Got mine for the great price of free! A good friend/boss let me store his at my place (he wanted them out of his shop because they were stored behind is show cars) I got four complete sections with boards, wheels and all pegs. I picked up some adjustable feet at the rental place (purchased them) for $10 each I think!

I opened it but I get the map of USA only without the address or pointer..I figured I'll wait and ask you later for the address after you check them out..so how do they look n are they worth it.?

I can send you that. I think the page you mention with the pointer. some were on the left side it should say direction or get directions then you type you address. do you still have it? if you do send it back I will look at it. if not I will just send the address

I bought the Tractor Supply setup two months ago to help a buddy install some windows and then some projects at my place. I was able to pick it up with at the $150 price plus a 10% off coupon, worth every penny I paid. It's MUCH nicer than the one at Harbor Freight that I looked at.

It's the same as this which seems to be a pretty standard import model.

Glad I could help my friend. Post some photos and let us know what you think.

got mine at lunch today and set it up when I got home from work. started to hang ductwork and my exhaust fan, had the scaffold set at the next to highest level and I was at the perfect height. I have a 10.5' ceiling, it had me into the attic area on a stable platform that I could safely move around on. IMHO, it's a good buy at 150.00 as I will use the heck out of it.

after a couple hours in a 106 degree garage (at groud level) I had enough playing around in the attic and retreated to the AC. I tried to take some pics but my camera lens is fogged over from the humidity, I'll try to get some pics tonight if it cools down at all.

I looked at thoes quickly. Can they be stacked? I need to be at 20 feet or so.

I have several sets- they sit in the storage unit. Hate them.
PITA to work off of unless you have a helper. Up & down for parts & up & down to move it. I would never buy another. For me, I'd rather use a scissor lift. I can rent a small one delivered to the jobsite cheaper than all the scaffolding ****. Once a year isn't enough to buy a scaffold IMO. A friend of mine bought a scissor lift off craigs list w/ a small utility trailer for a whopping $550.00. Guy closed his electrical shop & wanted it gone.

After you fall off the ladder and pay the resulting medical fees, you'll realize what a good investment a set of scaffolds can be. I own 5 sections - no regrets.

I have about 10 lifts. I love em. always a use for the stuff.
Not to mention the Brother-in-laws like to borrow them.

The wife was alway scarred when I was up 5 or 6 lifts high and was always saying how "dangerous" scaffolding is.

So I bought this.

Screaming deal at only $2,800.

It's 1990 model...old...but woks perfectly.

41" high with a 24' outreach.

Not too big either...tire to tire it's only 5'10" and 6'7' high fully retracted.

End to end is 16'11" but the beast weigh's 16,000lb's


My 1st job was trimming the 100+ year old tree's around my 100+ house. That job was estimated by 3 different co.'s at almost 2k. So it's almost paid for itself after just one job.

I love it.

It's made me learn how hydraulics work... which I've always wanted to learn anyway.

i really want a lift...i can find them cheap, but dear god to the local companies want alot of money to move them. i found a snorkle lift that needs a little work, wiring and some fuel lines. i could do the work cheap and its not hard, but the 16k weight is too much to be useful here

The weight is WHY I got it so cheap.
The guy I bought it from bought it to rent it out, but it turned out it was too heavy for his existing equipment.

I have no plans to rent it,it's for me to use so the weight is not an issue for me.

Still doesn't change the fact that it's one heavy *******.

Hey stevefasano do you by chance still have this info? the add on CL is gone but when I talked to the guy he said he had a lot of the stuff. I was going to call and see what he has left but cant find any of the info.

Did you ever get yours?
