Frequently asked questions

  • Both the RS TOWER 4 and 5-series include scaffolds for professional use. Would you like to know more about the similarities and differences? We have made a comparison of our scaffolds.

Aluminium scaffold

Buying a scaffold is major expense; we know that all too well in Altrex. That's why we want to list all the important aspects before you purchase a scaffold. That will make you well informed and you will buy the right aluminium scaffold for your chore.

Altrex scaffolds are produced in our own factory in the Netherlands, thus ensuring that they are made from durable and high-quality aluminium. In our 75-metre long welding line, nearly all the scaffold parts are accurately and seamlessly welded millimetre by millimetre, even the thinnest materials.

The rungs with anti-slip material welded all around and fixed locking pins make the frames super-strong and 100% reliable. With the Safe-Quick® version, you always have all-round protection and you always stand safely in compliance.

Buying a rolling tower

The extensive selection of Altrex rolling towers is suitable for the smallest home job and up to the biggest projects, and everything in between. A rolling tower that perfectly meets your requirements. Lightweight and easy to move. For years, you will enjoy an Altrex rolling tower. In addition, the Altrex rolling towers comply with the applicable safety norms and requirements.

The advantages of an Altrex rolling tower:

  • Standard 5-year warranty
  • Tested, approved and certified: maximum certainty
  • Suitable for intensive use

Wide or narrow aluminium scaffold

You decide whether you need a wide (1.35 metre) or narrow scaffold (0.75 or 0.90 metre). The wider scaffold has two platforms along each other, giving you a larger working surface. This is very useful if you work for a long time in the same place. A narrow scaffold has only one platform on every level, which makes it suitable when you have little space to work in.

Top 3 of the best-selling aluminium scaffold:

  • RS TOWER 52 double width
  • RS TOWER 51 narrow
  • MiTOWER 1-person

Which platforms should you choose?

Based on the length of the platforms, you can determine the width of the scaffold. You can actually make this as large or small as you wish. Our platforms are available in sizes of 1.85 metre, 2.45 metres and 3.05 metres. If you opt for a scaffold from the RS TOWER 4 series, then you can choose lengths of 1.85 metre and 2.45 metres.

The material of the platform is also extremely important. The choice consists of wooden platforms or Fiber-Deck® platforms. Wood is cheaper than Fiber-Deck®. In comparison, Fiber-Deck® is 30% lighter, super-strong and indestructible. If you regularly assemble and disassemble a scaffold, you can certainly envision the positive effect of this version on your body. The maximum load per platform is 250 kilos.

How high should I build my scaffold?

Perhaps the most important factor is determining your working height. This of course is related to the height that you have to reach. The working height is equal to the platform height of a scaffold plus 2 metres, but that also depends on your own height. The taller you are, the higher the working height.

The maximum working height of a narrow scaffold is 10.2 metres, both indoors and outdoors. You can install a wide scaffold indoors up to a height of 14.2 metres. The platform heights are therefore 8.2 metres and 12.2 metres respectively.
