Description
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.
What Is MiTower?
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.

Use Cases & Fit
Choose Mi Tower when you need a platform at height for a single person: internal maintenance, HVAC and electrical installation, decorating, data and AV cabling, signage and shopfit, façade detailing, guttering, and light roofing tasks at a 6m working height.
The compact length and width pays off in tight plant rooms and narrow corridors, while the guarded platform supports precise work even at its top platform height.
The Mi Tower’s easy lock stabilisers create a stable foundation, making it a secure and efficient choice for single workers needing quick assembly and reliable scaffolding access. The MiTower features wind-lock catches to prevent the platform from lifting in windy conditions.
This Standard Mi tower platform is designed specifically for one-person use and has a maximum safe working load of 150kg. If you need a higher capacity, explore our full scaffold tower range.
For projects that require two operatives to work comfortably on the platform together, consider MiTower Plus—which accommodates two people with a maximum weight limit of 240–275 kg.

FAQs
How long does it take to build?
The MiTower scaffold tower is designed with colour-guided braces and tool-free locks, and it’s perfect for just one person to assemble. This quick assembly access tower is designed to maximise working time and minimise setup, component complexity, and transport delays, so jobs can be completed efficiently. This tower has a 6m working height, so a brief risk assessment and stabiliser setup are essential before use.
Will it fit through doors and into vans?
Yes—this scaffold tower is easy to transport. The Mi tower includes its own integrated trolley base, and passes through standard doorways and lifts or small vans for clean, efficient logistics. When the hire period is up and we come to collect the scaffold tower, there’s no need to move lots of platform components individually.
