Scaffolding towers - also known as scaffold towers or tower scaffolds - are becoming more and more popular in all areas of the construction industry. Scaffolding towers are a type of independent scaffolding system, which may be defined as scaffolding that is free-standing, and not dependent on the structure on which it is being used. Scaffolding towers have the quality of easy to erect and dismantle which is a definite advantage for workers in construction fields (for instance plastering, painting and decorating, roofing, and building). 

In the present economic environments, many residents are undertaking their own home improvement projects instead of paying lots of money to construction enterprises. In this case, many residents choose scaffolding tower as a wise investment, allowing them to get the benefits of scaffolding and being more safer than working with standard ladders.

 Construction enterprises and tradesmen that use scaffolding towers daily are likely to choose larger, heavy-duty scaffolding towers. In addition to being more solid and stable, they can provide a large number of working platforms, enhancing the working efficiency.

A new type and popular variation of tower scaffolding is the mobile scaffolding tower. These scaffolding towers have castors or universal wheels attached to the base plate of support poles (always known as standards). They can be quickly and easily moved. For decorators, plasterers, tilers and other such construction workers, thus allowing them to work much more efficiently, therefore allowing them to finish jobs much more quickly.

A properly secured scaffolding tower is much better and safer when working at height than ladders and other similar temporary structures: scaffolding towers bring the benefits of a full scaffolding structure, but without the drawbacks of time-consuming construction and inflexibility of use. A scaffold tower is much more adaptable, and can often be erected and dismantled with a minimum of time and fuss. For many construction companies and tradesmen in related industries, this combination of safety and flexibility means that scaffold towers are now an essential part of their work practices, and therefore an essential part of a profitable business.
