Scaff-Trac Mounting
Mounting Site Preparation
As the name implies, the Scaff-Trac hoist mounting option is designed for use on
any 6-foot (1.8-meter) walk-through scaffold frames. The cross brace spacing
between frames must be set at 7 feet (2.1 meters). An optional Scaff-Trac designed
for use with 8-foot (2.4-meter) cross bracing is available. The Scaff-Trac allows
for a 3-1/2-foot (1.1-meter) cantilever with 7-foot (2.1-meter) cross braces or a 2-
1/2-foot (0.7-meter) cantilever with 8-foot (2.4-meter) cross braces. A full width
deck must be installed at the hoist location to provide adequate working room and
footing for installing and operating the hoist. The scaffold must be horizontally
level (check the scaffold manufacturer’s mounting specifications for leveling the
scaffold platform). Guardrails and toe boards may also be necessary (check local
or national safety requirements).
Scaffold frames must be in good condition and free of dents, bends, heavy
corrosion, cuts, modifications, or any other damage. All cross braces must be in
place and secured before attempting to install the Scaff-Trac. Scaffold frames must
be pinned or bolted to the frames below and all frames must be anchored securely
to the vertical building face. Check with the scaffold manufacturer for the correct
way to erect and anchor the scaffold. Use no less than two people to install the
Scaff-Trac.
The design of the saddles and mounting brackets on the Scaff-Trac are intended to
allow mounting on various brands of scaffold. The spacing between the top and
bottom horizontal ledger on 6-foot (1.8-meter) walk-through frames varies from
one brand of scaffold to another. The amount of space or gap between the top of
the Scaff-Trac and the lower horizontal ledger of the scaffold frame should be as
little as possible. The saddles and mounting brackets are designed with multiple
holes to allow mounting to various scaffold frames. These holes allow for
minimum top to bottom ledger distance of 5/8 inch (1.6 cm), an intermediate
distance of 6 inches (15.2 cm), and maximum distance of 6-1/4 inches (3.8 cm).
