Product Review: Zarges First 5 DIY Scaffold Tower Base Pack

17/07/2015

zarges scaffold

Our range of mobile access towers and telescopic tower equipment are hugely popular amongst builders and tradespeople – and perhaps the biggest sellers on our website.

One of these towers, the Zarges First 5 DIY Scaffold Tower Base Pack, deserves a special mention for its fantastic safety features and great value. Today we’ll be exploring just what this mobile scaffold tower base has to offer with a full product review.

Suitable for homeowners and tradespeople

The Zarges aluminium scaffold tower was designed with the DIY market in mind, tailored exactly for this purpose. Of course, this means that when it comes to DIY, the tower base offers optimum safety whether you’re decorating indoors or carrying out maintenance work outdoors.

Adaptable and versatile – meeting all your working needs

There are two platform heights available on this tower, one sitting at 2.73m and the other at 4.73m. These are also adjustable every 300m – allowing you to carry out a whole range of jobs comfortably, without the need to overreach or put yourself in danger. The tower is safe, stable and versatile to all your DIY needs and can even be re-positions when erected. The handy wheels – that sit at the bottom of the tower – allow for easy manoeuvrability and efficiency with any job.

No fuss set-up for ease of use

As a DIY product – aimed at homeowners and tradespeople alike – the scaffold tower base has also been designed for easy set-up. It’s simple to erect and made from lightweight aluminium, meaning its slot together construction is quick and easy.

Additional features, such as the round aluminium stiles and integrated trapdoor for safe internal climbing, also enhance the safety of this product.

Reach new heights with the 2.0m Extension Pack

For those of you who need additional height to reach high ceilings or carry out outdoor maintenance, there’s the 2.0m Extension Pack. Designed to fit specifically with the Zarges First 5 DIY Scaffold Tower Base Pack, the extension pack is safe, sturdy and fit for purpose. The additional height allows for a working height of up to 6.73m – giving you an even larger choice of working heights just 300mm apart.

Both products are priced individually and the 2.0m Extension Pack is an optional extra. They’re also available now and can be delivered free of charge within 3-5 working days. Next day delivery is also available at an additional cost.

 Team your purchase with safety training
