Looking to buy aluminium scaffolding? Here’s what to know.
An aluminium scaffold tower is a lightweight structure designed for safe work at height. Thanks to its low weight, aluminium scaffolding is easy to move and quick to assemble. You can use aluminium mobile scaffold towers for tasks such as painting, façade maintenance, or jobs around dormer windows. Both professionals and DIY users frequently make use of these towers, including special stairwell scaffold towers for level differences or indoor work.
The advantages of aluminium scaffold towers
Aluminium scaffold towers are popular due to their lightweight properties, rust resistance, and easy assembly. They offer more convenience compared to timber scaffolds, which are heavier and require more maintenance. In comparison to steel scaffolding, which tends to rust faster, aluminium alternatives score higher in terms of durability. This makes them an ideal choice for long-term and safe use, both indoors and outdoors.
What types of aluminium scaffolding does Custers offers
- Mobile scaffold tower: versatile and easy to manoeuvre
- Façade scaffold tower: ideal for external wall work and painting tasks
- Dormer scaffold and roof scaffold: safe for working on rooftops and around dormers
- Stairwell scaffold tower: specifically designed for staircases and varying height levels
- Stair access tower: allows for secure vertical access at height
- Folding scaffold tower: compact solution for quick setups on smaller projects
- Bridging platforms / walkways: safe connections between scaffold towers or platforms
How to choose the right scaffold tower for your project?
When choosing the right mobile scaffold tower, consider the working height, platform dimensions, and location of your project. For painting or façade work, a façade scaffold or window scaffold is suitable. If you’re working indoors on a staircase, a stairwell scaffold is necessary. For work around roofs or dormers, opt for a dormer scaffold or roof scaffold tower with specific height and stability
What are safe assembly methods?
Custers uses safe assembly methods such as Safe Guard and Mobile Guard to ensure safety during the erection and dismantling of aluminium scaffold towers. With these systems, guardrails are installed before stepping onto the next platform. This greatly reduces fall risk — especially important for domestic users who may have less experience with scaffold construction.
Which scaffold components are essential for safe work at height?
Key scaffold components include stabilisers, guardrails, toe boards, and locking castors. Stabilisers ensure the aluminium mobile scaffold remains steady and secure, while guardrails and toe boards help prevent accidental falls. In addition, locking castors are crucial to prevent movement during use.
What is the difference between a façade scaffold and a dormer scaffold?
When should you choose a façade scaffold?
A façade scaffold is typically used for safe maintenance or renovation work on external walls. These towers are wide and suited for various working heights — ideal for painting or installing façade insulation.
In which situations is a dormer scaffold the best choice?
A dormer scaffold is specifically developed for work around dormer windows or pitched roofs. Thanks to customised parts and stable platforms, this scaffold tower offers optimal safety and access on sloped surfaces.
How do you maintain aluminium scaffold towers?
To keep aluminium scaffold towers in good condition and extend their lifespan, clean and maintain them regularly and inspect for damage. Remove dirt or concrete residues to avoid corrosion. Lubricate wheels and moving parts periodically. Store all components in a dry place and ensure safe storage to prevent warping or damage.
Why does Custers meet scaffolding regulations and certifications?
Custers complies with strict regulations and certifications to guarantee the safety and reliability of its aluminium scaffold towers. This includes legal standards such as the EN 1004 regulation for mobile towers. Through regular independent testing and inspections, customers can trust that products such as façade scaffolds, dormer scaffold towers, and stair towers meet the highest UK safety standards — providing assurance and reducing the risk of accidents while working at height.
