At Speedy, we offer access towers that provide a safe and stable platform for working at height. Whether you're indoors or outdoors, our range of towers has the right one for your job. Choose from alloy towers, MiTower one-person systems, GRP non-conductive towers, BoSS liftshaft towers, and stair towers.

Access towers are a key piece of kit for maintenance, installation, painting, electrical work, and construction tasks where you’re working at height. Alloy towers are a general height access option, while MiTowers allow safe one-person assembly.

GRP towers are perfect for jobs that involve working around electrical hazards as they are non-conductive. Liftshaft towers are ideal for working in narrow areas, while stair towers provide safe access on internal staircases without compromising on stability.

Your safety always comes first when it comes to working at height. That’s why all towers must be assembled according to manufacturer guidance, full guard-railed, and placed on firm, level ground. While towers can be used outdoors, always take extra precautions or avoid using the access tower during severe weather such as high winds or torrential rain where slippery surfaces are more likely.

Whether you need it for one day or several weeks, Speedy Hire offers flexible durations for your scaffold tower hire. Our access tower range also comes in a range of heights and widths, with safe working loads supporting up to 150-275kg. All of our tower hire options meet PASMA standards, ensuring safe working at height and compliance with industry best practice.
