Aluminium Scaffolding Towers: Lightweight and Durable Solutions for Construction
For rapid, reliable access where portability and corrosion resistance matter most, Avanza Steel’s Aluminium Scaffolding Towers deliver an unbeatable combination of light weight, modular flexibility, and professional-grade safety. Built from precision-extruded aluminium profiles, these towers assemble in minutes, extend up to 8 m, and roll smoothly on lockable castors—perfect for interior fit-outs, maintenance tasks, and environments where steel towers are impractical.
What Is an Aluminium Scaffolding Tower?
An aluminium tower is a mobile working platform constructed entirely from high-strength aluminum components—vertical uprights, horizontal braces, deck frames, and guardrails—mounted on lockable wheels. Unlike steel towers, aluminium units weigh up to 40 % less, offering single-person portability without sacrificing load capacity or stability.
Top Advantages:
-
Lightweight & Portable: Individual sections weigh under 15 kg; one person can reposition a fully assembled tower on its castors.
-
Corrosion-Free: Naturally oxide-forming aluminium resists rust in damp or corrosive environments (swimming pools, food plants).
-
Modular Height: Stackable in 0.7 m increments from 1.4 m to 8 m maximum working height.
-
Safety Certified: Engineered to EN 1004 and OSHA 1926.452 standards, with integrated toe-boards, guardrails, and non-slip decks.

Applications & Use Cases
-
Interior Fit-Out & Painting
Lightweight towers enable swift movement between work zones in offices, retail outlets, and warehouses without floor damage.
-
Pool & Wet-Process Maintenance
Aluminium’s corrosion resistance is ideal for indoor pools, food processing plants, and chemical environments where steel fails.
-
Electrical & HVAC Installations
Plank-width decks and guardrails provide safe, stable platforms for cable tray fitting, ductwork, and high-level equipment servicing.
-
Event & Exhibition Setup
Rapid assembly and dismantle make aluminium towers perfect for trade shows, galleries, and movie sets where time is critical.
Installation & Best Practices
-
Site Inspection
-
Ensure a firm, level surface; use timber soleboards under castors on soft floors.
-
-
Base Module Setup
-
Lock all four castors; fit braces between uprights at base height.
-
-
Deck Installation
-
Clip the aluminum deck frame into place; secure plywood or mesh insert.
-
-
Guardrail & Toeboard Fitting
-
Snap in handrails on all sides; attach toeboards with spring clips to prevent material drop.
-
-
Adding Height
-
Unlock deck frames; slide on next set of uprights and braces in 0.7 m increments; repeat deck and guardrail steps until desired working height.
-
Maintenance & Lifecycle
-
Daily Pre-Use Check: Verify wheel brakes, brace couplers, and guardrail clips engage fully.
-
Monthly Thorough Inspection: Inspect extrusions for dents or cracks; check fasteners for corrosion (unlikely) and tightness.
-
Cleaning: Wipe aluminium with mild detergent and water; avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch anodized surface.
-
Storage: Collapse to base module; store indoors to prevent accidental damage and ensure long service life.
