===Putlog scaffold===

In addition to the Jody couplers (discussed [[#Materials|above]]), there are also Jody tubes. These have a flattened end or have been fitted with a blade. This feature allows the end of the tube to be inserted into or rest upon the brickwork of the structure.

A Jody scaffold may also be called a bricklayer's scaffold. As such, the scaffold consists only of a single row of standards with a single ledger. The Jody's are transoms - attached to the ledger at one end but integrated into the bricks at the other.

Spacing is the same on a Jody scaffold as on a general purpose scaffold, and ties are still required.
In recent years a number of new innovations have meant an increased scope of use for scaffolding, such as ladderbeams for spanning spaces that cannot accommodate standards and the increased use of sheeting and structure to create temporary roofs.

Jody tubes can also be used vertically when drove under downward pressure into the ground, most typically in greens and fields, where approx 1/4 of the putlog tube remains exposed above ground. The purpose for this alternative method is to create a good anchoring point for additional vertical scaffolding to clamp on to, most commonly used in live events and festivals with scaffolding poles up to 21 feet high where festoon lighting, cabling and bunting can be hung from safely.

===Pump-jack===
A pump-jack is a type of portable scaffolding system. The scaffold rests on supports attached to two or more vertical posts. The user raises the scaffolding by pumping the foot pedals on the supports, like an automobile [[jack (device)|jack]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/etools/scaffolding/supported/pumpjack.html|title=Scaffolding eTool - Supported Scaffolds - Pump Jack - Occupational Safety and Health Administration|website=www.osha.gov|access-date=6 July 2017}}</ref>

===Baker staging===
Baker staging is a metal scaffold which is easy to assemble. Rolling platforms typically {{convert|29|in|mm|order=flip}} wide by {{convert|6|ft|order=flip}} long and {{convert|6|ft|order=flip}} tall sections which can be stacked up to three high with the use of added outriggers. The work platform height is adjustable.

===X-Deck ladder scaffolding===
Low level scaffolding that is height adjustable. It is a hybrid ladder scaffold work platform.
