Check out our team hard at work at our new Georgia fabrication shop, assembling custom-fit formwork for the beams of our superstructures (first photo) and using our new positive pressure masks (second photo) while working with rebar. The masks help to keep our shop crew even safer!

"Focused on uniting technical expertise and strategic leadership in scaffolding to move the industry forward as one."
Could column climbing shoes from steelworks or something similar be adapted for scaffolding? With re-engineering to fit scaffold tubes to comply with UK safety standards, Could they potentially replace scaffs steps, be used for high lifts and advanced guardrails, potentially removing the need for temporary intermediate lifts, improving efficiency and safety.
A potential innovation—but only if it enhances safety without adding complexity.
For example a lightweight scaffolding boot that transforms into a rigid climbing shoe when weight is applied, providing stability for climbing scaffold columns while remaining flexible and comfortable for everyday wear.

NorthStar Industries (NI). Established in 1996, NI has been a beacon of excellence in the Canadian market, known for distributing top-quality products such as Atkore Unistrut, Trench Drain, UNEX, and Iron Age Grating.
Brace Rods are used similarly to EHS Cable but are used in larger buildings with taller eaves. The taller eaves create greater magnification of loads, and this requires the use of larger diameter round bar. Typically, 1/2" to 3/4" diameter round bar is common but can be larger depending on the application.
Manual threading is required due to different sizes, lengths and requirements of the steel structure.

Steel Yourself for Some Fun Facts About Ratliff Industries!
At Ratliff Industries, we take our steel fabrication seriously, but that doesn't mean we can't have a little fun too! Did you know...
🔩 Our fabricators can bend steel into pretzels? Ok, maybe not pretzels exactly, but they are masters at shaping metal into even the most intricate designs!
⚒️ We have a secret handshake that involves choreographed welding sparks. (Just kidding, we prioritize safety over choreography!)
📐 If you laid out all the steel we've fabricated over the years, it could circle the Earth. Twice. (Approximately. We may have underestimated a bit.)
At the end of the day, we're a team that doesn't take ourselves too seriously. But when it comes to top-notch steel fabrication, we mean business! Check out our full capabilities at https://ratliffinc.com.
