Frequently asked questions

A stair tower is a vertical structure specifically designed to provide safe and convenient access to different levels of a building or construction site. It consists of a series of interconnected platforms that form a staircase, allowing workers to move up and down easily. Stair towers are commonly used in construction projects where temporary access is needed during the building phase. They are made from durable materials such as aluminum or steel to ensure stability and safety. Stair towers typically feature handrails, non-slip surfaces, and other safety measures to prevent accidents and provide a secure pathway for workers.

A stair tower in construction is a vertical structure that provides safe and easy access to different levels of a building or construction site. It consists of interconnected platforms forming a staircase, enabling workers to move up and down conveniently.

The weight capacity of a scaffold tower can vary depending on the specific design and manufacturer. However, standard scaffold towers are typically designed to safely support a load of around 225 kilograms (496 pounds) per platform level. It’s important to adhere to the manufacturer’s guidelines for maximum weight capacity to ensure safety.

A standard 6-meter stairtower takes our certified erectors 2-3 hours to install, test, and handover with full documentation. Complex configurations may require 4-6 hours. We offer same-day emergency stairtower hire across Dublin, Cork, Limerick, and Galway with 24-hour service for other Irish locations.

Yes, absolutely. Every scaffolding stairs installation includes comprehensive documentation: initial erection inspection certificate, 7-day re-inspection records, and handover certificates meeting SI 299/2007 requirements. Our CISRS-certified inspectors conduct statutory inspections, providing the compliance evidence HSA inspectors require.

Professional stairtowers feature adjustable base jacks accommodating ground level differences up to 250mm. For more severe ground irregularities, we provide base plates and packing systems ensuring safe, stable installation. Our site survey service (free within our coverage area) identifies any ground preparation needed before delivery.

Definitely. Scaffolding stairs provide ideal access for house extensions, attic conversions, and two-story renovations. The compact footprint suits typical Irish residential plots, while the professional appearance reassures homeowners about safety standards. Many homeowners insurance policies mandate compliant access equipment—stairtowers satisfy these requirements.

Standard scaffolding stair systems are designed to 1.5kN/m² (approximately 150kg per square meter), comfortably supporting multiple workers, tools, and materials simultaneously. For heavy-duty applications requiring materials hoisting, we specify heavy-duty configurations supporting up to 2.5kN/m². All load ratings are clearly documented on handover certificates.
