Action Scaffold MFG

OUR PLAN OF ACTION
We appreciate your interest in Action's scaffold products. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity in giving you a look inside Action's manufacturing principles and standards for QUALITY, SERVICE and SAFETY, while maintaining a COMPETITIVE EDGE. It starts with building a 50 year reputation based on our EXPERIENCE, which is where we began.

EXPERIENCE - Action Scaffold is a family owned business, started in 1953. Establishing ourselves in the rental and erection business in the Southwest, Action brings experience as a user of the scaffold products into the manufacturing business. We know all of the concerns that being a Scaffold Dealer or Contractor must deal with: your customer's demands, quality of products, competitiveness and relationships. Since 1953 we have built solid long-lasting relationships and that continues to every new account with Action. As one of the founding members of the Scaffold Industry Association (SIA), Action continues to be a leader in the scaffold industry. Jerry Schapira, our current CEO, served as the associations President in 1977. Howard Schapira, Action's President, served as President of the Scaffold Industry Association from 2004 to 2006. Built on a tradition of honesty, integrity and quality, Action has established itself with the values and experience that will lead us into the future.

QUALITY - The most important part of our manufacturing process is Action's quality control procedures, which are followed through all production stages to ensure a safe and dependable product.

 Stage 1 High Strength Steel
Starting with the best raw materials made in the USA, our scaffold frames are manufactured with high strength steel tubing rated at 86,000 PSI yield strength with 92,000 PSI tensile strength.

 Stage 2 Rust Resistance
After the flat steel is roll-formed into tubing, the outside diameter (O.D.), for our scaffold end frames receive a triple layer of rust resistance protection, before paint is applied. The first layer is a zinc galvanized coating. Followed by conversion coating that passivates the zinc to slow down the rust growth process. Finally, a clear polymer topcoat is applies to "seal in" the protection and also act as a primer before painting. The end result is a smooth, shiny end product, whose appearance is unmatched in terms of strength and durability.

The inside diameter (I.D.), of our scaffold tube is coated with a zinc galvanized finish which will prevent rust growth. In humid or wet climates, this is very important as no exterior painting will offer protection to the inside diameter.

 Stage 3 Production Phase
The tubing is machined into parts ready for assembly. They are placed in a precision jig fixture to maintain a rigid accurate product during welding, which is performed by certified welders. Before painting, a team of inspectors views each piece to ensure it's quality. It then continues to the painting unit, where a coat of rust-inhibitive enamel is applied, providing a durable finish, using an Action specified formula. Alternatively, Action offers a power coat paint finish. A powdered pigment is sprayed onto the steel, and sealed by baking the product in heat generated ovens. Customers may choose from a wide variety of colors. The end result is a high strength, durable and rust resistant scaffold product. A final inspection before shipment, assures our customers that they will receive the best quality product made in the USA.

SERVICE - COMPETITIVE - While offering competitive pricing, Action stocks large inventories of scaffold, accessories and plank at various warehouse locations throughout the United States.

SAFETY - In our ongoing effort to provide safety, Action is certified to teach Scaffold Industry Association classes in User Hazard Awareness, PAT (Primary Access Training), which is the basics of scaffold up to the minimum height to base ratio and CPT (Competent Person Training). Also, the Scaffolder Training, which is a long term multilevel training class that takes a layperson all the way to a journeyman scaffold erector. Action teaches the User Hazard Awareness class twice a month in English and Spanish.

Action is also a member in the Scaffold, Shoring & Forming Institute (SSFI). This association is made up exclusively of manufacturer's in the scaffold, shoring and forming industry. Its purpose is to promote safety procedures, regarding the use of their equipment and to develop industry acceptable testing criteria for manufacturers to use for comparable results and quality assurance to the end user.

We wish you every continued success in your business. Thank you for contributing to our success, by giving us the opportunity to serve you. We appreciate your business.
