Smokestack Scaffold – Work Deck and Transport Platform
We’ve done many of these and it always amazes me how our guys build them. And even more amazing is how the restoration crews work up there and accomplish their tasks.
In this case, Jon Goodroad and his crew from Joseph Dugan, Inc., called Superior Scaffold to get them up to the top so they could actually remove the top 6 feet of the smokestack, repair the damage, recap it and then restore the remaining parts of the chimney, making it sturdy and safe once again.
They originally wanted stairs to get the men to the top of the 80’ tall smokestack. Ummm, okay, but who wants the climb all that way several times a day and then use a rope and wheel to haul debris, equipment and supplies up and down? Yes, I know, that’s how they did it in the old days. Keyword: Old like the owners of Superior. But the young bucks realize there are now modern pieces of equipment like our TP-2500 transport platform that can easily and quickly get men, equipment and supplies up and down and save tons of time and money in the process.
If you do the math for the amount of time it takes for your crew to climb up and down system scaffold, this transport platform is a sure-fire investment and pays for itself in no time all.
Anyway, I digress.
Dugan agreed and had us install the transport platform on the side of the scaffold attached to the smokestack. They rocked the restoration for their client and I’m sure their crew guys were thankful that they had an easy elevator ride to and from the top of their job for the duration.
The job went off without a hitch and everyone was pleased with the results!

And today’s musical number is all about reaching Higher Ground… Enjoy, everybody.
