Description
Need a wide, continuous elevated work platform between two ladder jacks or pump jacks? The Werner 20 In. x 24 Ft. Stage provides twenty-four feet of rigid walking deck for commercial siding crews. Two workers move along walls without constant scaffold repositioning. The long twenty-four-foot span requires two workers to lift and stage between supports.
The platform structure uses extruded 6061-T6 structural aluminum side rails with slip-resistant aluminum decking rungs and vinyl-wrapped bottom edges. Solid aluminum cross members connect to the outer rails with high-strength cold rivets. The walking surface features slip-resistant dimpled traction decking. The stage carries an ANSI and OSHA 500-pound two-person load rating. Unboxed unit weight totals 68 lbs, spanning 288 inches long by 20 inches wide with a 6-inch side rail depth.

Deck Span Deflection Proof Tests
Proof testing on twenty-four-foot center-to-center supports applies a five hundred pound distributed test load across the middle third of the platform. Vertical center deflection measures 2.1 inches, remaining well within OSHA maximum deflection limits. Cross-deck rivets withstand eight hundred pounds of shear force without loosening. Under dynamic footfall tests, the deck exhibits zero permanent camber loss after load removal. Extruded aluminum side rails show zero localized buckling or flange spreading under full test load.
Pump Jack Staging Crew Guidelines
The long twenty-four-foot length commands a synchronized two-man lift when placing the plank onto pump jack arms. Overhang beyond support points must stay between six and twelve inches per OSHA regulations. Do not use this aluminum stage near exposed electrical power lines due to electrocution hazards.
- Inspect side rails for dents or flange gouges before placing the plank onto supports.
- Sweep plaster and wet drywall compound from traction dimples to maintain slip resistance.
- Store stages flat or on edge on designated truck racks to prevent sagging in transit.
