Can I build a tower higher than 7m (working height)? (Domestic towers)

Yes, our eDIY and MDIY towers can reach a maximum working height of 7.15m (23’5”) and our SUPER DIY has a maximum working height of 9.35m (30’9”). For anything taller please see our Trade King and Loyal Industrial towers.

Do I need a certified tower?

Certification to EN 1004-1:2020 is a legal requirement for equipment used on commercial construction sites or for business use. For homeowners, it is a hallmark of safety and quality assurance.

What is the difference between working height, tower height and platform height?

Working height is generally calculated as the platform height plus 2 metres, representing the reach of a person standing on the platform. Tower height is the physical height of the structure itself.

Can I fit a domestic tower in a car?

Most domestic scaffold towers are designed for easy transport. The components typically fit comfortably into a standard hatchback with the rear seats folded down.

How do I offset frames for use on a slope? (Domestic towers)

To use a tower on a slope, you should choose a model compatible with adjustable base plates or legs. These allow you to level the tower safely on uneven ground by adjusting the height of each corner independently.

Can I use the scaffold tower outside?

Yes, but you must strictly avoid using towers in windy conditions. Always ensure outriggers/stabilizers are deployed as per the instruction manual for maximum stability.
