TNT Equipment/Premier Scaffold Solutions have made counterfeit 21ft bridges that are being sold to use with our Non-Stop Heavy-Duty Scaffolding.
DO NOT use these. THE SCAFFOLD WILL COLLAPSE!
They are not the same as Non-Stop and can easily be installed wrong. The counterfeit is silver where Non-Stop is green.
In the picture above, the truss and the component that supports the planks (the bridge bracket) are not locked together as ours do. At this stage of assembly, your men could plank the scaffold, load it up, and go to work. The bridge bracket would slide off the truss, causing a catastrophic collapse.
Contrast this to the picture below showing our green Non-Stop components locked together. This is the only way a Non-Stop bridge can be assembled – so that it is locked together. When installed on Non-Stop the silver components cannot be locked together without physically deforming the truss.
Background: A salesman talked our customer into trying this counterfeit bridge on our scaffold. When it was hard to install, the customer took the picture you see and sent it to us asking for advice on how to install it. Fortunately, we noticed right off that the bridge components would separate and fall when the scaffold was cranked.
Non-Stop has never collapsed in use in our 49 years. This is why we insist on our customers only using genuine Non-Stop components rather on trying to save a buck on knock-off equipment.
