You might just be toying with the idea of using an aluminium scaffold tower or you may have just completely stumbled across this website by chance and have an interest in scaffold towers. Either way there are many advantages of using an aluminium scaffold tower in place of step ladders, traditional scaffolding, stools, chairs and other makeshift platforms. This article shows the top six reasons why you should use a scaffold tower:

Your Safety
The biggest advantage of a using a scaffold tower is that of safety and this is s a fact – you are far less likely to injure yourself on a scaffold tower than you are if you are precariously balancing on a chair. The guard rails and toe boards on the towers will prevent you from accidently leaning or stepping of the tower. Using a chair or stool you do not have this protection, I you are used to using a step ladder you may find that you frequently overstretch yourself and this can result in toppling ladder.

Save your energy
Let’s say that you live in an apartment that has very tall ceilings that you just happen to be painting. If you’re on a stool your going to have to keep getting up and down to top up your paint tray. If however you’re at the top of tower you will have enough space to store all of your paint and different brushes, you’ll have everything you need to hand thus saving you having to step up and down all day!

Save your time
Compared to traditional scaffolding systems aluminium scaffold tower can be constructed extremely quickly, what’s more you don’t need to have years of experience to safely construct it. Most designs of towers are almost fool proof – you simply can’t put them together the wrong way.

You can get more height
A scaffold tower will enable you to reach heights safely that would otherwise be impossible by any other method – you can get towers that will easily reach up to 10m (approx 30 feet).

You can reach further
From the top of a scaffold tower you can safely lean and reach hedges and guttering that would have been difficult to reach from a traditional ladder. A privet hedge for example simply wouldn’t support the weight of a ladder being lent against it.

They are durability
Aluminium will not corrode it’s lightweight and strong, compared to traditional steel scaffold towers for DIY and light trade use and aluminium scaffold tower is an obvious choice.
