At Alum-A-Pole®, safety isn’t a feature—it’s our foundation. From the very first product designed in 1980 to today’s fully engineered scaffolding systems and siding brakes, every tool we manufacture is built with one mission in mind: to keep tradespeople safe while they work at height.
When Carl Anderson, a siding contractor, saw how dangerous traditional wood-built scaffolding and pump jacks could be, he knew there had to be a better way. That’s why he invented the Alum-A-Pole Scaffolding System, and with it, ushered in a new era of elevated jobsite safety.
Working directly with OSHA and their lead compliance officer, Bill Simms, Carl helped establish the first scaffolding system approved for a 50-foot shoulder working height—a groundbreaking improvement over the then-standard 30 feet. It’s still the gold standard today, recognized across the industry for its durability, engineering, and unmatched safety record.
In over 40 years, there has not been a single reported accident with the Alum-A-Pole Scaffolding System when our instructions and OSHA guidelines are followed.
Every product we make is engineered for peace of mind.
Features three independent backup safety systems:
Siding brake uses a secure power lock clamp system and comfortable, fold-up handles to ensure both safety and precision on the job.
Both designed to help eliminate fall risks and walk-off accidents when working on scaffolding setups.
We use high-strength structural aluminum, custom-compounded industrial rubber, and anodized components that resist wear, rust, and discoloration over time. Each component is lab-tested:
All Alum-A-Pole products are proudly made in Scranton, Pennsylvania, ensuring tight quality control, consistent performance, and a company that stands behind every weld, bend, and bolt.
When you choose Alum-A-Pole, you’re not just choosing tools. You’re choosing a legacy of safety.
