The Scaffold Tower: An Ideal Solution for Working at Height

Updating and revising those standards is an important process that continually improves tower safety.

Wide range of optional accessories including castors, adjustable bases, stabilisers, platform boards etc. LEWIS Scaffold Towers is a reputable manufacturer of mobile scaffold towers in the UK. We've been in business since 2004 and are renowned for our quality, durability, and safety when it comes to aluminium towers. Let’s begin with the basic EN 1004 mobile access tower – a straightforward but versatile piece of access equipment. By definition, an EN 1004 mobile access tower is a freestanding, single bay structure with four legs and wheels (so that it’s mobile). It has only one working platform at a time and can reach a maximum platform height of 8m outdoors and 12m indoors. They’re generally made of aluminium or GRP (fibreglass). Where possible, we recommend the use of stabilisers on all towers from these platform heights - 6'0" (4' x 2'6" & 6' x 2'6") and 8'9" (4' x 4' & 6' x 4'). Our steel scaffold towers are made in our UK workshop from top quality British Steel. We also have a wide range of scaffolding tower components and accessoriesThis tower has a rectangular type foot print, not a square footprint. It measures 4 feet by 2 feet 6 inches and comes with a set of platform scaffold boards as standard. New safeguards have been introduced to help prevent accidents, such as measures to prevent castor wheels falling out and a requirement for the platforms to be secured at both ends. Full range of frames gives tower base size options - 4’x4’ ( the most popular ); 6’x4’ ; 4’x2’ ; 6’x2’.

Following frequent poor service from external delivery companies, we invested in our own fleets of vans and drivers alongside comprehensive logistics software. Alongside that came a new second part to the standard, which covers the drafting and content of instruction manuals for these scaffold towers. This standard, which was published in November 2021, is EN 1004-2:2021 and the new part 2 replaces the now withdrawn standard EN 1298.The sections and components are lightweight but engineered to be extremely strong, hard wearing and easy to assemble. With a handrail all around the working platform, towers offer a much safer alternative to ladders or steps. We are so confident in the superior quality of our product that we give a comprehensive FIVE YEAR GUARANTEE against faulty materials or workmanship. Diagonal cross member sections are introduced internally within the tower structure to reduce or minimise any instability. AGR Towers Advanced Guard Rail Towers with a one-piece guardrail that's integral to the build of this mobile tower. A revised European standard for these towers was published in November 2020, known as EN 1004-1:2020 (published by BSI in the UK as BS EN 1004-1:2020). It replaced EN 1004:2004, the previous version, which was then withdrawn in November 2021. The -1 in the number means part 1.

The timber scaffold boards are the full width and depth of the tower so there also aren’t any trap doors to climb through. Steel scaffold towers are a lot simpler than aluminium towers and consequently can be much more competitively priced. Stairwell Tower: Height 2.4m The Stairwell Tower is a fantastic solution to all those whom have trouble with access on a staircase.Steel towers usually are ‘slotted’ together where slightly widened tubes on the bottom section slot into the more narrow top sections to act like a spigot joint. This tower can solve almost any access problem whether its gutter cleaning, internal or external decorating, hedge and tree trimming and all general maintenance.
