Overview

Baker scaffolds are modular, manually moved mobile scaffold platforms used on construction sites for overhead and elevated work. They're especially useful inside buildings for reaching ceilings or high walls.

Properly erected, they give a stable platform that covers a larger area than a ladder, which needs repeated repositioning. They also let workers handle larger materials that can't safely be handled from a ladder.

Baker scaffolds assemble quickly, roll easily on their built-in wheels and offer adjustable platform heights.

Troubleshooting

Scaffold rolls or won't stay locked

Checks to try, in order

  1. Engage both the wheel lock and the swivel lock on each caster.
  2. Check the floor for debris under the wheels.

A caster that won't lock gets swapped before use.
