This tower is the ultimate high quality versatile DIY access tower system. Use with complete confidence for a multitude of domestic maintenance or decorating applications. & it's extremely useful in the garden, too, especially if you're cutting & trimming hedges & shrubs. Many of our competitors towers use locking pins but they can be awkward to operate & inconvenient (there are two locking pins per frame making it longer to erect & dismantle), some need a spanner & they are prone to seizing up due to corrosion. The swage fitting on this tower make it quicker to erect & dismantle because there's no need for any tools & there's nothing to seize up due to corrosion. Important Note! This Tower is only for DIY use only & should not be used in a commercial environment or on site as it DOES NOT COMPLY with Current Industrial Working at Height Safety Regulations (EN1004).
