Advantages of Bothwell Composite Scaffold Plank System

WHY IT’S SAFER

  1. Reduced back related injury on installation/removal
    • a 12 foot wood plank weighs 48 lbs. dry and up to 68 lbs. wet
    • A 10 foot Bothwell Plank weighs 28 lbs. wet or dry
  2. Reduced slip injury
    • the Bothwell Plank's patented non-skid surface provides a firm grip even when wet
  3. Reduced trip injury
    • without the standard overlapping boards, feet, cords, hoses, and building materials won’t get snagged
  4. Reduced loss-of-balance injury
    • the Bothwell Plank has a much more consistent deflection (flex) than wood allowing for stepping on two boards at once minimizing risks of ankle twisting
  5. Reduced electrical shock injury
    • the Bothwell Plank has a significantly lower conductance than metal or wet wood plank minimizing the potential transfer of current from plank-to-frame-to-plank.
  6. Reduced plank failure injury
    • the Bothwell Plank doesn’t corrode, rot, rust or split like other types of plank
  7. Reduced plank slippage injury
    • interlocking end connectors nearly eliminate the possibility of slippage
