Scaffold Tower Assembly Overview
Follow these basic steps for assembling your scaffold tower. Note, this is a general overview and is not a replacement for the full instruction manual. Please refer to the official user guide for complete assembly and safety instructions.
Place all the components on a flat surface. Ensure that all parts are present by cross-referencing with the checklist in the official user guide.
Start by assembling the base frame of the tower. Use the color-coded components to quickly match each part for a smooth setup.
Once the base frame is securely assembled, attach the platform at the appropriate height. Secure the platform using the locking pins to ensure it is stable and won't shift during use.
The ladder is already part of the frame and does not need to be separately attached. Ensure that it's securely in place and provides safe access to the platform.
Adjust the self-leveling adjustable legs to ensure the tower is level and stable on the ground surface.
- Always use the ladder to access the platform and ensure it's securely locked before climbing.
- Never exceed the safe working load of 950kg.
- Start building with the smallest height frames at the base.
- Install platforms every 2 meters, with guardrails placed before climbing to reduce fall risk.
- Guardrails should be 1 and 2 rungs (0.5m and 1.0m) above the platform.
- Do not stand on an unguarded platform above the first rung.

How to use the Alloy Stair Scaffold Tower safely
- Set up on a firm, level base: Make sure the tower is on stable, flat ground before you start. Avoid uneven or soft surfaces that could make it unstable.
- Secure the tower before climbing: Check the stabilisers and adjustable locking are properly in place and secure.
- Use the integrated ladder system: Always access the platform using the integrated ladder access system. Do not climb the outside of the tower.
- Stay within the safe load limit: Do not overload the platform. Keep the combined weight of people, tools, and materials within the tower’s safe working limit.
- Don’t overreach: Keep your body centred on the platform and move the tower if you can’t reach comfortably.
- Check parts before each use: Inspect the tower for any damaged or missing parts, and don’t use it until it’s fixed.
- Keep edge protection in place: Make sure safety handrails and toe boards are fitted correctly before working at height.
- Follow site safety rules: Stick to working-at-height guidance and make sure anyone using the tower understands safe setup and use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is an Alloy Stair/Stairwell/Stairway Scaffold Tower
A stair scaffold tower is a tower that allows you to perform on-site installations and repair or decorating jobs safely and efficiently. It’s different width to our standard scaffolding tower hire.
Stairway scaffold towers provide safe access for your employees and workers to handle easy and demanding jobs on a stable work platform.
Platform deck heights for stairway scaffold towers can range between 3 m to 6 m.
We recommend going for a platform deck height of 5 m or 6 m for the maximum range of granting safe access and better productivity.
Furthermore, these stairway access towers are compact and lightweight, making it easier to transport and move around. A stairway access tower also comes with the following parts:
- Safety handrails
- Integrated ladder access system
- Safety toe boards
- Stabilisers
- Adjustable locking for better security
Why Choose a Stair Scaffold Tower Hire?
Painters, construction workers, decorators, contractors, and maintenance workers need a stable platform height advantage to minimise any slips and falls while on-site.
An unstable working platform is dangerous, not to mention costly, should any accidents happen. And also let’s not forget the safety standards you need to comply with to run your operations.
Ask yourself these crucial questions before performing on-site installations or repairs:
- Do you have an integrated ladder system for easy and safe access?
- Is your ladder frame a stable working platform to use in stairways?
- Can you guarantee safe stairway access while complying with Health and Safety standards?
- Are your employees comfortable working at height on a steep staircase or stairwell?
If you answered “No” to at least one of these questions, a stair scaffold tower hire is the right choice for you.
Working at height on a steep staircase doesn’t only affect the safety of your employees. It also affects the productivity and overall service your company provides.
For this reason, a stair scaffold tower hire can benefit you exceptionally well.
What are the Benefits of a Stairway Scaffold Tower
Stair scaffold towers come with a ton of benefits; however, not all offer the same advantages.
Here at Lakeside-hire, investing in your first alloy stair scaffold tower can be difficult and even too costly for some.
That’s why before you use one, we’ll share with you key points that make it safe and secure for your employees to use.
Uses High-Grade Aluminium (6062 T6)
Although the current highest aluminium grade falls into the 7000 series bracket, we specifically chose the 6062 T6 aluminium grade. This quality increases corrosion resistance and workability or formability compared to the 7000 series aluminium grades.
Heat treating, machining, and weldability functions are also possible in this high-grade 6062 T6 heat-tempered material.
Ultimately, our alloy stair scaffold tower ensures a durable & stable work platform and a sturdy piece of equipment you can rely on for many years. To view all the towers we have to offer see our products page.
ISO and European Standard Certified
If you’re worried about investing in an alloy stair scaffold tower hire because of low quality, that’s utterly a very reasonable concern on your part.
That’s why we made sure our alloy stair scaffold tower complies with both ISO and European standards so you can get the most value for what you pay for and receive the highest quality possible for your job.
Removable Ladder System for Safety
As tremendous and handy as ladders may be, these traditional systems aren’t enough to give you peace of mind.
Some stairways can be slippery, leading to an unsafe platform for your employees to work. An alloy stair scaffold tower comes with a removable/integrated ladder system to give your employees easier & safer entry.
This system also means less risk when you’re attempting to climb frame supports or access stairway gaps that are dangerous to your employees’ safety & security.
Works Well in Tight Spaces and Landing Areas
Believe it or not, these scaffold towers have a compact, lightweight frame that allows you to conveniently transport it around in tight stairway gaps, commercial vehicles, and on the site of the installation or repair. Though if you have a tight lift shaft scaffold tower would be a better option for you.
Stable Working Height Platform
As mentioned earlier, the risks of performing jobs on a staircase pose a lot of risks and hazards if you aren’t careful or know what you’re doing on one.
Stairway scaffold towers ensure a stable platform designed explicitly for stairwell access and allow your employees to complete jobs at a safe & secure working height.
Additionally, the tube welded frames and rubber stabilisers further enhance the stability and security of scaffold towers.
Do You Need to Hire Anything Else Alongside a Stair Scaffold Tower Hire?
Apart from the stair scaffolds, you won’t need to hire anything else for the job. Some may opt for equipment hire if you have multiple tools or equipment to bring along. If you plan to bring many tools, the best solution is to hire a hoist system.
This system would be beneficial if you have extensive tools to carry. Alternatively, if you only need to bring small tools, you can use a tool belt.
How Wide Are Stairwell Towers?
Stairwell towers can range between a width of 760 mm to 950 mm. It’s essential to collect any vital information about the place you’ll be working on before proceeding with your hire order. If you want something super narrow this one is available but only in London. Please check and measure the width of the staircase or stairwell to ensure you get the right stair scaffolds size.
Where Can I Order Stair Scaffold Tower Hire?
You can order your tower hire here at Lakeside-hire or give us a call at 0371 454 2344.
Once you give us a call, we’ll arrange your off-hire and make it an easy, no-fuss collection process. Besides, our PASMA trained hire coordinators are available for you to call if you want expert advice or consultation.
How to get in touch with our company?
All you need to do to contact our support team is to call us on the following number, tel 0371 705 3632. You can also fill in the call-back request form at the top of the page so we can get in touch.
Should I hire any additional equipment?
It should not be necessary, although if you want to transport tools and other items up to your scaffold towers, it may be the right idea to hire a pulley or hoist system.
