Scaffolding
Scaffolding is a temporary platform structure used to elevate and support workers and materials during the construction process.
Prime Scaffold will plan, design, engineer, supply, and build the scaffolding system that exactly meets your specific project needs.

Stair Towers
Scaffold stair towers provide one of the safest and easiest methods for access to all levels of your job site. They provide workers with handrails and landing platforms and allow them to carry tools and materials as they access the scaffold platform. We provide systems stairs with 30" wide treads and frame stairs with 20" wide treads.

Swing Stages
Two-point adjustable suspension scaffolds, also known as swing-stages, are the most common type of suspended scaffold. They are hung by cables and connected to hoists at each end of the platform. They are typically used to access the exterior areas of buildings and structures and play a prominent role in high-rise construction. They are most often used by glazing, caulking and painting contractors, and during architectural metal panel installation.

Fall Arrest Equipment
At Prime Scaffold we take safety very seriously because working at heights can be dangerous. The proper design and use of fall arrest equipment is critical. Proper training of personnel and regular inspections for wear and damage on equipment is also a very important part of a fall arrest system. We offer a broad selection of essential equipment for ultimate safety including full body harness, lanyards, rope grabs, lifelines, and anchorage connectors.
