Masonry Equipment & Concrete Supplies

When is special masonry equipment needed on a job site?
Anytime you are constructing a building consisting of 65% brick or more. Even if the entirety of the building itself is made from other materials, you may still need, heavy duty masonry equipment if portions of the blue print call for brick walls or basements.

What is the least expensive form of scaffolding to use?
Veneer scaffolding is much less expensive than standard scaffolds and will perform quite well for smaller wall and basement construction. Veneer scaffolds weigh 35lbs or less and are made with single-piece construction that requires no assembly. They stand on adjustable legs that allow you to stand them up on either a flat or a sloping surface to creating a stable and safe two-level work platforms for all of your masonry equipment, tools, and supplies.

What is the quickest way to move bricks around on a site?
We recommend using brick carts that are made with special forks that allow them to grab stacks of brick at a time. Workers have said that it often takes them less than 1/3 the amount of time to spot brick around a construction site using a construction work cart than it does with other masonry equipment

What other specialized masonry equipment do you have in stock?
Forklifts can move mortar around in mortar tubs, then store and stack the tubs at the end of the day. If forklifts cannot access the part of the wall your crew is working on, you can substitute on or more mortar buggies that will do the same thing. If your crew is standing at heights over 4.5 or 5”, you consider plaster and masonry stands that will elevate equipment and tools so workers do not have to bend down to reach them.

Is there such a thing as heavier duty masonry equipment?
In a sense you could classify crane forks as heavier duty crane attachments. These special forks are designed to pick up banded blocks and brick pallets and balance them on a steady center of gravity. You may need to use crane forks rather than brick carts if your crew is working on a very large wall or if you are moving heavy block.

Does Easy Rack sell masonry equipment in packages or by special application?
We can. We would need to know some basic details of your project, the number of workers involved, your project safety requirements, and your anticipated deadline.
