RYD-UP SCAFFOLDING

Special truss support provides sturdy 10-foot sections... 30% less handling.

Put your masons on a RYD-UP scaffold and watch savings, production and efficiency get off the ground. Ten-foot sections provide 30% less scaffold to move, handle or erect over seven-foot platforms. Cross-planked platform provides extra strength and space for brick, block and mortar boards. No lengthwise slots to catch wheels.

Studies show production can rise 20%. Easy-to-pump double-action hoist maintains fully loaded scaffold at efficient wall height.

For more information about how you can move up with truss-constructed RYD-UP scaffolding, call or write: Automatic Devices, Inc., 2440 Adie Road, Maryland Heights, Missouri 63043. Phone 314/432-5710.
