5m Mobile Scaffold Tower Hire — Double width, 2.5m Platform

Hire a 5m mobile scaffold tower in London from £129.99 a week, delivered free within 30km of our Cheshunt yard and collected at the end of your hire. 5.14m working height on the full-size working platform, 2.5m x 1.35m.

What a 5m tower is for

At 5.14m you are working at the eaves of a standard two-storey terrace or semi — first-floor windows, guttering, soffits and fascias. Inside, it covers stairwell ceilings, warehouse racking and high-bay lighting in a unit with a normal roof height.

• First-floor windows, gutters, fascias and soffits
• Two-storey exterior painting and rendering repair
• Stairwell and double-height interior ceilings
• Warehouse racking and high-bay lighting

Mostly hired by painters, builders, decorators.

Is 5.14m the right height for you?

You stand on the platform at 3.14m and work comfortably to about 5.1m — that reaches a single-storey extension roof and the head of a ground-floor window. Measure to the highest point you actually need to touch and take off roughly two metres; if the number you are left with is near 5.14, this is your tower. Working lower than that? The 4m version works to 4.14m, which reaches the gutter of a bungalow, a garage roof or a shopfront fascia. Need to go higher? The 6m version works to 6.14m, which reaches the gutter line of a standard two-storey house.

If you are between two heights, the height guide works through it, and how to choose a scaffold tower covers the rest of the decision.

Will it fit, and can you get it there?

2.5m x 1.35m gives two operatives room to work side by side with materials on the deck. This is the platform for external elevations, commercial sites and anything where you are up there for a full day.

At 1.35m wide it will not go through an internal doorway. It needs open ground for the base and the stabiliser spread — measure before you book if access is through a house or a narrow gate. The size guide covers measuring the narrowest point, the floor area including stabilisers, and the clear height you need while building.

Two to load, one to carry. 156.4kg across the full set. Two people to load and unload comfortably; individual frames and braces are a one-person carry. A standard transit takes it with room for tools.

What comes with the hire

Guardrails, toeboards and stabilisers included

Every hire ships complete. Guardrails and toeboards are part of the tower rather than an extra line on the invoice, and the stabilisers are sized for the height you booked. Nothing to add at checkout and nothing missing on delivery.

Guardrails are fitted from the level you are standing on, which is the normal method for mobile towers and is what PASMA training covers. If your site specifically requires the guardrail to be fitted from the platform below — usually written into a method statement as AGR — the AGR version of this tower does that, for £20 a week more.

Inspected before it leaves the yard

Frames, braces, platforms, guardrails, toeboards and castors are checked on every turnaround. Anything bent, cracked or worn comes out of service rather than going back on the shelf. See our safety and quality standards.

What the weekly price covers

The figure on this page is what you pay. Guardrails, toeboards, stabilisers and lockable castors come with the tower, not on the invoice — and there is no deposit and no card hold.

• Included: delivery and collection within 30km of our Cheshunt yard
• £45: delivery and collection beyond 30km — both legs, once per order
• Optional: installation and dismantling, if nobody on your team is PASMA trained
• VAT: included in the price shown, never added at checkout

The full line-by-line list — what is in the price and what is not — is in the hire terms.

How this tower goes up

Who may build it: under the Work at Height Regulations 2005 a tower must be assembled by someone competent to do it — in practice, PASMA trained on this type of tower. If nobody on your team holds that, add our optional installation service and we will build it on delivery and take it down at collection.

These are the manufacturer's own assembly diagrams for this configuration. The full guide comes with the tower.

Build sequence for the 5M: steps 1-2-6-3-5-4-10-12-13, following the numbered diagrams above.

Dismantling is the same sequence in reverse. The assembly guide explains the principle behind the order, and the PASMA guide covers the training.

The manufacturer's limits

From the assembly and use manual supplied with this tower — the manufacturer's figures, not our interpretation of them.

• Wind: stop work above 38 km/h (about 24 mph, Beaufort 6), and never try to move the tower in wind.
• Ground: level, flat and firm. On soft ground put base plates or U-profiles under the castors.
• Assembly: two people minimum, and both trained on this type of tower.
• Stabilisers: required at this height — out to full span before anyone climbs.

Certified to EN 1004. The full set of limits — loading, sheeting, inspection intervals and what the tower must never be used for — is on the safety guide.
