The use of access towers is a popular sight against the backdrop of many buildings and structures.These scaffold towers and support structures are elevated platforms that allow materials, tools and people access to the fronts of buildings or internally within a site where ladders are too inadequate for the purpose.These towers can be mobile, but are not fixed by any means, providing a temporary solution to provide work areas that allow tradesmen to carry out services on somewhat higher levels within buildings and structures.Types of maintenance are perhaps the most common forms of activity that requires towers, which can cover anything from window cleaning, painting, electricians, roofers to actual construction itself.Like any large temporary or permanent structure, stability will decrease as the height increases, so it is fundamental that these scaffold towers are robust, durable, stable and above all safe.The quality of components is vital but there are also other qualities that tower components must critically have.Having a non-corrosive built structure is essential and aluminium built towers are proving increasingly popular.Access towers are also installed a lot quicker and easier to position than more traditional forms of scaffolding, meaning downtime during construction, maintenance or processing is often limited and reduced.Access towers are even available for domestic dwelling and home use coming in heights of around 5 metres.Scaffolding has seen a number of accidents over the years but the installation and assembly of access towers has started to see a beneficial impact and rising safety standards.The quality of the components has also driven up the safety record in scaffolding activities.Traditionally scaffolding was used to provide those with the access to areas that are largely considered inaccessible.Ladders were also a readily used and available tool for tradesmen, but whilst easy to position, they did not provide the potential to carry tools, machinery or generally any form of heavy materials or goods and the stability of a secure level area to work from.Access towers usually have the ability to be mobile.Unlike traditional semi-permanent scaffolding, these scaffold towers provide access along a site or within a building and can be repositioned and securely locked in an instant.For this reason access towers are a popular sight at warehouses and storage sites where goods and materials need to be taken from various areas.This can be quickly achieved with the aid of mobile access towers.
