Aluminium Scaffold Tower

APAC aluminum scaffold towers, called 3T Industrial Scaffold Towers, are manufactured from Alloy 6061 T6 or Alloy 6063 T6 materials. They strictly conform to European standard EN 1004 and Australia/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1576. Our alloy scaffold towers fully comply with the latest EN 1004 (Class 3) industrial standard and conform entirely to the requirements of the 3T erection and dismantling method as set out by HSE (Health & Safety Executive) and PASMA.

Aluminium Scaffold Tower | The Ultimate FAQ Guide

Aluminum scaffold towers are highly demandable due to their lightweights. This gives them a high mobility advantage. Moreover, aluminum scaffold towers’ high durability and heavy-duty support make them a popular choice in the scaffolding marketplace. This FAQ content will guide you through some basic information and features about aluminum scaffold towers.

1. What Are Single-width And Double-width Aluminium Scaffold Towers?

The single-width aluminium scaffold towers are narrower compared to the double-width towers. Typically, they are 780 mm to 900 mm wide. There are space limitations in different areas like corridors, balconies or staircases, etc. In these areas with space constraints, you can support your workers with the single-width working platform. On the other hand, the double-width aluminium scaffold towers are wider. Generally, they are 1300 mm to 1500 mm wide. They have a larger base as well. This feature contributes higher stability to your scaffold tower. So, your worker will get a more spacious and convenient working platform to work at an elevated height. You can use the extra space to store the materials while working temporarily. The single-width and double-width aluminium scaffold towers are similar in terms of height. The typical aluminium scaffold towers have a height range of 9m to 14m with subsidiary variations.

2. Can You Use Aluminium Scaffold Towers At High Wind Speeds?

It is strictly restricted to continue work on aluminium scaffolding towers at very high wind speeds. The restriction is applicable for all kinds of scaffold towers, regardless of size, material, or type. If the wind speed exceeds designated levels, you must remove all the workers and any kinds of materials temporarily being stored from all working platforms. This is to conform to the safety precautions for your site. You have to follow the different standard set of precautions for scaffolding towers at different wind speeds. This table is summarized for your easy considerations.

Wind Speed (Km/hr)	Guidance
29	Cease all operations and using the aluminium scaffold tower.
50	Tie the aluminium scaffold tower to a rigid structure.
74	Dismantle the aluminium scaffold tower.

3. What Are The Differences Between The Aluminium Scaffold Towers And The Traditional Scaffoldings?

The differences between the aluminum scaffold towers and traditional scaffoldings are:

Points Of Difference	Aluminum Scaffold Towers	Traditional Scaffold Towers
Manufacturing Material	Manufactured from aluminum or aluminum alloys	Manufactured from other types of metals
Weight To Body Ratio	Lighter weight to body ratio	Heavier weight to body ratio
Dead Load Consideration	Due to lightweights, you can avoid excess dead load for the total load calculation	Due to heavier material, you have to consider excess dead load for the total load calculation
Maintenance	Requires less maintenance	Requires more maintenance
Corrosion Resistance	More resistant to corrosion	Less resistant to corrosion
Erection Efficiency	Requires less labor to erect	Requires more labor to erect
Assembling And Dismantling Time	Can assemble and dismantle very quickly	Need more time to assemble and dismantle
Interior Usage	More efficient to set up at interior spaces	Less efficient for interior usage due to heavier weight
Cost-effectiveness	Offers more cost-effectiveness in long-term considerations.	Less cost-effective over a long-term usage

4. How Many Workers Can Simultaneously Work On An Aluminium Scaffold Tower?

The safe working load (SWL) determines how many workers can simultaneously work on an aluminium scaffolding tower. There are different sizes of aluminium scaffold towers with variable capabilities. If you analyze the specifications provided by the manufacturer, you can find two SWLs mentioned. These are SWL per platform, and SWL per tower. The SWL or safe working load expresses the safe weight-bearing capacity. It indicates the maximum weight each platform or tower can safely carry at a time. Divide this value with the average weight of a normal human being. The calculated value will let you determine how many workers can simultaneously work on each platform or tower.

5. Are The Aluminium Scaffold Towers Mobile?

Figure 4 - Lightweight Components Combined With Castor Wheels Provide Excellent Mobility Feature For Aluminium Scaffold Towers — Figure 4 – Lightweight Components Combined With Castor Wheels Provide Excellent Mobility Feature For Aluminium Scaffold Towers

You can make your aluminium scaffold towers portable by installing castor wheels at the lower base. Since the aluminium scaffold towers are very light, you can easily reposition them by rolling over a flat surface. Before repositioning the tower, remove all kinds of weight from all the platforms. Dismantle the stabilizers and safety ties, followed by unlocking the safety lever in the castor wheel. Once you have repositioned the tower, lock the safety lever to cease the rolling scope.
