Towers on Stairways for Users - Working at height over stairs made simple
Stepped towers, stairway access towers, towers on stairs… they’ve got many names but they all do the same thing and there’s no prize for guessing what it is. Of course, it’s a tower designed to be used on a stairway, a spot where access is often tricky. In fact, they can be used in other places where the ends of the tower will be at different heights too.
Towers are often used on stairways for painting and decorating, maintenance and repair, overhead installations and a whole lot more, meaning this course will appeal to a wide audience.
