Scaffold Towers for Trade and DIY Use

Choosing the right scaffold tower depends on the work you are carrying out, the space available and the height you need to reach. Our range includes mobile access towers for professional tradespeople as well as towers suitable for maintenance and DIY projects around the home.

Aluminium scaffold towers provide a lightweight and practical option for jobs such as decorating, building work, property maintenance and repairs. Different tower designs are available for more specific requirements, including compact folding towers where space and storage are limited, stairwell towers for working above stairs, and GRP fibreglass towers for environments where a non-conductive access solution is required.

You can also choose between different platform sizes and heights, making it easier to select a tower that provides the working space and access needed for the job.

Which Scaffold Tower Is Right for Your Project?

Different jobs call for different types of scaffold tower. Consider where the tower will be used, the space available, the required platform height and the type of work being carried out before choosing your tower.

Aluminium Scaffold Towers

Aluminium scaffold towers are a versatile choice for building, decorating, maintenance and repair work. Their lightweight construction makes them easier to move and assemble while providing a stable working platform at height. They are available in different platform heights and widths to suit everything from smaller indoor jobs to larger projects requiring greater working height.

Folding Scaffold Towers

Folding scaffold towers are particularly useful for lower-level work where portability and compact storage are important. Their folding design makes them convenient to transport between jobs and easier to store when not in use, making them well suited to decorating, maintenance and other short-duration tasks.

GRP Fibreglass Scaffold Towers

GRP fibreglass scaffold towers are designed for work where electrical conductivity may be a concern. Unlike aluminium, fibreglass is non-conductive, making these towers suitable for electrical work and other environments that require a non-conductive access tower.

Stairwell Scaffold Towers

Stairwell scaffold towers provide a working platform for jobs carried out above stairs and within stairwells, where a conventional tower cannot be positioned correctly. They are useful for decorating, maintenance and repair work where safe access is required over different floor levels.

The right tower will also depend on the available working space and the platform size you require. For general-purpose aluminium towers, one of the main decisions is whether a single or double-width tower is better suited to the job. Our guide to single width vs double width scaffold towers explains the differences and when you might choose each option.

Choosing the Right Scaffold Tower Size

Once you have chosen the type of scaffold tower you need, the next consideration is its width and height. The right combination will depend on the space available, the working area you need on the platform and how high you need to reach.

Single Width or Double Width Scaffold Tower?

Single-width scaffold towers have a narrower footprint, making them useful where available floor space is limited. Double-width towers provide a larger platform area, giving you more room to work and accommodate tools and materials.

When choosing between the two, consider both the space available at ground level and how much working room you will need once on the platform.

Platform Height vs Working Height

When comparing scaffold tower sizes, its important to distinguish between platform height and working height. Platform height is the height of the platform you stand on, whereas working height allows for the additional reach of the person using the tower.

Check which measurement is being quoted when choosing a tower so you can accurately determine whether it will provide sufficient access for the work you intend to carry out.

Scaffold Tower FAQs

The right size depends on the height you need to reach, the space available for the tower and the amount of working room required on the platform. Check the platform height as well as the overall dimensions of the tower before choosing, particularly when working in restricted spaces

Scaffold towers offer a stable, comfortable, and safe alternative to ladders. The spacious platform provides ample room to move around and keep your tools close at hand, allowing for increased productivity throughout the day.

A single-width tower is useful where floor space is limited, while a double-width tower provides a larger working platform. Consider the space available around the tower as well as how much room you need for yourself, tools and materials when deciding between the two.

Platform height is the distance from the ground to the platform you stand on. Working height takes into account the additional reach of the person standing on the platform. When comparing scaffold towers, check which height measurement is being used so you can choose a tower suitable for the height you need to reach.

Many scaffold towers can be used for both indoor and outdoor work, depending on the tower and the conditions in which it is being used. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and consider factors such as the ground conditions, available space and weather before using a tower

A standard scaffold tower is not designed simply to be positioned across different stair levels. For work above a staircase or within a stairwell, choose a tower specifically designed for stairwell access and check that it is suitable for the particular job.

A GRP fibreglass tower may be appropriate where electrical conductivity is a concern. Fibreglass is non-conductive, whereas aluminium conducts electricity, so the working environment and type of work being undertaken should be considered when selecting the tower.

Yes. We supply scaffold tower parts and replacement components separately from complete towers. Always make sure replacement parts are compatible with the make and model of your existing tower before ordering.
