PowerMast Wall-tied System
Our wall-tied system offers stable access at the range and scale of traditional scaffolds, but with the quick ascent ability of mast climbers.
Quick Ascent
With climbing speeds of 20-40 FPM and tools-free mast assembly, the PowerMast can access heights up to 200 feet (60.96 m) quickly and easily.
Easy Transport
A 100-foot (30.48 m) twin PowerMast system collapses small enough to fit in the back of a van or truck, ensuring unmatched portability.
Reach Tight Spaces
ReechCraft offers custom baskets as small as 36 x 26 inches, and the compact base plate ensures stable access with a small footprint.

Mechanics That Make Sense
ReechCraft PowerMast includes a wide variety of components and accessories that provide added benefits based on what each user needs. The variation of PowerMast accessories and components helps it adapt to any project.
Climbing Unit
The climbing unit features a lock lever, an overspeed brake to automatically stop the platform in the event of overspeed, and a gearbox with an overload clutch. It is also drill operated.
Adjustable Tie
The adjustable tie provides a wide variety of attachment options for the PowerMast system and allows the PowerMast to adapt quickly to various wall types.
Platform Support
Fastening to the climbing unit with four quick-locking pins, the adjustable platform support accommodates most platforms and rail systems.
Base Foot
The base foot uses the same quick connection as the masts, can be anchored to the ground, and provides a bottom stop for the climbing unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
The lifting capacity for each PowerMast climbing unit is 750 lbs per single mast or 1,500 lbs per twin system.
The maximum height of the wall-tied PowerMast is 200 feet, and the freestanding system is 80 feet.
PowerMast is designed to accept most modular platforms and walkboards that are commonly in use.
Because we utilize less costly and easily replaceable drill motors for power, each climbing unit must be operated independently. However, since there are generally at least two workers on a twin system who can operate both ends at the same time, synchronization is rarely an issue.
When the combined weight of the platform, people, and materials weighs 1,500 lbs or less, the maximum space can be as wide as the plank in use.
From start to finish with two people, setup time ranges between 30 minutes up to 2 hours, depending on the configuration. This includes carrying, loading, and erecting the system components.
The PowerMast is equipped with a gearbox and is powered by a corded drill.
Cordless drills are recommended for emergency descent only.
We recommend 8-9 amp, corded, 0.5 in. drills with a keyed chuck and an RPM of 2500-3500. These higher amperage drills are typically hammer drills, which are readily available at local hardware stores. However, do not use the hammer mode when when drilling on a PowerMast, as it may cause premature wear to the system.
No. Each climbing unit must be operated independently.
Each climbing unit is equipped with a lock lever and overspeed brake.
We have training materials and support available: just call 888-600-6160.
The PowerMast is equipped with an overspeed brake, which stops descent in case of system overspeed. In addition, PowerMast has a lock lever, which is a safety mechanism that stops the downward travel of the system when released.
The life of the gearbox depends on usage and maintenance. With proper upkeep, we’ve seen gearboxes last longer than 10 years without any significant maintenance. All components like bearings and gears are easy to replace as needed, allowing the gearbox to be used for the life of the product.
No. Each gearbox is equipped with an overload clutch, designed to clutch out in overload situations. The PowerMast will not move if loaded beyond the capability of the system.
