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.

Assembly is a breeze with this product—no tools required! Made from lightweight yet strong aluminum, it’s much safer than working from a ladder.

Delivered promptly and is as described. My only negative comment is about the lack of detailed assembly instructions and the fact that the diagram in the packaging was printed on an inkjet printer. Given that the product was delivered on a very wet day, the pictures were next to useless.
I downloaded a sheet from the website which was for a similar but slightly different product – it was difficult to determine the correct positioning of the braces. Overall, using the tower on a flat paved area, it was reasonably stable but would be much better if anchored. Trying to access the platform using a stepladder through the lifting hatch was not easy as the tower slid on the ground. Reduced the height of the platform to about 3m and was a bit more successful.

  Hello Ian,
  Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
  Just sent you a downloadable copy of the product poster for your reference and information. Please see below link for the towers technical diagram and component list and link to the demonstration video also:

  To note, these towers come fully equipped with ladder frames and it is strongly recommended not to use any additional access equipment to build the tower for your safety.

Hello Paula,
Thank you for your review and yes, checked the tracking information and can see that your delivery was signed for as “lai” which stands for “Left As Instructed”. This was done by the driver as our default delivery instructions with our courier, if no one is in, is for them to leave in a safe location if there is somewhere safe to do so. They also take a photo of where the goods were left for insurance purposes which I can see that the driver did as it is showing on the tracking information. I’ve contacted our courier and they have informed that the driver did try to contact you on the mobile number provided but was unable to get through for some reason hence defaulting to leaving safe and signing their electronic scanner as “lai”. Hope this helps and if we can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to get in touch.

The scaffold is good value for money and fits the bill for work around the house. Don’t skimp though, buy at least 2 stabilisers, as the tower is a bit unstable when working at height.
