List of Scaffolding Accessories
Here is a list of accessories you may need to get your scaffolding all set:
1. 7′ and 10′ Galvanized Cross Braces
To start, let’s talk about our 7′ and 10′ galvanized cross brace products. Cross braces provide stability and support to scaffold systems and enable the scaffolding to reach full load capacity. Each cross brace product is made of high-strength steel and has a galvanized finish that provides protection against rust and corrosion. These cross braces offer durability and resistance to harsh weather conditions, and also prevent the scaffold tower from sliding.
Like the 7′ galvanized cross braces, the 10′ galvanized cross braces are made of high-strength steel and have a galvanized finish to help prevent rust and corrosion. 10′ galvanized cross braces prevent the scaffolding from sliding and provide overall support to the scaffold. Cross braces are versatile, working for both standard and walk-thru scaffold frames.
2. Industrial Casters
If you are planning on building a rolling scaffold tower, you’ll need industrial casters for the job. Industrial casters are necessary components for scaffolding mobility, and will feature a locking mechanism to prevent unintended movement of the scaffold while working on your project.
The industrial caster is designed to be both strong and durable, and each caster installed on your tower can individually support 500 pounds. Industrial casters MUST meet the necessary safety regulations set by OSHA and ANSI. At Badger Ladder, we carry 8″ industrial casters in our online inventory, that not only meet, but exceed OSHA and ANSI standards.
3. Saddle & Angle Side Brackets
Need a side bracket for your scaffolding configuration? Saddle side brackets are versatile accessories that can be used to support scaffold planks, guardrails, and work platforms alike. The 20″ saddle side bracket from Badger Ladder is specifically designed with strength, durability, and longevity in mind. It is made of high-strength steel and is easy to install and remove from the scaffold system as needed.
Another option for supporting scaffold planks and work platforms is the 20″ angle iron side bracket. Both the saddle and angle side brackets from Badger Ladder meet and exceed OSHA and ANSI regulations.
4. 10″ Diameter Well Wheel
Scaffolding well wheels are designed specifically to easily transport equipment and materials up and down your scaffolding while working. Consider purchasing a well wheel to help significantly cut down on time having to climb up and down a ladder or find a way to get back down on the floor or ground to retrieve needed supplies.
The 10″ diameter well wheel from Badger Ladder operates smoothly, helping to take the headache out of moving materials up and down your scaffold tower, ladder, etc.
5. All-Steel Hoist Arm
The all-steel hoist arm is a practical scaffolding accessory to invest in for any time you need to find a way to hoist materials and equipment up to the scaffold.

8. 7′ and 10′ Diagonal Braces
Diagonal braces ensure that your scaffold system stays square and rigid while you work. They are constructed using a high-strength galvanized steel for durability and longevity. Diagonal bracing products should not only meet OSHA and ANSI standards, but also be easy to install. Badger Ladder offers 7-foot and 10-foot diagonal brace options to use with your scaffolding. Each diagonal bracing product can be utilized for rolling scaffold towers.
9. Leveling Jacks
Leveling jacks are extremely important for helping to secure foundations for your scaffolding, especially for uneven surfaces. Leveling jack products usually enable vertical adjustment. Our products include: leveling jack with socket ends, leveling jacks with swivel base plates, and leveling jacks with welded base plates.
The leveling jack with socket end, swivel base plate, and welded base plate products are each all designed to meet the necessary safety regulations and also are easy to install as needed.
10. Steel Base Plates
If you’re looking to add more stability to your scaffolding, the steel base plate is an essential component that you need to purchase alongside your other scaffolding accessories. Steel base plates will help you support the weight of your scaffold system and will also prevent it from sinking into the ground. The steel base plate can be used with the leveling jack with socket end.
Overall, the steel base plate is usually designed to fit most scaffolding systems and SHOULD ALWAYS meet the necessary safety regulations.
11. Mortar Board Stands
A mortar stand, made from tubular steel, is like a table, and is the perfect scaffolding accessory for masonry or other similar projects. A mortar board stand can be used on the ground or on scaffold. To make using the mortar board stand easier to use, it easily folds flat for transport and storage.
In addition, the stand can also be used on its side, and the double chains will ensure there’s no over-extension of the legs. The tubular steel provides strength while maintaining a low weight.
12. Pig Tail, Toggle, & Snap Pins
As its name implies, this scaffolding accessory is shaped like a pig tail. Pig tail pins are important for locking scaffolding pieces together. For example, you can use a pig tail pin to adjoin two sections of vertical scaffolding frames together. You can also use this pin to connect caster wheels to frames, or even for connecting base plates, side brackets, or guard rails. Strong and durable, it is crafted from solid steel and is the perfect solution for secure locking.
Toggle pins are another necessary type of scaffolding pin to use for adjoining two sections of vertical scaffolding together. They are designed to be strong and durable, since they are manufactured from galvanized steel. Thus, they’re easily able to withstand the weight of workers and equipment. Toggle pins meet the necessary safety regulations and are easy to both install and remove.
Snap pins are necessary for securing scaffold frames and scaffolding accessories together. They are designed to be strong and durable, able to withstand the weight of the scaffold system. In addition, snap pins meet the necessary safety regulations and are easy to install and remove. Our snap pins’ steel construction helps to resist corrosion. Use snap pins to secure the caster to the frame leg and outrigger to create a secure scaffolding system you can have a peace of mind using.
13. Tie Brace With Right Angle Clamps
The tie brace with right angle clamp is an important accessory for providing lateral support to the scaffold system. It attaches securely to your scaffolding and buildings according to safety regulations set by OSHA guidelines to better serve your projects. In addition, a tie brace with right angle clamp will come with pre-drilled holes to help you attach it to corners or flat walls.
Strong and durable, your tie brace with right angle clamp will also include a bar and clamp to attach the bar to the scaffolding.
Rolling Tower Outrigger
14. Rolling Tower Outriggers
When it comes to industrial scaffolding, you should consider investing in a heavy duty rolling tower outrigger.
These products are heavy duty stabilizers that help to significantly increase the stability of the scaffold system. They are used to widen the base of scaffolding, helping to reduce the likelihood of tipping over. With a rolling tower outrigger, you can also increase your ability to build higher.
Built to be strong and durable, an OSHA-approved rolling tower outrigger is usually powder coated yellow and should be easy to install and adjust as needed.
15. Steel Stair Units
Steel stair units are essential for providing safe access to the scaffold system and usually come with an inside and outside handrail to make ascending and descending the steel stair case safer and easier.
A steel stair unit should always be manufactured to be strong and durable, and MUST meet standards set by OSHA and ANSI.
16. Scaffold Tower Guard Rail System
Lastly, one of the most important scaffolding accessories you could invest in is the scaffold tower guard rail system. The guard rail system is an important accessory for ensuring the safety of workers on the scaffold system, preventing accidental falls from occurring. Easy to use, install, and adjust as needed, there are usually different configurations available to customize according to your specific needs.
Every scaffold tower guard rail system should be designed to be strong and durable, able to withstand the weight of heavy tools and equipment, and meeting safety regulations by OSHA and ANSI.
