A Guide to Scaffold Towers: Your Safe Access Solution for Working at Heights
By George Roberts,
Why Choose Scaffold Towers Over Ladders?
When working at heights, safety and stability are paramount. Scaffold towers, also known as tower scaffolds or access towers, offer a superior alternative to traditional ladders, particularly for tasks requiring mobility and the handling of tools and materials. At George Roberts, we specialise in providing a wide range of scaffold towers suitable for various applications, ensuring you have the best equipment for your needs.

Scaffold towers provide an ideal platform for painting and decorating. Their robust design allows you to move freely and securely at heights, ensuring your work is precise and free from the risk of smudging – a common issue when using ladders.
Guttering and Window Cleaning:
For guttering or window cleaning, the secure platform of a scaffold tower enables you to target those hard-to-reach areas with ease. Remember, safety comes first – avoid overstretching and always ensure your scaffold tower is securely positioned.
Construction Work:
Our scaffold towers are a popular choice among scaffolding specialists for construction work. Whether you’re involved in bricklaying or other construction activities that require frequent movement, our mobile scaffold towers offer the flexibility and reliability you need.
The Advantages of Using Scaffold Towers
Scaffold towers are designed with safety in mind, featuring a wide surface area for stability and being supported on four legs for a solid, free-standing structure. They are easier to manoeuvre than ladders, with most models equipped with wheels and castors for secure movement and positioning.
In addition to mobility, scaffold towers provide a sturdy working platform, ensuring that all your tools and equipment are kept safely beside you, minimising the risk of accidents and increasing efficiency on the job.
