Scaffolding

Scaffolding and scaffold towers provide a fully stable, level working platform for sustained work at height — safer and more productive than ladders for tasks exceeding 30 minutes at the same height.

Drabest scaffolding range includes mobile aluminium scaffold towers, mobile ladder-scaffold combinations, and multi-purpose scaffold configurations, all conforming to BS EN 1004-1 and suitable for trade and light industrial use in the UK.

When to Use Scaffolding Rather than a Ladder

HSE guidance and the Work at Height Regulations 2005 indicate that ladders are only suitable for short-duration tasks where the risk is low. For work lasting more than 30 minutes at the same height, work requiring both hands, or tasks where materials and tools need to be positioned at height, scaffolding or a mobile access tower is the safer and more productive solution.

Types of Scaffolding in the Drabest Range

The range includes mobile aluminium scaffold towers with adjustable platforms and stabiliser outriggers, mobile ladder-scaffold combinations that incorporate a fixed access ladder into the tower structure, and multi-purpose scaffolding frames for custom configuration. All are constructed from extruded aluminium for maximum strength-to-weight ratio and ease of assembly by one or two people.

Safety Standards for Mobile Scaffold Towers

All Drabest scaffold towers conform to BS EN 1004-1, the European standard for mobile access and working towers. This standard covers platform load capacity (typically 150–250 kg), stability base dimensions, guardrail height (minimum 1 m), and toe board requirements. PASMA training is recommended for all users of mobile access towers in professional environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need PASMA training to use a mobile scaffold tower?
PASMA (Prefabricated Access Suppliers' and Manufacturers' Association) training is strongly recommended and in many cases required by site health and safety regulations. The Work at Height Regulations 2005 require that all access equipment users are competent — PASMA certification is the recognised qualification for mobile access tower use in the UK.
