Microllam^TM Planks from Trus Joist MacMillan

Scaffold Service, Inc. sells and rents Microllam^TM LVL wood scaffold planks from Trus Joist MacMillan. LVL planking is the result of a unique manufacturing process that improves on Mother Nature’s best. Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is created by permanently bonding individual sheets of veneer together, using adhesives, heat and pressure, with the grain in each layer of veneer running parallel to the grain in the next. The process disperses defects, such as knots, splits and slope of grain, that weaken ordinary solid-sawn lumber. The result is lumber up to three times more consistent than ordinary lumber.

Longer life means lower cost: With Microllam^TM LVL scaffold planks, warping, twisting and splitting are much less of a problem, so they’re on the job a lot longer -- you’ll spend less money. Planks are so consistent that you don’t need to compensate for that "weak plank" that comes along every so often with solid-sawn planks. Consistent stiffness from one plank to the next means no surprises up on the planked deck.

A broad range of options lets you zero in on the most efficient size for each job. Planks are available in thicknesses from 1 1/2 inch to 2 1/2 inch and in various lengths.
