Nationwide MiTower Hire Services
Need safer, faster access at height without tying up a second person? Hire a MiTower one-person scaffold tower. It’s designed specifically for single-person use, allowing for simplified access and operation.
The MiTower has a unique design that allows a single worker to assemble and erect the tower quickly, even in tight spaces. Because of this small footprint, the MiTower uses significantly less floor space than traditional scaffolding.
This sturdy scaffold tower assembles quickly, moves cleanly through tight spaces, and gives you a guarded work platform that outperforms ladders on safety, control, and productivity.

Product Details
MiTower (and the larger MiTower Plus) is an EN 1004 Class 3 compliant compact mobile access tower engineered for single-operative assembly in minutes. Its unique design as a quick assembly access tower means it can be erected by a single worker and pops up quickly for efficient scaffolding access.
The Mi Tower is as practical in live commercial spaces as it is on construction sites, as it safely rolls through standard lifts and doorways on its trolley. Indoors or outdoors, it delivers the controlled working position that ladders can’t provide, at a comfortable platform height & working height of 6m.
When to Choose Mi Tower Over Ladders
Ladders might have an attractive price tag, but they limit reach, security, stability, and safe carrying of tools. MiTower gives you a guarded, hands-free pop-up platform that keeps both feet and both hands where they belong—on a stable scaffold tower deck with perimeter protection.
The MiTower uses easy clip frame clips and easy lock stabilisers, creating a stable foundation and ensuring security for the user. Once erected and stabilised, it doesn’t need anyone to “foot” it, so a single trained operative can work at platform height efficiently with fewer compromises.
Key Advantages:
- One-person build: Set up and get working at height in 10 minutes—no second pair of hands required.
- Stable at its top working height: Guardrails, positive-locking braces, braked castors, and locking stabilisers create a firm platform.
- Compact to transport: Tight length and width means the Mitower packs into its integrated trolley base for storage and fast moves between areas, floors, and vehicles.
- Versatile onsite: Equally at home on maintenance, fit-out, shopfitting, sign installation, M&E, individual use, and light exterior work at any platform height.
- Low disruption: Small footprint suits corridors, plant rooms, schools, healthcare, and live retail spaces.
- Sturdy scaffold tower suitable for a range of environments: Makes scaffolding access easier and quicker for single-person.

Scaffold Tower Assembly Overview
Follow these basic steps to assemble your MiTower scaffold tower. This is a general overview and is not a substitute for the full instruction manual. Please refer to the official user guide for complete assembly and safety instructions.
- Lay Out the Components — Place all components on a flat surface and cross-reference with the checklist in the official user guide to ensure all parts are present.
- Assemble the Base Frame — Start by assembling the base frame of the MiTower. Use the components provided to ensure smooth assembly and proper fitment.
- Install the Platform — Once the base frame is securely assembled, position the platform. It’s already integrated into the frame, so no additional installation is required. Make sure the platform is securely locked in place using the locking pins or claws.
- Adjust the Ladder — The ladder is part of the frame and does not need separate attachment. Ensure it’s securely in place to provide safe access to the platform.
- Level the Tower — Adjust the self-cleaning adjustable legs to ensure the MiTower is level. Use the locking stabilisers to secure the legs and prevent any movement during use.
- Check Stability — Before using the tower, gently shake it to check stability. If it feels loose, adjust the legs and locking system as necessary.
