| 1.
Material: Premium Quality starts with the best
raw materials. We only use the high-grade Manganese
steel that comes with the original factory
certification for the maximum yield and tensile
strength, at minimum 65.000 PSI and 80.000 PSI,
respectively (this is 2 grades higher than the steel
used by most other Chinese manufacturers). Combined
with larger OD tubes for both legs/headers and
interior members, all our frames exceed the
requirements of OSHA and American industry standards
for construction scaffolding.
2. Accuracy: With computer design, all
products and parts are of exact measurements. We are
able to manufacture a complete line of construction
scaffoldings and accessories in-house, including the
steel tubing. This offers even better control as
well as flexibility to meet customer's demands and
customization. All tubes are then machined into
parts, placed in precision jigs and fixtures to
maintain rigid accuracy during assembly and welding.
The standards allow for dimensional tolerance at +/-
1/16" (1.59mm), whereas we require at no more
than +/- 1 mm at factory.
3. Welding & Control: Our welding
joint is fully coped to provide larger surface in
order to insure superior strength and integrity. All
products are checked at each production stage before
they are allowed to the next level. Finally, no item
leaves the factory without a thorough final
inspection by a dedicated quality control person.
Moreover, we are currently undergoing ISO 9002
Certification, which will further enhance our Total
Quality Assurance System.
4. Powder Coating. We now powder coat all
our frames using our state of the art conveyorized
powder coating system and DuPont premium outdoor
powder. WTI's system includes metal pre- treatment
utilizing a shot blast machine--- the most efficient
means of scale, rust removal and surface preparation
for enhanced product quality. Then items are steam
cleaned before they are ready for powder
application. We have two stainless steel powder
booths for quick color changes and quality coating
at 70 microns. Finally, items enter into high
temperature oven at 450 degrees to seal the finish
to steel surface. More importantly, unlike most
other manufactures, we also coat the inside of the
tubes with rust-inhibitive paint to prevent them
rusting from inside out.
5. Galvanizing. We galvanize all our
Rails, Goosers, Crosses, Legs and other items with
Yellow-zinc at no less than 15 microns thick. This
type of galvanizing is more expensive and more
durable (in fact last 3 times longer) than other
types of electro-galvanizing.
6. Strength: All our Guardrails and Cross
Braces are cold-pressed (at the ends), not heated so
there is no damage to the integrity of the steel,
which is a special cold-rolled steel we have
developed with the steel mill. Overall, the results
are scaffold products that are much more durable,
corrosion resistant and better able to withstand job
sit usage.
7. Shipping: Our packing system is the
best in the industry. It's very stable and easy for
unloading thus preventing any damage during the
shipping and saving time and money for our
customers.
8. Safety: We constantly test our products
at Factory and in US labs in order to ensure they
meet both Federal and State standards. We also
encourage our customers to test our products as
well. The test that we have just completed shows our
Frames can withstand the load of 3860 LBS/Lea.

Notes: #1 is for 1.69" STYLE OD
series Frames, and #2 is for Snap On and FLIP LOCK
style Frames. These two types of Manganese steel are
most commonly used ill our factory. We test every
shipment of steel materials before using them. And
we also constantly test our finished frames ill
order to make sure that they meet load standards.
