Hi

I need a 20' high access tower with maximum 31" front to back
footprint, and perferably adjustable legs as it'll be used on very
uneven ground. It needs to be as cheap as possible. It will be bolted
to a building, so doesnt need outriggers or great rigidity. The job
won't run to a £1,000 tower, or even close, and in this case I can't
make my own with wood. Googling previously didnt get me anything small
enough or cheap enough. What and where could I use?

PS a ladder would be unworkable, a cherry picker won't fit, most
things won't fit, and custom scaffolding would be a problem as it
needs to be removed after work each day. Not asking much am I!

Hiring a good quality access tower isn't that expensive. Even HSS
isn't that pricey as they have to compete against builders merchants.

I see they have one that would be ideal if it werent for the fixed
height legs, their alloy 85cm towers. I dont know if that oculd be
overcome in a compliant way. Thanks.

...if it werent for the fixed

Many suppliers have a variety of "bits" if asked - screw-leg jacks are
common.

if you can find one to buy of the right spec, don;t forget to factor
in the resale value - so it wouldn;t necess be a £1000 final cost....

Probably more than you want to pay, but I've got one of these:

ffold_tower_7_2m.html

It doesn't say so, but it's a Speedy 80 Tower and sold by various other
places.

However the one above comes with bits you don't need such as the
stabilisers. But you can by just the bits you need, so could get the
price down a bit.

On the plus side. It will just about fit you size criterion I think (a
quick measure outside gives me 30 inches. It is pretty quick and easy to
put up and has adjustable feet (pin through holes, rather than screw,
but it seems to be sufficient.
