ProSeries continues to do the job

Words: Michael SolomonPremier Scaffold Solutions announced it has made the ProSeries mast climber even better. The most recent update includes aluminum diamond plate top sheets. Now, with the new top sheets and with frames being hot-dipped galvanized inside and out, the mast climbing unit is a solid and lasting investment, says Premier.

Premier takes pride in its “Built in America” manufacturing plant and continues to listen to customers to make improvements as well as invest in research and development. Currently, the company is working on a single-tower mast climber and partnering up on a transport platform that is already out in the field for additional testing.

The company says it just finished up a project with Weigand Construction out of Fort Wayne, Ind., at the IU Jacobs Hall location. The customer purchased multiple ProSeries set ups as well as rented additional units from Premier’s sister company, TNT Equipment Co., Columbus, Ohio. The job was not only a typically tight college campus job, but also it had many difficult configurations, with everything from block and brick work to heavy stone pieces. The ProSeries handled with all of this via its modular bridging and heavy capacities.
