Which one to choose?

Once you’ve decided that you definitely need a tower, it’s time to make sure you hire or purchase the correct scaffold for the job. If you have a simple repairs job that’s in one spot you may be able to get a standard scaffolding tower that is erected on even ground and secured in the one spot. If, however, you need to be moving along a surface such as painting a ceiling or repairing gutters, you’re going to want to be able to move it without dismantling it first. In that case, a mobile tower with wheels on the bottom would be perfect.

Don’t forget to also look at the length and width. Think carefully about how many people need to be working on it at once and if you need room for tools or materials whilst still being able to walk around.

What else to consider?

Make sure you speak with an expert and have all your heights and distances on hand so they can help you decide the perfect scaffold tower for your job. Also, make sure you check the legislation in your state for the maximum heights you can erect without having a qualified scaffolder on hand. There will be other things you probably haven’t thought about such as clear access, uneven ground, overhead head powerlines, or trees. Someone qualified in scaffold can make sure you are getting the correct tower for the job ensuring the right height, width, and safety making your next job a breeze.
