Tips

register
鹰架 is more common in Taiwan; mainland mandarin usually says 脚手架 for the same thing. Both are correct - match the variety of Chinese you're writing.
memory
鹰 (yīng) = 'eagle', 架 (jià) = 'frame/rack'. Picture the wooden frame perched up high on a building like an eagle's nest - that's your scaffolding.
