So, you've purchased your very own scaffold tower - but what comes next? You may already have a project in mind, but if not, you might need some inspiration.
A scaffold tower is an excellent piece of equipment to own, providing stable height access for all of your domestic or commercial needs. Here are some projects for which a scaffold tower might prove more suitable than a normal ladder...
1. Ceiling Decoration
Scaffold towers are brilliant for working on high ceilings, affording you more working space and greater stability than a standard ladder.
Decorating a ceiling can be quite tedious when using a ladder because you'll have to move it around frequently in order to cover the whole thing. This isn't an issue with a scaffold tower, so you'll be able to cover the whole of your ceiling with minimal manoeuvring.
2. Guttering
Do your gutters need a bit of a clean? If so, a normal ladder may not be the best tool for the job.
Cleaning your guttering can take quite a while, and if you're carrying out a residential gutter installation, it might take anywhere from 1 to 4 hours to complete. This is where a scaffold tower will come in handy - it's best to use a scaffold tower for any project where you will be working at height for an extended period of time.
Some scaffold towers are even large enough to accommodate two workers at once, cutting the project time in half!
3. Window Repairs
A window repair can involve a lot of tools, and a lot of time. You can use your scaffold tower for extra comfort whilst working at height, plus you'll have plenty of space to store your tools as you work.
This is something that you cannot do with a standard ladder, unless you wear a tool belt (which may be a bit uncomfortable). Scaffold towers are robust enough to hold you and your tools - so take advantage of this when you can!
4. Rendering & Plastering
Whether you're rendering (coating external walls) or plastering (coating interior walls), a scaffold tower will help you to get the job done efficiently.
Scaffold towers have the ability to extend to great heights, making the coating of interior and exterior walls a swift and painless task. Similar to using a tower for decorating ceilings, you won't have to worry about moving your equipment around when working at height for extended periods of time.
