discovery of an ancient ramp system that dates to the period in which the Egyptian pyramids were built. Although this discovery…

Market slower than usual? Get yourself set up to move fast!

Scaffolding & Equipment
If you find 2021 a bit slow getting started, it’s a good time to reinforce some core components for long term success. One great option is safety training to enhance and reinforce processes, procedures, and knowledge about safe use of the equipment you use on the job.

Ladder Safety is not Child’s Play

Ladder Safety is not Child’s Play

Scaffolding & Equipment
One key component of ladder safety is making sure you have the right ladder for the job. Will you need one that is a self-supporting, straight, or extension ladder? So many options are available - single pole ladders, step ladders, multipurpose ladders, platform (podium) ladders, extension ladders, telescoping ladders and more.

Scanclimber in use

What would YOU do with a Scanclimber SC8000?

Scaffolding & Equipment
Whether you know us well or are checking out American Scaffolding for the first time, it may be news that our product offering also includes mast climbers, specifically the SC8000 by Scanclimber. We acquired two Scanclimber SC8000 units, along with accessories, earlier this year.

NOT for the Job Site: Free Solo

Scaffolding & Equipment
When you’re in the scaffolding business, working in any way with or around scaffolding, it’s easy to feel torn between several reactions to Free Solo. These range from “Is the guy NUTS?!?!” to “The guy’s an outright mountain goat and hero!”.

Tribune Tower scaffolding - closer view

How Scaffolding Led to Stories from Around the World

Scaffolding & Equipment
It’s amazing what a chance glance at scaffolding atop the Tribune Tower can lead to. Somehow it seems fitting. In its most utilitarian way, scaffolding creates a platform that can lift us ever higher. Hopefully, the stories we learn about and create serve to keep lifting us to greater heights as well.

Wrigley Field Scoreboard with scaffolding.

The Cincinnati Reds, Scaffolding and the Windy City

Scaffolding & Equipment
One of the first sights to stop us in our tracks was none other than, yes, scaffolding. Frankly, you can’t miss it in Chicago. Still, stopping and starting amongst blaring taxis, this site caught my attention: the historic Tribune Tower with scaffolding perched just near the top of it. Barely visible at street level to the typical pedestrian or motorist, it sang out to me, as one whose blood almost runs through scaffolding.

The Bodie Island Lighthouse standing tall against the blue sky.

From Beacon to Beacon, with a Side of Scaffolding

Scaffolding & Equipment
The story of the restoration work that scaffolding supported at the Bodie Island lighthouse opened our eyes to history that we hadn’t considered before. First, time seems to take on new meaning, when considering that the Bodie Island light had shined steadily for nearly 140 years. The lighthouse first began operating in 1872, and did so day after day, year after year, until 2011, when restoration began.

Summer Road Trip, Installment 1

Scaffolding & Equipment
With summer well underway, it’s fitting that a nostalgic look back at the family road trip is the focus of a newly released book, Don’t Make Me Pull Over. It’s conveniently well-timed for our summer blog series on notable places to visit. “Notable” for us, I admit, in that each has a scaffolding-related story.
