June 27, 2012

by Superior Scaffold

New Copper Swages or Ferrules for Suspended Scaffold wire ropes

November 15, 2011

by Superior Scaffold

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkAl5lSL1Fo Our Superior Scaffold Suspended expert tells us about the new copper swages. Why they are stronger, safer, and better than traditional bolt on ferrules or fist grips for wire ropes and tie-downs. Very simply put - time and safety. Traditionally, you had to make sure each of your fist grips were tightened sufficiently before getting to work. With these new copper swages you are safe and secure and working the minute you hit the job site. Another helpful hint from Superior Scaffold. Also see scaffolding...

November 11, 2011

by Superior Scaffold

It clearly shows the damage that the earthquake did to her as well as the necessary guy-wires to hold her down in case of aftershocks. Superior Scaffold had to transport all of the scaffolding materials through a maze in the hospital and even assemble most of the sections on a lower roof and then hoist them up where they could be put into place. You can see the difficulties in just getting to the statue...
