The construction tower-tour is a mobile auxiliary structure consisting of several modules and designed to carry out various works both outside and inside the building or structure (construction, repair, finishing work, installation of electrical equipment, etc.). Depending on the model, the construction tower may have several sections, the quantity of which depends on the height of the auxiliary structure.
The main difference between a construction tower and other means of scrubbing is the presence of special swivel wheels that allow you to move it without dismantling the entire structure, as well as carry out work in places where it is difficult to use «traditional» scaffolding.
Classification of construction towers
The classification criteria for building towers are as follows:
1. The material of manufacture. On this basis, steel and aluminum towers are distinguished;

Classification of construction towers
The classification criteria for building towers are as follows:
1. The material of manufacture. On this basis, steel and aluminum towers are distinguished;
2. The design. There are two types of towers – fixed telescopic, which are used mainly indoors, and, more universal, collapsible towers tours.
3. Height. May reach 20 meters or more.
4. The carrying capacity. It can reach up to 250 kg or more.
5. Dimensions of the site. There are several generally accepted site sizes. – 0.7×1.6; 1×2; 1,2×2; 1.6×1.6 and others.
What determines the right choice of construction tower
The following factors influence the correct choice of a construction tower:
– Type of work to be performed with its help. So, when conducting interior finishing work, a low construction tower made of lightweight aluminum profile is more suitable. Such a tower is designed to accommodate one working and necessary set of tools on it. If you plan to work simultaneously with several people or place a large number of tools or building materials on a work site (for example, during masonry), it is better to choose a steel tower that can withstand a load of more than 300 kg per square meter.
– Support structure height. When choosing a construction tower, you should pay attention to its height. As already mentioned, the tours consist of sections, which allows you to choose the height of the tower, which is needed for a certain type of work. If necessary, the height of the structure can be «build up», buying the required number of sections.
– Working conditions. For example, when working in a confined space, it is better to choose a construction tower with smaller dimensions of the working platform (the universal size of the flooring is 1.2 x 2 m), when working on uneven surfaces – additional equipment of the tower with screw supports is required, and when working at a height of more than 10 meters, the use of side stabilizers.
