Scaffold/access towers - follow-up
I ordered a tower last Friday, from he
http://www.ladders-999.co.uk/towers_domestic.htm £260 for 12'6" platform, 2 outrigger stabilisers, and adjustable feet for all 4 legs. A real bargain. It arrived Tuesday, and I was soon unwrapping it and assembling it. Basic but well worth the price. It is a bit unsteady until both cross bars have been fitted, then with the outriggers fitted, and levelled up, it was very stable. There were 2 slightly tight sections, but otherwise it slotted together without a fault. I bought 5 5' scaffold boards from a local supplier - £18, and screwed in sections of 3x2 wood on the bottom to stop them moving about when placed on the platform. I didnt need the extra 2'6" section to get good access to the guttering, but with that fitted, it gives a better protection against falling over the edge! If you are in the market for one, I dont think you can get better for occasional use. Alan. -- To reply by e-mail, change the ' + ' to 'plus'. |
