I bought this 6 months ago and only just decided to construct it, I thought it might be a bit of a long job, but how wrong was I. First time it took me about 30 minutes with no tools required to put together. Everything screws together with large wingnut fasteners, the system works very well and pulls the components together filling you with confidence. Given that I will be suspended up to 5m in the air I was worried about the stability and safety, but the concerns were unfounded its very stable and I feel very safe on it at height. Now I know how it all goes together I think I could break it down to the components in about 10-15 minutes and probably 15 mins to construct again. You could probably fit it all into a very large car (longest part was just over 2M) would certainly fit in a Van. It came very well packed in weather proof plastic, the instructions are also weatherproof and very clear to follow. The trap door at the top is a bit of a squeeze, if you were the 150kg top weight allowed you might struggle a bit. I bought the system with 2 outriggers, but decided to add two more as my garden slopes a bit, I also added some telescopic legs to account for the slight slope. Overall this is a very solid well thought out product, I would highly recommend it

I needed to reach the upper window of our property to make some repairs and initially was looking at ladders. After reading some of the reviews for the scaffold tower I decided that working from a platform would be easier. I bought the 6M kit to make sure I had enough height, and I honestly can't fault it. For what you pay it really is a good buy. It's lightweight and durable enough for diy enthusiasts and when it's unassembled it stores away quite nicely. As others have noted, the instructions aren't up to much, but with a bit of common sense you can put it together with the photo that comes with the packaging. There is a little bit of wobble when you're at full height, which I fully expected to be honest, but the outriggers do give a feeling of overall security and I think you'd do well to actually make it go over. In short, if you like a bit of diy and are considering whether or not to buy ladders or a tower - I'd recommend the tower everytime.

Bought to paint 1st floor weatherboarding on 1795 converted Maltings Height - as described Assembly - simple and well explained, all elements light Access - through the hatch, inside the tower good (once the knack of opening the hatch, climbing the frame, entering through the hatch and closing the hatch is developed anyway. Much safer than trying to reach the working platform from outside the tower Moving - easy on a hard surface, but may need partial disassembly on rough ground Stability - OK with the braces fixed, but I tied off to the building. I'd recommend the optional outriggers for something approaching maximum height. And read the manual and watch the YouTube vids they do help in the assembly process Perfect for the job, right price - recommended

First thing... Its a 5m tower but that's where your hand is going reach up to be when standing on the top. This is a common ploy by all the tower seller so beware what you are buying. For most houses you will need a 6 or 7 metres tower to reach the eaves easily but when buying towers over 5m, you really need stronger construction and the price rises dramatically for that. I also bought a pair of side stabilisers which was a good decision. the main aluminum ladder frames at either end are fine but not very heavily built. the stabilising bars are the main issue i have. they are made of steel thats a bit too thin. Supposedly you use two of them as safety rails but i suspect if you fell against them they would instantly bend and youd fall down. Also the platform has a trap door thats great, because trying to climb up the outside would probably make the lightweight tower flip over, but without a stay for the trap door, you have to be sure you dont drop it on your fingers and head. I found the only way to safely climb up was to put a 6 foot ladder inside the tower at an angle and then climb up the aluminum sides till i could step back onto the top surface. When in use, it doesn't feel amazingly safe as it wobbles, but probably is apart from those thin safety rails. Certainly far safer than a ladder for high tasks like painting. I am glad I used the side stabilisers, which are made of far thicker and heavier aluminium and steel than the main tower. It made the thing feel less wobbly and you can fold them in if you move the tower. the instructions say not to leave the top platform in the rain, but you would have to dismantle it to get it down every day then. Perhaps a better quality coating on the platform would do away with the need for this. If you left this outside for any time, the steel nuts and bolts will rust and the platform is likely to delaminate. I wouldn't dare go up it with someone else, its for one person only whatever the blurb says, though having a roomy 6 x 2 foot platform makes working at height much easier. The main frame is joined with big plastic handles with captive large nuts. there seemed to be a pair extra shipped which is helpful. You CAN get it in a car but only when fully disassembled. Don't be tempted to leave a bit off before using it. It relies on ALL the bits being in place to give it enough strength! IN summary, these things are built down to a price but are essentially safe if used on firm ground AND for the 5m ones, use with a pair of stabilisers. If you have an uneven surface, pay more for a steel scaffold and add adjustable height castors. If your using it more than a few weeks, buy traditional steel!

Die Lieferung per Spedition erfolgte schnell. Leichte Transportschäden waren dabei, aber für einen Gebrauchsgegenstand im tolerierbaren Rahmen, sodass ich hier keinen Stern abziehen möchte. Das Material sieht aus wie für Profis gemacht. Bei näherer Betrachtung ist es wesentlich dünnwandiger, aber dafür extrem leicht und damit auch bequem zu transportieren. Die Standfläche besteht aus einer rutschfesten Siebdruckplatte. Das Durchstiegsloch ist mit einer flächenbündigen Klappe versehen. Auch hier für den Privatanwender eine mehr als ausreichend gute Konstruktion und Verarbeitung. Der Aufbau erfordert eigentlich vier Hände, weil alles geschraubt werden muss. Wenn man es geschickt anstellt, klappt es mit etwas mehr Zeitaufwand auch allein. Ich habe es bereits zweimal auf Treppen aufgebaut. Dank des geringen Gewichts konnte ich es sogar im aufgebauten Zustand um mehrere Stufen versetzen und damit zügig weiterarbeiten. Fazit: Preis-Leistung absolut in Ordnung.

Absolut empfehlenswert, leicht aufzubauen, umzubauen und zu bewegen. Bin sehr zufrieden, die Investition hat sich auf jeden Fall gelohnt. Bei Lieferung war ein Rahmenteil beschädigt, aber wurde mir problemlos ersetzt. Die Kommunikation mit dem Händler lief einwandfrei und ohne Probleme. Jederzeit wieder!!!

Produkt kam deutlich verspätet an und war offensichtlich defekt. Hat bei der Lieferung so einen Schlag bekommen, dass eine Seite komplett verbogen war. Der erste Vorschlag war, dass man das defekte Teil der Lieferung austauscht - bei Aluminium Lebensgefahr. Es ist absolut nicht nachvollziehbar, was bei diesem Transport noch alles in Mitleidenschaft gezogen wurde von diesem Gerüst! Da stelle ich mich ganz sicher nicht 3 Meter über Boden drauf und arbeite! Nach langen hin und her wurde das Gerüst vor über zwei Wochen abgeholt! Mein Geld ist nach wie vor nicht bei mir zurück! Nie wieder mit diesem Verkäufer! Hiermit bitte ich Amazon um Unterstützung!!!
