The Chimney Flashing Brake Co. LLC is proud to introduce a new safety railing for contractors who use a Ladder Jack Scaffold System called The Siders and Painters Barrier Rail Support.
"I was tired of waiting for someone to come up with a solution to the problem," says inventor Mr. Jody English, a local roofing and siding contractor in Battle Creek, Mich. "I have been involved in roofing and siding for 20 years. I know the shortcomings of both trades. I now design products that solve a common problem. They are all designed by a Certified Engineer. We have many new products coming to market in the next few years. This is where we start, by creating a safer environment for the siding and painting trades."
The Siders and Painters Barrier Rail Support is the only Ladder Jack Scaffold railing support ever made commercially available to the end user. The Siders and Painters Barrier Rail Support is OSHA compliant for a top rail support, and is utility patent pending.
The design of the Ladder Jack Scaffold System creates an open span between two ladders, as far as 22 feet. Siders and painters have had to walk an open span, on a 12 inch staging plank as high as 20 feet, with nothing to hold onto but air. The Siders and Painters Barrier Rail Support is designed to support a triple 2-by-4 railing or a 24-foot 2-inch by 3-inch 14 gauge hollow steel tubing. Siders and painters now have a sturdy handrail to hold onto while walking the open span between the ladders.
