Portable Scaffold Sets Up In Minutes
![]() |
"This portable scaffold was designed for industrial and construction use, but more and more farmers are finding it useful for painting and doing repairs on barns, silos, or sheds, says a spokesman for the manufacturer, Rustgo Company, of Spencer, Neb.
The structure is all steel except for the 20 ft. plywood work platform. Platform height is adjustable from 4 ft. to 161/2 ft. in 4 ft. intervals. The platform, which is raised and lowered with a hand-wound winch, locks in place at each level. It's rated to support 800 lbs. of weight. The wheels have positive-lock parking brakes.
For moving, the scaffold is towed on its own wheels. The 13-ft. model only requires lowering of the platform for towing. The 161/2 ft. model must have the platform and uprights removed before towing. Two men can do this in minutes just by removal of several pins. Assembly for working position takes only a few minutes.
