Staffy scaffolds are manufactured from high diameter aluminium tubing making them more robust and durable than many cheap alternatives imported into NZ.

Choosing the correct scaffold

When choosing a scaffold tower it is important to take into account the height of the area you need to reach.

Scaffold towers are measured from the ground to the top of the handrails. When using a scaffold tower it in important to have handrails 1m above the platform.

Therefore it is important to determine the maximum height you need to reach to complete your project.

For example; you are wanting to paint an area of your house up to 6m high. For this you will need a 5m tower which has a maximum platform height of 4m plus 2m being the average reach of an adult allows you to reach up to 6m high.
