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

Product Information

Scaffold towers, sometimes referred to as access towers or a tower scaffold, are highly useful alternatives to ladders when there's a lot of work to be done at height.

Our scaffold towers feature two wheels to facilitate moving. The bracing is fully colour coded, which facilitates erection and ensures that the tower is correctly assembled and braced. We also furnish stabiliser bars with a footprint that's larger than our competitors'. We're pleased to offer our popular aluminium tower with ultra strong 40mm diameter tubing that delivers exceptional strength. Assembly is quite simple and straightforward. The tower comes in 4 sizes and can be used indoors as well as outdoors. It has a maximum safe working load of 150kg. The platform is adjustable in 300mm increments. End height adjustment is included. This means the tower can be deployed on stairs. Finally, the tower comes from an ISO 9001:2008 manufacturer. The ISO 9000 set of standards represent international agreement on a set of quality standards. The result? Better products and better accountability. This tower offers great value for the price. Our scaffolding towers are also easy to transport and store as they fold flat, and some will even fit in a car. Any questions? PRIME quality steel (not scrap steel as in most low-cost towers) for highest quality DIY scaffold towers.A revised European standard for these towers was published in November 2020, known as EN 1004-1:2020 (published by BSI in the UK as BS EN 1004-1:2020). It replaced EN 1004:2004, the previous version, which was then withdrawn in November 2021. The -1 in the number means part 1. 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. In general, the greater the diameter of the steel tube, the more sturdy the tower will be so always look for one with this feature. Also look for the availability of additional safety features like stabiliser legs for the corners. 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.

Domestic DIY Towers are wonderfully versatile and give greater safety than ladders for outdoor house maintenance, indoor painting (including stairwells), hedge trimming, tree pruning etc. Manufactured from prime quality pre-galvanised mild steel tube which conforms to British Standard BS 6323 Part 5 1982 ERW1 KM, the superior finish provides excellent resistance to corrosion which keeps the product looking good for many years. For large scale home DIY jobs like decorating, pruning your trees and washing your windows, a ladder may not always be the best choice. A DIY scaffold tower will offer you more freedom of movement to carry out a task which is especially important if you need to be at height for a longer period of time. Choose the required Base Size for your tower. Consider if you will need to assemble it down narrow paths or down the side of your house. Remember if you choose a narrow base width (2’6”) then it will be less stable and will require stabilisers (outriggers) even at lower heights unless you can ‘tie-in’ to the building. We are so confident in the superior quality of our product that we give a comprehensive FIVE YEAR GUARANTEE against faulty materials or workmanship.Steel scaffold towers are a very useful access solution where a ladder is not practical or safe to use due to the nature of the task. A galvanised scaffold tower made steel will have a Zinc coating added to it. This will provide protection from the steel rusting.

Scaffold towers are for sale in both steel and aluminium and are essential for painting, re-pointing and maintenance work both inside and outside the house. Your Long Established SupplierSupplied with BASE RAILS as standard to tie the bottom pair of frames together for supreme stability. Scaffold towers eliminate the risk of slipping, which can happen with ladders; this is due to them being a free-standing structure. Like ladders, scaffolding towers enable workers to access high places. But a scaffold tower is more stable than a ladder, and the spacious work platform gives you more room to move about and put down tools that you're not currently using. This means you can work comfortably all day long!

Podium Steps & Low-Level Scaffs Chimney & Roof Scaffolds Garden Scaffolds Stairwell Scaffolds Zone 1 GLASSFIBRE Safety Towers Scaffold Towers have large work platforms, which can comfortably fit a worker and any necessary tools and materials, while at the same time being both rigid and stable. Short timber purpose made scaffold boards are then used to provide the working platform at the desired height. The scaffold boards will usually have additional timber battens underneath them. 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! Safety begins the moment workers begin assembling scaffold towers. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when erecting scaffold towers, and never deviate from them by using non-standard or jury-rigged parts. Many reputable scaffold tower manufacturers have formed alliances with the Health and Safety Executive to develop sound methods by which scaffold towers are assembled, used and disassembled. The country of origin of scaffold towers is an important consideration as well. It's wise to choose a tower manufactured by a reputable UK or EU company, rather than one from Asia, where the manufacturing and quality requirements are not as high. Quality is critical, and as important as price & value when working at heights to ensure health and safety, so be sure you choose your tower scaffold with great care.
