Mobile access towers

Mobile towers, also known as mobile access towers or rolling scaffolds, are mobile access towers specially designed for use on construction sites, renovation projects and other situations where safe working at height is essential.

What are mobile access towers?

Mobile access towers are mobile scaffolds, which can be used flexibly thanks to their many configuration options. Wixor’s mobile access towers are designed for professional use. The scaffolds are made of high-quality aluminium, with a wall thickness of 2 mm, making them lightweight and therefore easy to move. The scaffolding’s welded seams ensure guaranteed quality. Mobile access towers provide a stable and safe working surface for work at different heights.  There are hooks on the sides of the platforms which are attached asymmetrically, allowing multiple platforms to be placed directly in line with each other. multiple scaffolds can also be coupled together, creating a larger working surface. Mobile towers can be erected indoors to a maximum working height of 14 metres and outdoors to a maximum working height of 10 metres.

One of the biggest advantages of mobile access towers is their mobility. Thanks to the wheels, they can be easily moved from one place to another. The flexibility of the mobile access towers makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, from painting and maintenance to construction work. Rolling towers are also designed with safety in mind and offer a stable working surface with ample space. The scaffold platforms are fitted with anti-slip material. Front railings and edge boards are also provided to prevent fall hazards. Moreover, the mobile towers comply with EN1004 standards and are TÜV certified.

Mobile access towers are relatively easy to assemble and dismantle. Wixor’s scaffolds can be assembled without additional tools. Thanks to their properties, mobile access towers are robust.

Applications of mobile scaffolding

Mobile access towers are indispensable in various sectors. In the construction industry, mobile access towers are frequently used for various jobs, such as bricklaying, painting, and roof repairs. These scaffolds provide a safe and stable workplace for workers and make it possible to work at different heights. Wixor’s mobile scaffolds are suitable for both indoor and outdoor work. However, the maximum working height must be taken into account. Indoors, this is a maximum working height of 10 metres and outdoors, a maximum working height of 14 metres. Mobile towers are also an indispensable tool for maintenance work on buildings and infrastructure. They make it possible to work on, for example, facades, windows and lighting. Mobile access towers are also used in the event industry for erecting stages, lighting and decorations. The mobility of scaffolding makes it easy to make quick adjustments during the construction phase.

A variety of mobile access towers are available, each with their own specific uses and advantages. Narrow access towers are ideal for use in tight spaces and indoors. These scaffolds are compact and easy to manoeuvre, making them perfect for work in corridors, stairwells and other confined spaces. Wide mobile access towers offer more working space and stability, making them suitable for larger projects. These mobile access towers have a wider longer platform, offering more room to work.

Assembling mobile scaffolding

When assembling a mobile scaffold, the first thing to do is to look for a workplace with a stable and level surface. Next, you can start building the base of the scaffold. You start with the frames, under which you mount the wheels. Next, you can place a platform between the frames and attach the braces, which provide strength to the mobile scaffold. You repeat these steps until you reach the top, at the desired working height. It is important to fit the work platform with safety guardrails and toeboards. This will prevent materials or tools from falling off the platform.

Maintenance and inspections

Regular maintenance and inspection of scaffolding is important. By cleaning the scaffold after use, moving parts are less likely to be damaged or jammed. It is important to inspect all parts, such as wheels, braces and platforms, for wear, rust or other damage. Worn or damaged parts should be replaced to avoid accidents.

Purchasing a mobile scaffold

When choosing a mobile access tower, it is important to consider several factors. Firstly, the maximum working height required for a specific project should be considered. This should also take into account the legal maximum working height for indoors and outdoors. Care should be taken to ensure that the scaffolding is high enough for the work to be carried out. Secondly, the maximum load capacity of the scaffold should be checked to ensure that it is suitable for the expected load. Take the weight of workers into account. The load capacity is usually 750kg. Finally, it is important to look at the material of the mobile scaffold tower and the necessary accessories. Wixor mobile access towers are made of high-quality aluminium, which is also rustproof. The scaffolds should have safety guardrails, guardrail frames, toeboards and platforms. While price is an important factor when buying a rolling scaffold, it is also very important to pay attention to quality and safety.

Conclusion

Mobile access towers, also known as scaffolding or rolling scaffold, are essential tools for working safely and efficiently at height. These scaffolds offer numerous advantages, including mobility, flexibility and safety. Choosing the right rolling scaffold and purchasing the necessary safety equipment to go with it makes it easy to carry out work at height. Wixor’s mobile access towers are made for professional use and comply with EN1004 standards, as well as being TÜV certified. In short, the rolling scaffold is the ideal tool for working at height in various sectors, including the construction industry.
