Classic 8m (WH) DIY Galvanised Scaffold Tower 4 x 4 Base

Product Information

Scaffold towers are freestanding and self-supporting, so they don't need to lean against a wall or building. In a domestic situation, you do not need any training to erect a tower and the reality is that most users will not undertake any training. In these cases, a basic knowledge of tower safety can only be a good thing.

There are many situations when an access tower / scaffold tower could be a more appropriate solution than a ladder, both for safety reasons and for ease of use during a lengthy task. The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines suggest that ladders should be used when it is a low-risk situation, the task will take no more than 30 minutes and the ladder will be level and stable while in use. Trade Folding Towers Small compact foldable unit, for ease of mobility, transport and storage. Fits into most small vans. Steel scaffold towers tend not to have this option and generally access is via a ladder leant up to tower and tied off at high level so it doesn’t slip. A purpose made trap door within the scaffold would also be a great feature which would mean that access could be from the footprint of the tower which is much safer.Scaffold towers are self-supporting, meaning they do not need to be leaned against any wall or building, the very benefit that makes a mobile scaffold tower such a practical form of high level access. Especially if stored outside or typically near coastal areas where moisture or water can contain salt. For that reason, most, if not all will be a Galvanised scaffold tower. Available base sizes - 4' x 2'6", 4' x 4', 6' x 2'6”, 6' x 4' and a 4' x 2'0” Stairwell Kit so there is a Classic Tower to solve almost any access problem!

ALL Ladders Extension Ladders Combination Ladders Telescopic Ladders Roof Ladders Glassfibre Ladders Single Ladders A galvanised scaffold tower made steel will have a Zinc coating added to it. This will provide protection from the steel rusting. A scaffold tower (also called an access tower) enables someone to work at height more safely than when using a ladder. Scaffold towers can be used inside buildings for a variety of tasks such as painting a ceiling, plastering, accessing a hard to reach area or working at height with heavy or awkward items. Outside tasks where a scaffold tower might be useful include roofing, external painting, rendering, working on gutters, repairing windows plus many more DIY tasks. The timber scaffold boards are the full width and depth of the tower so there also aren’t any trap doors to climb through.

Cantilever Adjustable Legs (sold in a pair) are also available to help assemble your tower on a Sloping or flat roof to access the roofline above extensions and porches. Steel towers usually are ‘slotted’ together where slightly widened tubes on the bottom section slot into the more narrow top sections to act like a spigot joint.
