BPS Access Solutions DIY Scaffold Tower - Home Master Aluminium Towers - Quick Assembly (7m Home Master DIY Scaffold Tower)

I bought this 6 months ago and only just decided to construct it, I thought it might be a bit of a long job, but how wrong was I. First time it took me about 30 minutes with no tools required to put together. Everything screws together with large wingnut fasteners, the system works very well and pulls the components together filling you with confidence. Given that I will be suspended up to 5m in the air I was worried about the stability and safety, but the concerns were unfounded its very stable and I feel very safe on it at height. Now I know how it all goes together I think I could break it down to the components in about 10-15 minutes and probably 15 mins to construct again. You could probably fit it all into a very large car (longest part was just over 2M) would certainly fit in a Van. It came very well packed in weather proof plastic, the instructions are also weatherproof and very clear to follow. The trap door at the top is a bit of a squeeze, if you were the 150kg top weight allowed you might struggle a bit. I bought the system with 2 outriggers, but decided to add two more as my garden slopes a bit, I also added some telescopic legs to account for the slight slope. Overall this is a very solid well thought out product, I would highly recommend it

First thing... Its a 5m tower but that's where your hand is going reach up to be when standing on the top. This is a common ploy by all the tower seller so beware what you are buying. For most houses you will need a 6 or 7 metres tower to reach the eaves easily but when buying towers over 5m, you really need stronger construction and the price rises dramatically for that. I also bought a pair of side stabilisers which was a good decision. the main aluminum ladder frames at either end are fine but not very heavily built. the stabilising bars are the main issue i have. they are made of steel thats a bit too thin. Supposedly you use two of them as safety rails but i suspect if you fell against them they would instantly bend and youd fall down. Also the platform has a trap door thats great, because trying to climb up the outside would probably make the lightweight tower flip over, but without a stay for the trap door, you have to be sure you dont drop it on your fingers and head. I found the only way to safely climb up was to put a 6 foot ladder inside the tower at an angle and then climb up the aluminum sides till i could step back onto the top surface. When in use, it doesn't feel amazingly safe as it wobbles, but probably is apart from those thin safety rails. Certainly far safer than a ladder for high tasks like painting. I am glad I used the side stabilisers, which are made of far thicker and heavier aluminium and steel than the main tower. It made the thing feel less wobbly and you can fold them in if you move the tower. the instructions say not to leave the top platform in the rain, but you would have to dismantle it to get it down every day then. Perhaps a better quality coating on the platform would do away with the need for this. If you left this outside for any time, the steel nuts and bolts will rust and the platform is likely to delaminate. I wouldn't dare go up it with someone else, its for one person only whatever the blurb says, though having a roomy 6 x 2 foot platform makes working at height much easier. The main frame is joined with big plastic handles with captive large nuts. there seemed to be a pair extra shipped which is helpful. You CAN get it in a car but only when fully disassembled. Don't be tempted to leave a bit off before using it. It relies on ALL the bits being in place to give it enough strength! IN summary, these things are built down to a price but are essentially safe if used on firm ground AND for the 5m ones, use with a pair of stabilisers. If you have an uneven surface, pay more for a steel scaffold and add adjustable height castors. If your using it more than a few weeks, buy traditional steel!

Einfacher Aufbau, zur Not auch alleine.

Lieferung dauerte etwas länger

War erst etwas skeptisch aufgrund des doch geringes Preises. Benötigte das Gerüst zur Erneuerung des Fassadenanstriches (obwohl es dafür gar nicht eingesetzt werden soll... nur einfache Reparaturarbeiten laut Anleitung). Habe trotzdem meine 80qm² Hauswand saniert. Das Gerüst ist einfach aufzubauen, dies geht auch ohne 2. Person wenn man fit ist. Das Gerüst ist stabil, das Material sehr wertig und wenn man die Regeln beachtet zur Belastung und Standsicherheit, eine tolle Möglichkeit sicher auf eine Höhe zu kommen wo man mit Leitern nicht mehr arbeiten kann oder will. Noch als Hinweis. Durch die Spedition wurde ein Alurohr der Seitenteile leicht eingedrückt. Der Kundendienst hat hier hervorragend reagiert und probremlos ein komplettes Seitenteil kurzfristig angeliefert, feine Sache.
