    Planks, Guardrails, and Toeboards

    Image of System. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Scaffolds. Planks, Guardrails, and Toeboards.
    Create catwalks, bridges, gangways, and mezzanines by combining these planks, guardrails, and toeboards. They also work well between trestles, ladder jacks, and ladder scaffolding supports. Rungs on the underside are for use as hand grips.
    Note: Planks, guardrails, and toeboards meet OSHA dimensional standards. Users are responsible for checking local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe installation and operating practices. Planks, guardrails, and toeboards also meet CAL-OSHA standards, which is required for use in California.
    Planks
    Planks have a slip-resistant surface for sure footing. The vinyl end caps protect against sharp edges and act as hand grips.

    Aluminum Scaffold Planks

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Scaffold Planks. Aluminum Scaffold Planks.
    Aluminum is a good choice for damp areas and outdoor use. Hooks with a 2" opening at each end secure planks to end frames. Rungs on the underside are for use as hand grips. Planks have a perforated surface for slip resistance and to reduce debris buildup. End hooks are offset to allow for continuous planking of large scaffolds.
    Note: Length is measured from center-to-center of end hooks.
    Note: Planks meet OSHA and Cal/OSHA dimensional and construction standards. Users are responsible for checking local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set-up and operating practices.

    Add a barrier around your scaffold platform to prevent falls. These guardrails attach to posts (not included) on the edge of your platform. You can also replace sections of an existing barrier to make sure your scaffold meets safety requirements. Made of galvanized steel, these guardrails resist rust and hold up to outdoor use.
    Note: Guardrails meet OSHA and Cal/OSHA dimensional and construction standards. Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.

    Also known as ladder jacks, these supports hold a plank between two straight or extension ladders to create a scaffold. Supports fit round or D-rungs, attaching to three rungs on each ladder. Use the adjustment notches to set the angle of the plank. Capacity is 500 lbs. per pair.
    Note: Ladders and planks must have a minimum 250-lb. capacity.

    Safely climb inside your scaffold when surrounding space is tight. These planks have an access door that swings open to reach your work platform. They’re made of plywood—the most commonly used and cost-effective planking material for scaffolds. Hooks at each end secure these planks to end frames. Length is measured from center-to-center of the end hooks.
    Note: Planks meet OSHA and Cal/OSHA dimensional and construction standards. Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.
    Use an additional plank (sold separately) to create a platform that spans a standard 5 ft. wide scaffold. They do not include an access door.

    With a tripod base and adjustable legs, these stands help you create a stable, level work platform on stairs, slopes, and uneven ground. Pair with scaffold planks or stages. A pair holds up to 600 lbs. The legs adjust in 1 1/2" increments, so you can set each one to the exact height you need. Rubber feet keep them from slipping on smooth surfaces. Made of aluminum, these stands are lightweight and corrosion resistant. When your work is done, fold them flat and store them, or use the handle to carry them to another job.
    Note: Work platforms that have OSHA specifications listed meet dimensional and construction standards. Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.

    Even if your surface isn't level, your scaffold can be—the end frames on these scaffolds adjust independently so you can set each side at a different height. You can change the plank height in 4" increments; use the spring-loaded pins to lock it in place.
    Note: Scaffolds meet OSHA dimensional standards. Users are responsible for checking local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe installation and operating practices. Scaffolds also meet CAL-OSHA standards, which is required for use in California.

    Mix and match these components to build a scaffold that suits your job. All components are compatible with each other, but they can’t be combined with other scaffold systems. They can be used indoors or outdoors. Add scaffold inspection tags to show whether a scaffold is under construction or ready for use.
    Note: Scaffold components meet OSHA and Cal/OSHA dimensional and construction standards. Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.
