DIY Scaffold Tower - Home Master Aluminium Towers - Quick Assembly (7m Home Master DIY Scaffold Tower)

Product Information

As per PASMA guidelines and the HSE, they both recommend not wearing a safety harness when working from a mobile aluminium scaffold tower. If the guardrails have been correctly installed as per the instruction manual, the tower will have the required fall protection. Martin Lewis: What the Autumn Statement means for you – including wages, benefits, pensions, ISAs, national insurance and more Highly visible inspection record tags should be attached to the scaffold tower, allowing operatives to see when a tower is ready for use. The tower is 6m tall; the maximum platform height is 5m; the reach height when you’re on the platform is 7m. Manufactured in the EU by a long established, premier manufacturing company who hold the prestigious ISO2001 standard (quality assurance) for your confidence and peace of mind

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. 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. 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 For your safety - Tower is climbed internally through a trap door in the platform which is then lowered and becomes part of the platform 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.Misleading product description; the tower is 4m tall; 5m is the reach height when you’re standing on it (if you’re 2m in height).

Stabiliser bars fitted to each end of the tower give a large footprint to deliver the greatest possible stability when in use The Top Tower Classic 6.3m is just one of a set of scaffold towers with a range of base sizes and heights. The first step of your customisation process is to decide what size base and height you need. The Classic 6.3m maximum platform height is 4.3m and the reach is 6.3m. The base size of the model we review here is 1.21m by 80cm. The range of base sizes available also includes 1.21m x 1.21m, 1.21m x 1.82m and 1.82m x 80cm. Whatever size you choose, the manufacturer recommends that the scaffold tower be tied to a building for stability and safety. This is prohibited; a mobile scaffolding tower should never be moved if workers or equipment are on the platform.This is the maximum amount of weight that the structure can hold safely. Most of these products can handle at least 150kg, which sounds a lot, but if you’re going to be loading up the platform with paint cans, power tools, etc. that max load can soon be reached. So, be careful and do a bit of mental arithmetic before getting up there on that platform. Stability We supply ‘double width (1.45m)’ and ‘single width (0.93m)’,and with a choice of either a 2.5m or 1.8mlong work platform. Normal width towers provide plenty of space for workers and equipment, so they are ideal for many different jobs.You can use narrow width towers in stairwells, alleys, corridors, and confined forecourts. They are compact enough to use safely in tighter spaces. The Home Master DIY scaffold tower is one of the easiest to set up that I have ever gotten my hands on. The lightweight aluminium components are a doddle to move around, and little, thoughtful, design features like the colour coded braces, make things really straightforward. Our aluminium towers use the 3T (Through The Trapdoor) method. 3T offers safe and secure access to the platform through a trapdoor. You climb the built-in ladder system from inside the frame of the tower. You reach the work platform internally and in stages.3T prevents you from climbing up the outside of the scaffolding, which could result in a fall from a height. You really have to read the small print about the height of the scaffold tower. The height of the tower (a) will give you the height up to the top of the top guardrail. The maximum position of the platform (b) gives you the highest safe point that the platform should be at and that’s where you stand. And the reach point (c) gives you the highest point that a person 2m tall (that’s the average height they use) can reach up to and work at.
