Scaffolding FAQ
What is the maximum width of the Alum-A-Pole System?
Our system can be linked together indefinitely. our Alum-A-Scaffs have a male and female end that can be nested on the jack/bench and secured with the safe-t-chain. This can be done repeatedly as needed.
What is the maximum height of the Alum-A-Pole System?
The system is approved to a 50' shoulder working height by OSHA.
What is the Alum-A-Pole rate and max weight?
Our system is 2-man/500 pounds rated.
What is the longest Alum-A-Scaff (walkboard) you make?
Our longest Alum-A-Scaff is 24 feet. The system would become bouncy if the poles are more than 24 feet apart, possibly destabilizing the system.
Can Alum-A-Pole be used with another manufacturer's equipment?
Do not intermix other manufacturer's products with Alum-A-Pole Scaffolding, as stated in our instructions. Therefore, in order to assure your safety, parts of our system simply won't connect properly to other manufacturer's products.
Does your Saf-T-Net or End Rail System work with another manufacturer's walkboard?
No. Our Saf-T-Nets and End Rails are designed to fit our Alum-A-Scaffs only, and will not attach properly to another manufacturer's walkboard.

Troubleshooting
My jack is slipping on the pole. What should I do?
Please check the following common issues:
- Is the rubber on your Alum-A-Pole facing away from the building? If not, please turn the pole around.
- Is your APC Bolt finger tight? Do not use a wrench to tighten.
- Check your springs and rollers. You should have 4 springs. There are 2 on the lower posi and 2 on the upper posi. If you are missing any springs or your rollers are flat or worn, please contact us for replacement parts at 1-800-421-2586.
