Single Width Scaffold Towers

Single Width Scaffold Towers for Tight Access

Hallways, stairwells, side passages and anywhere a full-size tower won't fit: that's single width territory. At roughly 0.7m-0.8m wide, these aluminium towers fit through standard doorways and down narrow paths while still giving you a proper guarded platform to work from.

Pick your tower by platform height. The rule of thumb is that your working height is about 2m above the platform, so a 3m platform lets you work at around 5m. All towers here are aluminium, built to AS/NZS 1576 with guardrails and stabilisers as listed on each product page. If you need more deck space or serious height, a double width tower is the better tool. For quick low-level jobs the foldable towers are faster to set up.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the maximum height of a single width scaffold tower?
Most single width aluminium towers top out around a 4m-5m platform height. Past that point a double width tower is the right call: the wider base gives you the stability and deck space to work comfortably at height. Each product page lists the exact platform and working heights.
How wide is a single width scaffold tower?
Around 0.7m-0.8m, which is the reason they exist: they fit through standard doorways, down side passages and along narrow verandahs where a 1.3m double width frame simply won't go.
What platform height do I need?
Take the height you need to work at and subtract about 2m: that's your platform height. Working on a 5m gutter line means a platform around 3m. If you're between sizes, go the taller platform rather than overreaching.
Do I need a licence to put one up?
In most states no licence is needed while the platform is under 4m. Over 4m, erection must be done by a licensed scaffolder. State rules differ slightly, so check your local regulator if you're working near that height.
Single width or double width, which should I buy?
Single width wins on access, weight and price. Double width wins on deck space, stability at height and comfort on long jobs. If you're mostly indoors or in tight access, go single; if you're rendering, bricklaying or spending full days up there, go double width.
