Latest 4m DIY Scaffold Tower/Towers

Product Information

For all us sane folk, that probably doesn’t sound like the safest way to get things done, and so we usually call some scaffolders around and get the pros to do it, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Except for the expense that is. IMPORTANT: 4’ x 4’ and 6’ x 4’ towers with platform height over 12' 6" should be securely tied-in to building (or over 22’ 6” when set of outriggers is fitted). 4’ x 2’ and 6’ x 2’ towers - tie-in all towers over 6ft platform height (or over 15ft when outriggers fitted). Finally, as we talk about in our Buyer’s Guide, be aware of what the heights actually mean. The maximum platform height is 3m and the tower is 4m tall. The 5m refers to the reach if a 2m tall person is working on the tower. Always read the details from the manufacturer. Take a look at the BPS Access Solutions 7m DIY Aluminium Scaffold Tower if you need to reach greater heights in your DIY projects. Even if you do so only occasionally, this tower is worth a viewing because it can be used at heights (including 5m) up to its fully extended reach. You can paint your first-floor window frames and then extend them to paint the second floor trim.

The tower is 4m tall; the maximum platform height is 3m and the reach height when you’re on the platform is 5m. Scaffold towers eliminate the risk of slipping, which can happen with ladders; this is due to them being a free-standing structure.Manufactured from prime quality pre-galvanised mild steel, the superior finish provides excellent resistance to corrosion which keeps the product looking good and a pleasure to use for many years.

You climb the frame on the inside and go up through a trapdoor in the non-slip platforms. There are some people who are more than happy to balance precariously on the top of a telescopic ladder, with a brush in one hand, and a can of paint in the other.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. 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. At BPS Access Solutions, we have exacting standards for the scaffold towers we sell. In addition, we support our products with superior customer service.

PRIME quality steel (not scrap steel as in most low-cost towers) for highest quality DIY scaffold towers. When your DIY tower arrives and before you undertake assembling please ensure that all the parts are present, and the quantities are correct. For health and safety reasons please have a qualified or competent person erecting the tower and please adhere to the instruction guide. 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. Directional “Tilt and Glide” wheels included for ease of movement after the tower is erected. This is recommended for SDIY 5 (3 in ONE) working height tower or lower. FREE stabilizer bars supplied as standard.Be careful. Don’t buy a 5m scaffold tower assuming that you’ll be standing 5m above the ground. You may or you may not. Material

Platforms can be wood or metal. If the wood seems a bit flimsy or doesn’t have an anti-slip covering, consider a different make of scaffold tower or make adjustments to the provided platform. If you get a bit queasy at heights, consider a tower with a base and platform wider than 0.5m so you’ll have a more solid-seeming place to stand. A big advantage of a scaffold tower is that it provides a large stable platform to work on. It can easily accommodate workers and their tools and leaves both hands free. A ladder might need to be repositioned many times to cover the same working area.

The BPS Access Solutions 7m Scaffold Tower comes with four stabilisers that you put on the bottom of the tower to increase its stability. As you’re up 7m now, the extra stabilisation is needed. Most of the frame is made of superior grade aluminium and is rust and corrosion-resistant.
