It looks like a simple workbench/scaffold. Workbench space is something I never seem to have enough of, and in between scaffolding gigs, I now have another work surface. It has rugged locking casters that can go four-wheeling across parking lots and hard-packed job site dirt.Įven more useful from my point of view is its ability to serve as a workbench on wheels. The Metaltech ScaffoldBench – not your daddy’s Baker scaffold…įor the 99% of the time I’m NOT working from a scaffold, it steps up and serves as a utility cart to move tools and materials from my truck to the job site, or into the shop. It’s compatible with other major brands of Baker type scaffolding, and can be stacked to get you way up high – higher than I’M going to go. Job One for the Metaltech ScaffoldBench is working as a Baker-style scaffold, with a 12’ reach and an 1,100-lb. The Metaltech ScaffoldBench is billed as a four-in-one workhorse. Finally, my scaffolding can WORK for a living between gigs! This much work, this high up, yep – I’m on a scaffold. A big truck recently dropped off a Metaltech ScaffoldBench for us to play with, and it’s a whole ‘nother animal. The rest of the time, the scaffolding sits around, taking up space, and in the case of my full-size scaffolding, sitting outside slowly rusting. Fortunately, I rarely take on projects where I’ll need a scaffold. If there’s a lofty job to be done that I can’t sucker someone else into doing, and it will require working way up high (say, over three feet) for more than a short while, it’s time to set up some scaffolding. True confession time: While I’m not deathly afraid of heights, I’m not crazy about working high off the ground.
