Scaffold Tower Hire
Aluminium access towers for height & reach
We have scaffold tower hire available nationwide. They provide a much safer and secure means of working at heights – at home and on-site. Simple to assemble, these self-build towers are ideal for working safely and comfortably. They are incredibly sturdy and easy to to move to a new areas because of the wheels at the base. These platforms are ideal for overhead installations, decorating jobs, repairs, construction projects and more.
Our aluminium scaffold 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.
When assembling the structure, you can install platforms at different heights. When you climb up the built-in ladder, you can access the lower level platform through a trapdoor. From there, you can climb up further to a higher platform. This ensures that you are fully supported by the structure of the tower as you climb up to the top.
These towers are available in a wide range of sizes. We supply ‘double width (1.45m)’ and ‘single width (0.93m)’, and with a choice of either a 2.5m or 1.8m long work platform. This gives you the option of having a tower with plenty of space for workers and equipment, or one that is compact enough to use in tighter spaces.
Our tower scaffolds have colour coded bracing to assist quick and easy assembly. The platforms are fitted with a wind lock to ensure extra stability and durability. Safety toe boards, stabilisers and adjustable locking castors are also provided. These features ensure a convenient and practical solution to your access problems. They also assist your safety and security. Each tower, regardless of size, has a maximum total safe working load of 950kg. 950kg is the full load that you can place on the castors. When checking the SWL for your tower, you must first deduct the towers' self-weight from the overall SWL. This gives you the maximum payload of the user plus tools and materials.
Tower Heights: 2.2m, 2.7m, 3.2m, 3.7m, 4.2m, 4.7m, 5.2m, 5.7m, 6.2m, 6.7m, 7.2m, 7.7m, 8.2m, 8.7m, 9.2m, 9.7m, 10.2m, 10.7m, 11.2m, 11.7m, 12.2m, 12.7m & 13.2m.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need to be qualified to build a scaffold tower?
If on-site or in a workplace, the person building the tower should be trained and competent. The most recognised qualification for anyone erecting, dismantling, altering, moving, and inspecting a tower scaffold is the PASMA Towers for Users course. It is a one day course. Once you complete the theory and practical sessions successfully, you receive a PASMA PhotoCard and Certificate, which have a five year validity period.
If you are a DIY customer using a tower on private land, qualification or training is not a necessity. However, it is still recommended.
What is the difference between 'Standard' and 'Narrow' width towers?
Our ‘standard width’ scaffold towers are 1.45m wide. This gives you plenty of space for workers and tools. Our ‘narrow width’ towers are 0.93m – they are designed for use in areas with restricted amounts of space.
What is the choice of deck size?
You can select a 1.8m deck or a 2.5m deck.
Do the towers have an integrated ladder system?
Yes. All of our towers have an integrated ladder system which allows access to the platform.
What is 'Working Height'?
‘Working height’ is a term which refers to the height that the tower gives you safe access to work at. Our towers are measured up to their top handrail. The working height is 1 metre above that – as you can reach up and safely work on something overhead at a height of 1m above the handrail.
Do I need to hire anything else?
No. Although if you are transporting tools, equipment and supplies up the scaffold tower, we recommend that you hire a pulley or hoist system. Hoists are safer than trying to carry the tools up the tower as you ascend. You can use a tool belt to carry small hand tools up the tower.
Can I hire for less than a week?
Yes. You can hire for a single day or longer - although the weekly hire rate would still apply as a minimum charge.
Can I collect from store?
Yes you can. Although you would need suitable transport, as our scaffold tower kits would not fit into a car. Our Hire Team would be able to recommend if your transport would be suitable for transporting a tower.
Can you deliver to my home or work site?
Yes we can. We can deliver to most areas in the UK mainland – to your home or work site.
How do you build a mobile scaffold tower?
Follow the manufactuer's instructions. There are user manuals for the Eiger 500 single width 3T and the Eiger 500 double width 3T towers available. These are our most popular models, but alternatives may differ. We also have a how to guide online. Scaffold tower hire near me.

The high ground
Refurbishing a 2 story house requires you to sink a lot of time into it, having a scaffold on wheels like this was incredibly handy and a big time saver, only complaint would be it was self assembly but it wasn't to hard to put together tbf, might be a bit tricky on your own to put together though.

Alloy tower
Used the site to hire an alloy scaffold tower. I was contacted to see if I could take delivery a day early as there was a shortage of drivers, so I ended up having an extra day for no extra cost.

Absolutely perfect bit of kit. I am impressed with the quality and functionality of all the bits that came with the tower. And customer service was brilliant as well
