The Alum-A-Pole Story: Innovating Safer, Smarter Job Sites Since 1980
In 1980, siding contractor Carl Anderson recognized a dangerous truth: the makeshift pump-jack scaffolding systems of the time—built from nailed 2x4s, wooden walk planks, and unstable bracing—simply weren’t safe. Determined to create a better solution, Carl developed what would become the Alum-A-Pole®—the industry’s first aluminum pump-jack pole and the foundation for an entire scaffolding system built around safety and performance.
Working closely with OSHA’s Head Compliance Officer, Bill Simms, Carl engineered and tested the complete Alum-A-Pole Scaffolding System, which became the first pump-jack system approved for a 50-foot shoulder working height—a major upgrade from the standard 30-foot OSHA limit at the time. Since then, not a single accident has been reported when users follow instructions and OSHA guidelines.
Trusted by trades. Proven for decades.
For over 40 years, Alum-A-Pole has built tools that outperform and outlast. The original Alum-A-Pole was lab tested to 5,000 lbs and OSHA approved for a 50-foot working height, and we kept raising the bar with Pro-Trim® DuroBend® solid vinyl coil and the Alum-A-Brake®. The result is simple: equipment crews rely on, job after job.
Built to Perform. Proven to Protect.
For over four decades, Alum-A-Pole has delivered the safest, most durable scaffolding systems, siding brakes, and vinyl trim coil products on the market. Every innovation is designed with the tradesperson in mind—because your work deserves tools that keep up with you.
Whether you’re climbing to new heights or bending trim on-site, trust the products built by a contractor who never settled for “good enough.” Alum-A-Pole. Pro-Trim. Pro-Jack. Built for Safety, Built for the Pros.
To date, well over one million Alum-A-Poles have been sold and still not a single accident when basic instructions were followed.
Safety: Built Into Everything We Make
At Alum-A-Pole®, safety isn’t a feature—it’s our foundation. From the very first product designed in 1980 to today’s fully engineered scaffolding systems and siding brakes, every tool we manufacture is built with one mission in mind: to keep tradespeople safe while they work at height.
The Industry’s First OSHA-Approved 50’ System
When Carl Anderson, a siding contractor, saw how dangerous traditional wood-built scaffolding and pump jacks could be, he knew there had to be a better way. That’s why he invented the Alum-A-Pole Scaffolding System, and with it, ushered in a new era of elevated jobsite safety.
Working directly with OSHA and their lead compliance officer, Bill Simms, Carl helped establish the first scaffolding system approved for a 50-foot shoulder working height—a groundbreaking improvement over the then-standard 30 feet. It’s still the gold standard today, recognized across the industry for its durability, engineering, and unmatched safety record.
