What influences the height of a mobile scaffolding tower?

Mobile scaffolding towers are in high demand for several reasons.

1. Easy and simple assembly and disassembly

You can assemble and use the scaffolding tower as needed without additional permits or contracts.

2. Wide range of applications

Compared to scaffolding, a scaffolding tower can be used for a wider range of purposes, tasks, and locations.

3. Affordable cost

Companies will spend significantly less by purchasing a mobile scaffolding tower instead of expensive scaffolding.

How tall can a mobile scaffolding tower be?

Virastar steel scaffolding towers, manufactured in Ukraine, can be built up to 21 meters. The height of a scaffolding tower is directly determined by its intended purpose. For example, a scaffolding tower used for painting can be up to 3 meters high, while a mobile scaffolding tower used in construction is much higher.

What determines the height of a scaffolding tower?

• Verticality of the structure

If the scaffolding tower is installed outside of a building, pay attention to its vertical position. Jacks and stabilizers are used to level the scaffolding tower. These components are available for purchase on our website.

• Wind Strength

The scaffolding tower cannot be used in all weather conditions.

Strong winds exceeding 18 m/s can cause the scaffolding tower to tip over. Therefore, tall structures should not be used in strong winds, as specified in the product data sheet.

• Load

Erecting high access devices or overloading them is prohibited. For example, the permitted load for the 2-meter-high VIRASTAR MINI M1 is 200 kg/m², while the permitted platform weight for the 4-meter-high VIRASTAR MINI M3 is 100 kg/m².

Reliable steel VIRASTAR scaffolding towers are designed for professional use. They are manufactured using 1.5 mm thick steel pipes, ensuring strength and reliability.
