Scaffold and Safety Training Services
Having the right tools for the job is only half of what you need to get the job done. Knowing how to use those tools is the other half. OSHA requires each employer using construction access equipment to have a “Competent Person” on site to identify hazards and correct them.
Associated Scaffolding’s Safety Instructors offer a variety of programs to meet that need, from “Competent Person” training for supported or suspended scaffolds, to OSHA 10 and 30 hour certifications, fall protection classes, confined space training and more.

Who We Are
Humble Beginnings
Originally named Associated Scaffolders and Equipment Co., the company opened in Durham, NC in 1947 providing scaffolding rentals to contractors in the local area.
Bright Future
In 1968 Gene Hawkins bought the company and ran it with his son Tommy, until Gene's retirement in 1985.
New Name New Vision
Tommy Hawkins became President of the company and changed the name to Associated Scaffolding Co. Inc. Tommy brought in his brother-in-law, Rick DeMent, who would later become Vice President of the company.
Expansion
With the growth in the Raleigh-Durham area, the company expanded in 1990 to a larger 24,000 sq. ft. building. This allowed the company to increase its product offerings and begin providing installation services.
Greensboro, NC
Associated Scaffolding opens its first satellite location in the growing city of Greensboro, NC. This location offers all the same rental, sales, and services as the main Durham location.
Columbia, SC
Only 3 short years after opening its first satellite location Associated Scaffolding opened their 3rd branch, this time in Columbia, SC. This location allowed service to Myrtle Beach, Charleston, and Greenville,SC.
Richmond, VA
Pushing north this time, Richmond, VA was the next area of expansion for Associated Scaffolding. Providing the same quality services to Fredricksburg, Roanoake, Blacksburg, and Norfolk.
Corporate Headquarters
In 2007 the Durham branch moved again, this time to a 126,000 sq. ft. warehouse with space for a new corporate headquarters, distribution center, and full service retail showroom.
Safety Store & Online Sales
In 2008 expansion came in the form of a new product category; construction safety equipment. All locations would now stock fall protection, PPE, ladders, and more. During this time the company also launched its online store, selling these products nationwide.
Knoxville, TN
Associated Scaffolding moved west, opening a new location in Knoxville, TN. This location services the mountain region in both Tennessee and North Carolina, providing the same great equipment and access solutions.
Raleigh, NC
With amazing growth in the triangle region of North Carolina, a Raleigh location was in high demand. This location focused on fall protection and safety equipment sales with only a small rental inventory.
Expanded Raleigh, NC
The growing demand in the Raleigh market allowed this branch to expand into a new building. This allowed for more inventory as well as full rental and installation services.
Knoxville, TN Expansion
In need of more space and a bigger safety store, the Knoxville team moved into a much larger location. This allowed for continued sales growth and inventory expansion.
Richmond, VA Expansion
The Richmond team was in need of a larger location. This new building allowed for a greatly expanded safety store and more efficient warehousing.
Charlotte, NC
In March of 2020 we opened our new Charlotte branch. This location lets us serve not only North Carolina's largest city, but also continue to expand our service throughout the Western part of the state.
