Werner Introduces New Telescoping Scaffold Designed for Faster Setup and Greater Mobility

New Werner Compact Rolling Scaffold Retracts for Transport, Fits Through Standard Doorways and Elevators, and Delivers Five Adjustable Working Heights for Maintenance and Repair Professionals

 

Itasca, IL, August 4, 2026 – WERNER®, the global leader in ladders and manufacturer of advanced climbing and fall protection products, today introduced the ATS-72 Telescoping Scaffold, an innovative rolling scaffold that gives maintenance, repair and finishing professionals a faster, more portable way to complete elevated work inside commercial facilities.

Designed specifically for indoor applications, the ATS-72 features a retractable telescoping frame that allows one person to transport, assemble and reposition the scaffold with ease. It fits through standard doorways and elevators while providing five adjustable platform heights with a maximum reach of 13 ft. 1 in., helping professionals complete more work with a single access solution.

"Today’s maintenance professionals aren’t working in one place all day,” said Eric Blankinship, Senior Product Manager at Werner. "They're constantly moving throughout buildings while working against tight deadlines. We designed the ATS-72 to go where traditional scaffolding can't, giving professionals a faster, easier way to move throughout a facility while maintaining the stability professionals expect.”

 

Scaffolding That Goes Where Others Can’t
Traditional rolling scaffolds perform well once they're assembled but transporting them through commercial buildings or repositioning them throughout the workday can slow productivity. The Werner ATS-72 Telescoping Scaffold was engineered to eliminate those challenges with a retractable aluminum frame that collapses into a compact footprint, rolls easily through facilities and fits through standard doorways and elevators. Tool-free assembly and one-person operation help professionals move quickly from task to task while maintaining the stability expected from a professional-grade rolling scaffold.

Five adjustable platform heights allow users to tackle a variety of elevated tasks using a single scaffold rather than switching between multiple access solutions. A large work platform, integrated 39-inch guardrail system, and 500-pound load capacity provide the stability professionals need while working with tools and materials.

 

Designed for Mobile Maintenance Professionals
Whether servicing HVAC systems, performing facility maintenance, completing painting and remodeling projects or conducting routine repairs in office buildings, hospitals, hotels, airports and retail facilities, professionals need elevated access equipment that moves as efficiently as they do. The ATS-72 combines portability, fast setup and five adjustable working heights into one compact rolling scaffold designed to keep work moving throughout the day.

The scaffold's retractable design requires minimal storage space when not in use and fits through standard elevators, making it well suited for commercial buildings. Tool-free assembly and one-person operation help professionals go from transport to elevated work in minutes, while eliminating much of the equipment and labor often associated with traditional rolling scaffolds.

Engineered for maximum safety, stability and ANSI compliance, the Werner Telescoping Scaffold, model ATS-72, combines portability with professional-grade features designed to support safe, efficient elevated work, including:

  • Tool-free, one-person setup with color-coded assembly labels
  • Compact telescoping design fits through standard elevators and stores in minimal space
  • Five adjustable platform heights with up to 13 ft. 1 in. average reach height
  • Integrated features include guardrail, toe boards, outriggers, bubble level and pinch-resistant sections for safer operation
  • 500-lb load capacity supporting the user, tools and materials

 

The introduction of the ATS-72 builds on Werner’s expanding portfolio of compact access solutions, following last year’s launch of the Werner Telescoping Ladder. Together, these innovations reflect Werner's continued investment in helping professionals work more efficiently by making elevated access easier to transport, faster to deploy and safer to use.

The new Werner Telescoping Scaffold is now available nationwide through Werner distributors and retailers. For more information, please visit www.wernerco.com.
