What can be the maximum height of the tour tower?

A scaffolding tower is a mobile mini-scaffolding that has the stability of scaffolding and the mobility of scaffolding. Scouting towers are an alternative solution for access to heights when other structures are not suitable.

Scaffolding is often used for large, large-scale construction projects. These structures have wide working platforms on which you can walk along the entire facade of the building, while significant mobility is available.

However, you should understand that scaffolding takes a long time to assemble; at large construction sites, assembly of the structure can take several days.

A scaffolding tower is a reduced-size mobile scaffolding, but unlike a large-sized prototype, it can be assembled in half an hour.

Of course, the area of a scaffolding tower is small:

• 2x2 m;
• 1.35x2 m;
• 1.2x2 m.

But the small area is compensated by mobility. Even if the entire site is not covered by a web of scaffolding, access to the height can be provided by one scaffolding tower or several scaffolding towers, if work is being carried out simultaneously in several places on the construction site.

From the bottom of the scaffolding tower, intermediate sections with diagonals and horizontals rise upward, which are designed to fasten the scaffolding tower into a single integral structure.

The scaffolding tower ends with a working platform with high railings, which must be present for the safety of workers. You should climb to the working platform along the crossbars of the frame ladders. Since there is a hatch in the decking, the ascent to the platform is carried out along the inner side of the scaffolding tower.

What is the maximum height of the scaffolding tower?

Virastar scaffolding towers can be extended with intermediate sections to the height you need. The maximum height of the VIRASTAR OPTIMA scaffolding tower is 20.7 m. The same value is provided for PROFI scaffolding towers. For scaffold towers higher than 4+1, it is mandatory to strengthen the structure with stabilizers.

In no case should scaffold towers be erected without permission to a height exceeding the maximum value specified in the technical documentation. This is dangerous and poses a threat to the health and lives of people both on the scaffold tower itself and those below.

We will help you determine the appropriate height of the scaffold tower for your project.

You can ask us any questions you may have regarding the scaffold tower assembly if the working height has already been calculated.
