Bakers Scaffold Brakes

[augie47]

Anyone had an opportunity to use a braking system that can be operated from the top of a Bakers Scaffold ?

Is that where you hold on to the I beams, ect. to stop and go? If not then no.

The much used I beam brake does not appear to me OSHA standards. Silly people

i've used them once, long time ago... replaces two wheels on a
baker scaffold, with batteries for power....
once was enough. like roller skating in a gravel quarry.
you can move around ok on a perfectly smooth clean floor.
there's a reason they didn't catch on, and it's a good one.

hm. google tells me there is a new kid on the block....
