Assessed on the standards the product is actually certified to and on how the format fits a working shift, by Steven Eaton, WC Safety editor.
Written by Steven Eaton, WC Safety Editorial, from the published WEN listing. The score above is the live Amazon customer rating captured at review time - not a WC Safety test result. We did not laboratory-test this product.
The WEN 31104 Baker Scaffold Outriggers with 5-Inch Locking Casters, 4 Pack is one of our picks for the scaffold lineup. Everything below comes straight from the manufacturer's published listing - specs, capacities, and dimensions are theirs, not ours.
Baker-style scaffolds put a full guarded deck where a ladder puts two feet - for any task that holds you at height, that trade is worth making. Lock the casters before stepping up, plank the deck fully, and follow OSHA 1926 Subpart L: guardrails where required, and outriggers once platform height passes the base-dimension multiple on the label.
Key details, quoted from the manufacturer's published listing:
- Includes four outriggers with 5-inch diameter swivel casters
- Help your scaffolding meet both ANSI and OSHA jobsite standards
- Dual-locking brakes stop both wheel rotation and swiveling
- Designed to fit with the WEN 6.25 ft. Rolling Steel Scaffolding (models 31110 and 31110T)
- Universal fit installs easily on to the majority of baker-style square scaffolds
Compare all scaffolding & work platforms, use a rated ladder for short-duration access instead, and browse all jobsite equipment.

What to check before you buy
On lifting and load-moving equipment the rated capacity is the control. Match the published capacity to the heaviest load you will actually move, never exceed it, and keep everyone clear of the load path while it is moving. Inspect hooks, chain, forks and hydraulics before use; take anything with a deformed hook, stretched chain or leaking ram out of service rather than repairing it in place.
- Height-to-base ratio
- OSHA requires supported scaffolds over a 4:1 height-to-base-width ratio to be restrained from tipping by guying, tying or bracing.
- Platform capacity
- Scaffolds and their components must support their own weight plus at least four times the maximum intended load.
- Guardrails and planking
- Working platforms more than 10 feet above a lower level generally need guardrail systems, and platforms must be fully planked with gaps kept to the allowed minimum.
- Level, firm footing
- Base plates and mud sills go on a surface that will not settle. Blocks, bricks and improvised packing are not acceptable footing.
