<p>Worked with Peri-Up. very flexible again if you have all the Parts, Not as versatile with Swivel Brackets, and saddle dicks hot/cold or double connecting points. I had a good time with it in New York recently with Skanska, we shipped it all out finally. German design not bad.</p>

<p>safway by far has the greatest selection of material to work with, and is the easiest to build in my opinion. cup lock is the strongest, but way to heavy, exspecialy when chaining matterial 100' up. sure lock & QES just suck in my opinion, exspecialy when it starts getting old. Excell Is probably the heaviest, but having cups so close togather makes for less measuring lol always nice... Safway all the way in my opinion.. It all gets the job done though</p>

<p>Justin,</p>
<p>I have probably said it before, but I think one of the best advantages of Safway Systems is the head clearance. That comes from using Imperial measurements rather than Metric. An average height man wearing a hardhat can appreciate that.</p>

<p>Rick, It has been almost forty years, so my memory on details is somewhat lacking. Quick Form and Quikstage may be one and the same. Superscaf was a second generation Quick Form with two levels of "V" pressings, one below the other and it gave the capabilities of having eight attachment points in the immediate area. Cannot remember the advantages of that, but I think one was turning a corner with the boards. QES type and Safway came along and it never really got off the ground. I just…</p>

<p>I agree, the only thing I don't like about At-Pac is the dog eared plank as standard, but they have made steady inprovements to the plank over the years and know they are changing a few things right now too.</p>
<p>Kwikform is used in Australia a lot but introducing all-around to the guys here. They really like it once they get used to it.</p>

<p>While I still believe that QES is the best I will concede that the Safway type plank are better in that they go around a post. And there is a comment somewhere in here that the plank flip "if the dog ear is busted off" that is incorrect. QES plank have the 2 hooks and the prong. The dog eared plank come from another system. Another advantage to Safway is the hd's if you can get them. Keeps your bay square. </p>

<p>i prefer safway over QES i dont care for QES pans they will flip out from under you if the dog ear is broke and the pins on QES pop out to easy for my liking...i will agree it is fast and sturdy but thats why its name is Quick Erect System....but all in all i really dont like safway when its caked in refrac i guess there is good and bad in it all...im a scaff put it in front of me and ill put it together</p>

<p>A couple of things not mentioned about Safway's system is the head clearance. Give or take a couple of inches, you have 6'-9" of clearance. That makes a difference working in the semi-darkness of a boiler. One of the originators of the design especially liked the positive locking and the redundancy to be able to visually see that the ends were properly seated and fastened. Other than hitting it as hard as you can there is no positive way to know that QES or similar system is locked in.…</p>

Safway systems is the best I've worked with. Qes is by far to flimsy and junklok is heavy and you can only get 4 bars in a cup.
