Mast Climber
Rodin College House at U Penn, Suspended Scaffold, Mast Climbers and Canopy
November 15, 2016
The sister skyscraper to Harnwell and Harrison House is getting a much needed facelift after forty years of weathering the elements. (You can read all about the Harwell renovation job we did here last year on our blog.) This uniquely shaped building at 3901 Locust Walk is a 25-story apartment complex that houses roughly 820 residents and is part of the university’s student housing. Superior Scaffold was called in to give masonry restoration crews total access around the entire structure. We did so by providing ten swing stages or suspended scaffold platforms on three sides of the building, and also by installing one...

Mast Climber & Suspended Scaffold at Parkway Condos
March 25, 2015
The luxurious Parkway condos at 2601 Pennsylvania ave., Philadelphia, PA needed to give crews access to the entire façade of their building, for repointing, masonry and window work, so they called Superior Scaffold. This was a perfect time for our resident Mast Climber & swing stage expert, Bob Sarkisian, to snap some photos of just what goes into erecting a mast climbing job. This is our heavy duty twin mast climber (MC-3615) capable of holding as much as 8,000 pounds on one work platform. The mast sections are light compared to other heavy duty climbers, only 110 lbs. easily installed by two...

Love in an elevator – Mast Climber at Children’s Hospital, Philadelphia, PA
September 4, 2014
The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the City of Philadelphia are joining forces to provide health care to children and adults in South Philadelphia. They are relocating two existing clinics, a CHOP-owned pediatric primary care practice currently located in South Philadelphia, and the City-owned Health Center, which serves children and adults into one new building. They called Superior Scaffold to install mast climber work platforms inside the elevator shafts to assist the wall construction inside. I know we’ve shown you one mast climbing work platform in an elevator shaft this summer (at Eagles stadium) but this one is a touch taller than...

“Are you ready for some football?” Well, the Philadelphia Eagles will be this year with some incredible upgrades to their stadium during the off season.

Mast Climber Rental Division – Superior Scaffold, Philadelphia, PA
April 9, 2014
In the previous post we talked about our Suspended Scaffold Rental Division – and today we are going to look at our Mast Climber Rental Division – which is also a part of our Powered Access Division (along with Suspended Scaffolds). Mast climbing work platforms (MCWP) or Mast Climbers are particularly useful when access to a long span is needed so workers can quickly and easily move across the entire width of the wall or surface, at varying heights. [caption id="false" align="alignnone" width="609"] Marquis de Lafayette, Cape May, NJ[/caption] These powered access platforms are popular with masonry contractors because they provide a safe,...

Cool Technology X-Ray for a facade renovation at the Golden Nugget Hotel Casino! Why?
October 19, 2011
Now I'll be honest with you. I'm a sucker for cool technologies being used in innovative ways (just see my previous blog entry about the hanging scaffold system). But when I learned what Superior Scaffold had to go through to get their giant mast climbers up to do the renovation work, I had to blog about it. Did you know that they actually had to X-Ray the cement on the side of the building to locate floor slab tie locations? Yep. And after having it explained to me it makes total sense. You see the tall (dual) masts for the Mast...
