Oldfields 2600SeriesScaffold
has had its imitators and claims of parentage – time to set the
record straight!!
The story goes... In 1983Oldfields acquired the ladder and
scaffoldmanufacturer BradleyBros. and formeda scaffold
hire division known asOldfields Industrial Hire, later to be
known asOldfieldsAccessPty. Ltd.With this expansion the
company located its operations to premises at Homebush
Bay.
In 2006/2007, OldfieldsHolding Ltdas part of its growth
andacquisition plan bought thewell-known “

amanufacturing plant inChina (
FoshanAdvcorpScaffold

AdvanceScaffoldPtyLtd
” was born and continued to
manufactureand export the

its reputationagainst copied versions in themarketplace due
to its proven success of reliability as a benchmark scaffold for
