Wall Walker MWB6 Mid-Wall Bracket — Pair

This is the accessory that changes how the system works on a framing job, and the one most crews do not know exists.

The problem it solves

A top plate bracket scaffold does what the name says: it hooks over the top plate. That is fine while you are setting trusses. It stops being fine when the crew comes back through to install blocking, because the hook is occupying the exact space the blocking has to go. Crews end up either working around the brackets and leaving gaps to come back to, or striking the scaffold, installing blocking, and re-hanging it. Across the wall lines of a multi-family building that is a serious number of hours and a serious number of climbs, and every climb is its own fall exposure.

How it works

The Mid-Wall Bracket hangs the same Wall Walker brackets through the wall on any 2x4 or 2x6 stud rather than over the plate. It works on a sheeted or non-sheeted wall; on a sheeted wall it takes two saw cuts either side of the stud. The platform sits below the top plate, the plate is left completely clear, and blocking runs continuously in a single pass from a guarded platform, with nobody standing on the plate and nobody on a ladder handling lumber overhead.

Sold in pairs. Requires Wall Walker bracket assemblies, sold separately: WW03644 6 ft or WW03844 8 ft.

If your crews are working blocking off ladders because the scaffold was in the way, that is a solvable problem. Call us and we will walk through the wall assembly with you.

California requirements worth knowing before you order

Under 8 CCR 1645(e)(5) the platform must consist of not less than two 2 x 10 inch nominal size planks, extending not more than 18 inches and not less than 6 inches beyond each end support. A single 12 inch plank meets the federal minimum and does not meet California’s. Section 1645(e) also limits occupancy to two employees in any given 10 feet of bracket scaffold, with tools and materials limited to 75 pounds in addition to the employees. The wall the system hangs from must be adequately braced before anything is hung on it, roughly every 6 to 8 feet on 8 to 10 foot walls.

Scaffolding is the first compliance method listed in 8 CCR 1716.2(e)(1), which since 1 July 2025 applies at 6 feet on wood frame framing — including multi-family and light commercial, not just houses.
