Tips

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