Better Than A Ladder

Greater Safety & Stability

Gentex scaffolds are "Better Than a Ladder" because they provide...

Our Scaffold vs. Their Ladder

Our heavy-duty side ladders are connected to, and greatly fortified by, our extra-sturdy specially-designed trusses that support our spacious platform. This unique and rigid design yields a scaffold that shakes less, sways less, and bends less than a regular ladder, providing you with an unmatched solid feel underfoot.

Range of motion is very limited on a ladder. Reaching even slightly to the left, right, or backwards puts you off balance and greatly increases your chance of having an accident.

A More Comfortable Platform

Our Scaffold vs. Their Ladder

Our spacious 6-foot wooden platform, measuring 71″ long by 28″ wide, provides far greater freedom of movement than a ladder. With no awkward narrow stair treads underfoot, your footing will be significantly more sure and comfortable.

Standing and climbing on narrow stair treads is very uncomfortable underfoot, and can only be tolerated for short periods of time.

A Larger Workspace

Our Scaffold vs. Their Ladder

Because our scaffolds are rated to safely hold up to 750 lbs., there’s plenty of room for 2 more people, all of your tools, and lots of equipment.

Our Scaffold vs. Their Ladder

To move your scaffold to a new location, simply unlock the double-action brakes, roll the scaffold to the new position, then quickly re-lock the brakes to provide you with a working environment that’s much safer and more stable than a regular ladder.

Folding up a ladder and lugging it around is hard work. And, its awkward shape means you need to be very careful as you move it around the work area.

Our Scaffold vs. Their Ladder

Just like a giant Erector Set, our scaffolds can be stacked up to 16′ high, and can be expanded in every direction to increase the platform’s work area. In fact, a wide variety of sizes and configurations is available.

Sure, you could create a platform by connecting two ladders together with a wooden plank at the top. However, it would wobble, bend, and sway, and greatly expose you to harm

Our Scaffold vs. Their Ladder

We manufactured this custom cantilevered scaffold for our customer who needed to do new construction off a hotel balcony, working on the eaves and roof line above the balcony. Our customer gave us the general specs. We then designed and engineered this custom scaffold, manufactured it and then shipped it to our customer in Florida.

You can see our custom made cantilevered scaffold in used here.
