How much time does it take to assemble a tower?

It is so straight-forward, even if you have never put together a scaffold tower before, the scaffold tower can be assembled between 30 minutes to an hour.
Mobile scaffold towers may not allow a contractor to reach the same height as those using a standard scaffolding but it does offer mobility and convenience because it can be used for so many different tasks.
And the best bit about mobile scaffold towers is that it does what it says on the tin. You don’t need to waste time dismantling and re-assembling the tower every time you need to move it making it a practical option when it comes to saving energy and effort on site.

Many mobile scaffold towers also boast a special folding mechanism which means the tower will take up less space while it is in use.
The tower has a variety of special safety features. It has smooth rolling, locking wheels, guard rails and locking mechanisms for all the moving parts. It even has a patented colour coded brace hook for a secure grip. That means you will know when it is put together correctly.
Other features include a system of integral ladders built into the end frames for safe access, ribbed tubing for non-slip grip and a rugged stabiliser for outstanding rigidity.
A mobile scaffold hire is also perfect if you need to do jobs around the home. Inspecting your roof, cleaning the gutters or even cleaning the highest windows can be a daunting task but with a mobile scaffold tower you can complete all of these jobs is total safety.
Reports from the HSE show that falls are the biggest cause of death and injury so don’t take the risk and become another statistic; choose the safe option when working at height.
What are the important safety tips when using a mobile scaffold tower?
When setting it up, make sure that the base is wide enough as this will prevent the whole thing from tipping to one side. If height needs to be added to the equipment, adjust the size of the base as well. The main principle in determining the right height for the base is to limit its size to four times the size of the base. A good hire company won’t supply equipment that is too tall for the stabilisers that have been supplied, you shouldn’t have a problem with this. Always check the user guide to be sure.
In pushing the scaffold, it’s better not to push the body as this is known to tip the whole equipment over; the weight will be very hard to counter, even with several people pushing against it. Never push a tower that is over 3.2m in height.
Make sure the casters are high quality and push the tower as close to the bottom as possible. Not only is this strategy safer and prevents the equipment from tipping, but it’s also effective in moving the scaffold past mini-obstructions like slightly uneven ground, humps, pebbles and bumps. According to industry standards, manual force used to move the scaffold shall be applied as close to the base as possible but it should not applied beyond 1.5 m above the supporting surface.
Always check the weight specifications of the mobile scaffold to prevent overloading which can cause the weight of the whole equipment to shift and work against the stability of the base.
Lastly, before getting on the scaffold, be sure that the castors are locked to prevent movement.
