Frequently Asked Questions
What height mobile scaffold do I need?
Take the height you need to work at and subtract about 2m: that's the platform height to buy. Working at 4m means a 2m platform. If you're between sizes, size up rather than working on your toes off the top deck.
Do I need a licence to erect a mobile scaffold?
In most states, no licence is required while the platform height stays under 4m. Above 4m it legally needs a licensed scaffolder. Requirements vary slightly by state, so check your local regulator for work near that limit.
Should I buy single width or double width?
Single width for tight access, indoor work and smaller budgets. Double width for deck space, stability at height and long days on the platform. If the tower is living on one job site, double width is usually worth it; if it travels in the ute every day, single width or a foldable is easier to live with.
Do you sell mobile scaffold parts and accessories?
Yes. Castors, horizontal braces, deck panels, guardrail frames and outriggers are all available individually under
scaffold accessories and components, so you can extend a tower or replace a worn part without buying a new kit.
Are your scaffold towers compliant with Australian standards?
The towers are designed and rated to AS/NZS 1576, with the specific certification and safe working load listed in the specifications on each product page. If you need a compliance document for a site, call us and we'll get it to you.
How much is delivery on a scaffold tower?
Scaffold is bulky freight, so the price depends on where you are: enter your postcode at checkout and the exact cost shows before you pay anything. We can sometimes get a better freight price than the one shown at checkout, so call us on
