Rolling Scaffold Storage
Organize and easily transport scaffolds with this rolling storage system.
It’s always useful to have wheels under bulky tools and materials that need to be moved around. The drawing shows how I took advantage of my scaffold frames with wheels to store frame sections. I used two pieces of 3/4-in. EMT conduit to make a pair of 56-in.-long cross braces. I flattened their ends and drilled holes in them with a 9/16-in. bit for the pins that affix them to the frames. A 1/4-in. bolt acts as an axle where the braces cross. Two shelves made from scrap 2x4s complete the storage system. This setup easily stores a dozen frames off the deck. And the wheel set allows the whole thing to be rolled out of the way or to the door for transport.

As the frames are the same size the suspended frames must overhang? Great idea and I will do the with mine once I figure it out.
