Pump Jack System Complete
Pump Jack Scaffolding Systems offer a versatile, adjustable-height solution for siding, painting, and exterior remodeling. This system uses vertical poles and foot-pump brackets to raise and lower a walking platform, allowing workers to stay at the perfect height for the task at hand.
System Components
- Pump Jack Brackets: The core of the system, featuring a foot-pump mechanism for ascending and a crank handle for controlled descent.
- Aluminum Poles: Available in various lengths (typically 6' to 24'), these poles can be joined with heavy-duty connectors to reach higher elevations.
- Work Planks (Stages): Heavy-duty aluminum planks, ranging from 12' to 24' in length and 12" to 20" in width, provide a stable and slip-resistant walking surface.
- Braces & Work Benches: Rigid steel braces secure the poles to the structure for stability, while optional work bench brackets provide a secondary level for tools and materials.
Utility & Configuration
- Adjustable Height: Unlike fixed scaffolding, the pump jack system allows for infinite height adjustments within the pole range, making it ideal for overlapping siding or detailed trim work.
- High Capacity: Designed to support the weight of two workers and their tools, typically rated for approximately 500 lbs between two poles.
- Material Selection: All-aluminum construction ensures the system remains lightweight for transport while resisting rust and weather damage on the jobsite.
Core Features
- Fail-Safe Locks: The pump mechanism includes automatic spring-loaded locks that grip the pole securely to prevent accidental slipping.
- Nesting Design: Aluminum poles are designed to be easily transported and stored, with square-bore construction for maximum rigidity.
- Plank Security: Brackets include integrated guardrail holders and plank tiedowns to ensure the walking surface remains stationary during use.
