ScaffSource provides sales and rentals of scaffolding and shoring equipment to the construction sector through a network of U.S. locations. The company sets itself apart as a service-focused group by offering 3D-designed, tailored solutions to suit contractors’ needs and even materials procurement from manufacturers.
Skyward corporate growth
Since its purchase in 2019, ScaffSource has seen a strong vision for its future.
Launched in 1992 under the name United Scaffolding Inc., the company acquired three other scaffolding companies by 1998. In 2019, it was bought by American Industrial Partners and rebranded as ScaffSource in 2022.
With nine U.S. locations, many partners and suppliers, 17 million pieces of scaffolding in its inventory, and a fully stocked inventory of shoring equipment, ScaffSource has made a name for itself as one of the most reputable scaffolding suppliers in the nation. Part of its salability is its nimbleness—ScaffSource provides equipment from product yards across the U.S. and several manufacturers and materials suppliers nationwide.
The company isn’t just an equipment and materials supplier—they also offer other services to support their customers, such as help with planning, erecting, and using scaffolding and shoring materials and equipment. Projects are planned with the help of ScaffSource professionals, who will be on-site when the customer needs it. Customers receive a 3D model of the planned setup and their scaffolding and/or shoring equipment order. Materials planning, procurement, and other details are also planned with the model, allowing customers to focus more on labor management, safety, access, and materials use.
The company’s rapid growth over the decades shows the success of its customer-first business strategy—this is a brand that delivers, and they’re repaid with customer loyalty.
Most of ScaffSource’s clientele are repeat customers, said Earl Mclunkin, Director of National Accounts for ScaffSource. “Our biggest value is honesty. It’s how you gain that trust from the [client] company, and eventually, the loyalty,” Mclunkin said.
Consistent inventory upgrades
Scaffolding and shoring concerns are, first and foremost, matters of safety. That’s partly why ScaffSource continually strives to provide the best solutions for customers and invests in its equipment.
ScaffSource regularly upgrades its inventory to provide the best possible equipment and solutions. In the last several years, the company has replaced more than 4.5 million new pieces of inventory. While doing so, ScaffSource also upped its inventory in adjustable toe boards, galvanized clamps, low-profile planks, and other items.
Loyal customers deserve the best (and safest) the market offers.
Shored up in a call
When it comes to providing shoring items, ScaffSource offers many solutions for new construction builds. It also offers items for demolition work, infrastructure improvement jobs, and other projects. The idea behind the full array of solutions provided is to make the process as painless and quick as possible for the customer by working with experienced ScaffSource professionals who know the business and how to stage and execute jobs.
Just one customer call to ScaffSource, and a chat with a rep to describe the project and needs, and the solution is on the way to the customer, sometimes within just a few days. The company will spec out special materials and equipment for a customer and order items directly from one of the many manufacturers it sources from.
Rush jobs are also possible, like delivery of equipment on Monday morning after the request was made the Friday night before. Though not always feasible in every case, ScaffSource will always try to deliver.
