Baker

A "drywall baker" is a popular name for a type of lightweight, multi-functional, wheeled scaffolding used by contractors for indoor tasks like installing and finishing drywall, painting, or maintenance, providing a stable, adjustable work platform for ceilings and walls. These modular systems feature narrow frames, casters for mobility, and slip-resistant plywood decks with trapdoors, allowing workers to reach high areas safely and efficiently.

Key Features & Uses:

• Mobility: Small wheels (casters) let you easily roll it around the work area.
• Versatility: Used for drywall hanging, taping, painting, window cleaning, electrical work, and more.
• Adjustable Height: Platforms can be raised or lowered for different tasks, even on stairways.
• Compact Design: Narrow frames fit into tight indoor spaces, and they can often be disassembled and stored compactly.
• Safety: Offers a stable alternative to ladders, with features like trapdoors and heavy-duty construction, though proper assembly is crucial.

Why it's called a "Baker":

The name comes from the brand "Baker Scaffold," a popular manufacturer of these narrow, rolling scaffolds, making "Baker" a common term for the style, similar to how some people call tissues "Kleenex".
