Product Information

Choose the required Base Size for your tower. Consider if you will need to assemble it down narrow paths or down the side of your house. Remember if you choose a narrow base width (2’6”) then it will be less stable and will require stabilisers (outriggers) even at lower heights unless you can ‘tie-in’ to the building. Many people often assume that scaffold towers are only for outdoor use, and mainly for tradespeople who carry out a lot of construction work, but this is not the case. DIY scaffold towers from BPS are extremely versatile for both indoor and outdoor tasks. For example, with our Home Master DIY scaffold tower, you can use it partly erect - which would suit indoor DIY like decorating rooms or ceilings - or you can fully erect it for outdoor use, such as painting your house and gardening.

Let’s begin with the basic EN 1004 mobile access tower – a straightforward but versatile piece of access equipment. By definition, an EN 1004 mobile access tower is a freestanding, single bay structure with four legs and wheels (so that it’s mobile). It has only one working platform at a time and can reach a maximum platform height of 8m outdoors and 12m indoors. They’re generally made of aluminium or GRP (fibreglass). Steel scaffold towers can also be used in very confined spaces such as stairwells. With adjustable feet, they be levelled easily on steps. Our steel scaffold towers are made in our UK workshop from top quality British Steel. We also have a wide range of scaffolding tower components and accessories

It replaced EN 1004:2004, the previous version, which was then withdrawn in November 2021. The -1 in the number means part 1. Extra care must be taken when exiting the ladder and climbing onto the steel tower.
