Yes. Scaffold towers include an internal access system that allows users to climb safely to the platform. There’s no need to hire a separate ladder.

Working height is the maximum height you can safely reach while standing on the platform at an average arms length. It includes your vertical reach above the platform level, not just the physical tower height. This measurement helps ensure you choose a tower that allows safe overhead access.

Scaffold towers are available with different platform lengths to suit the job. Shorter platforms are easier to position in restricted areas, while longer platforms provide extra working space for materials and equipment. At Multi Access Hire, our scaffold tower hire size options include 1.8m and 2.5m.

Standard width towers offer more working space, making them ideal for larger tasks and multiple tools. Narrow towers are designed for tight access areas such as hallways, alleyways, or confined workspaces where manoeuvrability is more important than platform width.

Assembly time varies depending on the tower size and the experience of the installers. Smaller towers can be erected quickly, while larger systems naturally take longer. Trained users typically complete setup within a short time using the correct method and equipment.

Some lightweight scaffold tower for hire are designed for single-person assembly, such as the MiTower. Larger towers, like the Eiger 250 usually require two people to build safely and efficiently. Always follow the manufacturer’s assembly guide and never attempt to erect a tower beyond your level of experience.

Formal training, such as PASMA certification, is strongly recommended, especially for professional or trade users. If you’re not trained, the tower should only be assembled and used under the supervision of someone who is competent. Safe assembly and inspection are essential to prevent accidents.

Yes — the scaffold towers for hire at Multi Access Hire are suitable for outdoor use. However, towers should never be used in strong winds, storms, or other unsafe weather conditions. Depending on the height, outdoor use may require additional safety measures, such as scaffold ties to fix it to a building.

The correct scaffold tower hire height depends on the area you need to reach. A good rule is that you should be able to work comfortably without leaning or stretching beyond the guardrails. Choosing a tower that’s too short encourages unsafe overreaching, while a tower that’s too tall may be harder to position, unless you don’t assemble it as high. If you’re unsure, our team can help you select the safest option for your job. Give us a call.
