"DOMESTIC" STEEL SCAFFOLD TOWERS

DomLow2.jpg (36380 bytes)    Domestic Towers 4'x2' are great on the STAIRS! domtwr2F.jpg (19039 bytes)
   

  • Full 5 year UNCONDITIONAL guarantee.
  • PRIME quality steel (not scrap steel as in most low-cost towers).
  • 32mm / 1¼” diameter tube x 16 gauge thickness in all vertical column tubes.
  • Dark red Dip-Painted finish.
  • Wide range of optional accessories including castors, adjustable bases, stabilisers etc.
  • Full range of frames gives tower base size options -
    4’x4’ ( the most popular ); 6’x4’ ; 4’x2’ ; 6’x2’.
  • Erection instructions & safety notes supplied with every tower.
  • Easy to transport & store - when dismantled, a 12’6” platform height (18’6” working height ) Domestic Tower 4’x4’ complete with platform boards will fit comfortably into an average family hatch-back car (e.g. Vectra) when the rear seats are folded down !

 

Domestic Towers are designed for occasional DIY use and combine high quality with a very affordable price. Although very low-cost they are not at “rock-bottom” prices because Domestic Towers are manufactured by skilled engineers from prime quality steel - not “knocked-up” in some back shed or farmyard from scrap steel. It may sound ridiculous but many really are !!

Domestic Towers need no tools and no special skill to erect. They are wonderfully versatile and give greater safety than ladders for outdoor house maintenance, indoor painting (including stairwells), hedge trimming, tree pruning etc. They also provide excellent climbing frames for the children when erected sideways rather than vertically.

The addition of castors will make them mobile and adjustable bases will overcome most uneven or sloping ground. Stabilisers (outriggers) are also available to make them safe at heights over 12’6” platform level.

IDEAL FOR GENERAL HOME MAINTENANCE
Domestic Tower 4’ x 4’ base size. Safe & easy. Shown here is a 10ft platform height tower (DM44/10) which gives comfortable reach to a standard 16ft gutter. Fitting castors as here makes the platform height 6" higher.

 IDEAL FOR HEDGE TRIMMING
Domestic Towers are ideal for tall hedge trimming - much safer than a pair of steps.  Here a 5ft platform height tower 4'x4' (DM44/6) with boards & adjustable bases gives a safe and stable platform from which hedges can be reached up to about 11ft high.

IDEAL IN STAIRWELLS
Domestic Towers can be converted into scaffolds to provide safe access in most stairwells. Much safer than flimsy steps and scaffold boards!

TYPICAL STAIRWELL KIT  -  2 x 4' Frames ; 3 x 2' Frames ; 1 x Diagonal Brace (4x2) ; 2 x Platform Boards ; 2 x Base Plates ; 2 x Adjustable Bases.  Variations to this typical version will often be necessary because stair dimensions vary so widely.

DecorkitB.gif (5058 bytes)

DECORATORS KIT  - just a few tower components can make a really useful platform for internal decoration. Typical components - 2 x 4' Frames ; 2 x 2' Frames ; 1 x Diagonal Brace (4x2) ; 2 x Platform Boards ; 4 x Castors ( or Base Plates ).

CANTILEVERS  -  Cantilevers can be constructed to overcome many awkward situations such as dormer windows, lean-to buildings etc.

CASTORS  -  Castors make a tower easier to move on firm level surfaces. A thumbscrew secures castors to tower upright. A footpad or second thumbscrew brakes the wheel and also locks the ball-race to prevent swivelling whilst braked. Castors will add 6" to tower platform heights.

ADJUSTABLE BASES & CASTORS  -  The screw thread gives 6" of height adjustment so that towers can be safely levelled when erected on uneven or sloping ground. Thumbscrew locks adjuster to tower upright. If erected on sloping ground great care should be taken when using adjustable castors - ensure the tower cannot roll away when brakes are released!  Adjustable Castors will add 8" to tower platform heights.

STABILISERS (OUTRIGGERS)  -  Stabilisers couple to the corners of a tower to increase the base dimensions and make the tower safe at greater heights. Domestic Tower stabilisers are fitted with scaffold type couplers and require a spanner for tightening.  Detailed notes on their use are on the "Components" page - click here.

PLATFORM BOARDS  -  These are not included in tower kits. They are available from Lansford but specifications are provided - click here - for customers who wish to make their own boards. Standard scaffold boards cut to the required length are ideal for this purpose. Some customers choose to make even more elaborate platforms  including trapdoors - it is important to ensure your platform is at least as strong as our platform boards.

COMPACT STORAGE  -  Domestic Towers take up very little space when dismantled. Easy to store and easy to transport.  Most sizes of 4' x 4' tower plus platform boards  will fit easily in the rear of a family sized hatchback car with the rear seats folded down.  Here is a 12' 6" platform height tower 4'x4' in an A4 estate - loads of room to spare!
