NON-STOP'S
hydro-crank
When we decided to motorize our Heavy-Duty scaffolding, we knew it would be so revolutionary that all our established customers would want it too. We spent over a year engineering a hydraulic powered winch that would be a direct replacement for new Heavy-Duty and existing Heavy-Duty from 1999 on.
Our revised winch now enables you to utilize ANY Non-Stop Scaffold manufactured from 1999 onward. Another indication of compatibility with the Hydro-Crank for your Non-Stop Scaffold is having space for four or more boards.

& Benefits
Upgrading is as simple as removing your existing winch, setting it to the side, and dropping in the new Hydro-Crank winch. You connect the two hoses to the trunk line in about 15 seconds and you're done (more about hoses later).
bullet-proof POWER UNIT
the facts
Everything about the bullet-proof power-unit is designed for absolute reliability. This eliminates all the manual cranking when raising and lowering the scaffold.

NEVER OVERHEATS
the facts
We added the heat exchanger to the system for flawless operation in the hottest weather. We even use Dexron ATF in our system rather than off the shelf hydraulic fluid.

electric-start engine
the facts
The electric-start engine is a bit over-sized to extend its life, and it's an off the shelf engine for fast replacement if needed. The hydraulic pump is rated for three times our average system pressure.

Hydro-Crank Testimonial
Marty Berns and his crew had pretty much given up on Non-Stop’s Heavy-Duty crank up scaffolding. They loved the versatility of the scaffolding system, but his men constantly complained about cranking. It had gotten so bad that the equipment Marty owned and made a lot of money using was left sitting in a hay field for a couple of years. Marty had reverted to using frame scaffolding in most situations, with an occasional mast-climber rental when the job dictated. Marty understood the production increases of elevating scaffolding, so it bothered him to have such a productive asset parked in the yard.
With a big job coming up, Marty was considering purchasing mast-climbers when he heard about our new Hydro-Crank upgrade. He immediately pulled his equipment out of the field and put it on a job. His men, at first, complained when they saw that dreaded green equipment on the jobsite. But after a 10-minute setup they fired up the power unit and were amazed. His crew was excited to start work the next morning. Two laborers kept up with five masons laying 8” block all day with no problems. Since the Hydro-Crank lifts more than 2 times faster than a man can crank, they had plenty of time to tend the masons without getting behind. Marty said, “the scaffolding will never be parked again!” Marty’s son, Jason said: “We upgraded to Hydro-Crank at a fraction of what we were going to spend on some mast climber… boy that would have been a costly mistake on our part.”

“I’ve been using Non-Stop scaffold for about a year now. I can’t say enough good things about this stuff. The guys love it! No more hopping planks and the material is always at the right level for efficient and ergonomic work. Production has gone up tremendously on the jobs we utilize this scaffold. If you’re on the fence about buying this or worried you’ll not be able to make money with it, rest assured…. you will. I waited almost 2 years before I got sick of lost time jumping planks and handling material over and over again. The only regret I have is not doing it sooner and making the money I am now 2 years ago! Thank you Non-Stop Scaffolding!”
"Non-Stop’s service is outstanding. Always has been, always will be. The equipment is phenomenal. For block work, I only Non-Stop. I own 8 mast-climber units and I’m about to start a $2.2mm job and plan to use nothing but Non-Stop Scaffolding on that project. It’s not that Non-Stop is better than mast-climbers, or vice versa, it’s that they each have their place. For high school gymnasiums going up 45’, you can’t beat Non-Stop Heavy Duty. For 130’ tall work, I use my mast-climbers. The key is to keep ALL your men working waist high all day long."
“We own Heavy Duty, standard duty and VIP and have been impressed with not only the equipment but the service. Our guys are tough on equipment and Non-Stop has been quick to repair components and get us back on track. Any time we need a special part for a tough job, they help us design the right part, and they do it quickly. The safety is unmatched. I don’t have to worry about my guys climbing to build scaffolds like when I used 6-foot jacks. We don’t have scaffold-related OSHA problems when we’re using Non-Stop. I haven’t even mentioned the production advantage. These days you can’t afford to not own Non-Stop. It’s hard to stay competitive without some sort of advantage. non-stop is our advantage.”
