Scaff-Trac
This hoist suspension system allows easy, tool-free mounting of Beta Max portable
hoists to existing job site scaffold. Scaff-Trac is designed for use on standard 6-
foot walk-through, tubular scaffold frames with 7-foot (2.1-meter) center spacing.
The basic section total length is 11 feet (3.4 meters) including a 3.5-foot (1.1-
meter) cantilever (overhang) at the end for hoist mounting. An optional version of
Scaff-Trac is available for use with 8-foot (2.4-meter) cross braces and has a 2.5-
foot (0.8-meter) cantilever.
The Scaff-Trac monorail is attached to the scaffold with two saddles, safety pins,
and keepers that fit on top of the scaffold tubular frame. Special square saddles are
available for mounting on nonstop adjustable scaffold. In addition, 7-foot (2.1-
meter) and 8-foot (2.4-meter) extensions are available. The Scaff-Trac system can
be used on all Beta Max portable hoists except the Beta Lite model.
NOTE:
Scaffold frames should always be securely pinned together, anchored to the
building face, and counterbalanced appropriately. Check the Scaffold Industry
Association guidelines for more details.
