Yes you can; by releasing the bolt and wing nuts. Warning: It is dangerous to use the DIY tower without the base bars unless you tie the tower to something rigid or use outriggers.
Only if your existing tower is from our DIY tower range. You cannot not mix brands from different manufacturers.
Yes, sometimes the two bottom base bars of our DIY tower may need to be removed.
Strictly speaking, no. But having two or four outriggers will give a bigger footprint and make the tower feel more secure. In addition, the outriggers can give extra adjustments to uneven ground. Especially in garden use.
Certification is not currently required for DIY towers. Our domestic tower platforms are load tested according to the EN1004 Class 3 standard.

Yes, it is significantly safer than using a ladder. If you are afraid of heights, then a scaffold tower is an ideal solution. Our Industrial Towers and Trade King Towers are tested and certified to EN1004-1:2020 Class 3 Standard.
A scaffold tower (also known as a mobile scaffold, aluminium tower, or access tower) is a freestanding, modular structure used to provide a safe and stable elevated working platform. Full details on What Is a Scaffold Tower

Shall I buy a Step Ladder or an Extension Ladder?
| Feature | Step Ladder | Extension Ladder |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Design | Self-supporting, freestanding A-frame with a hinged design. | Non-self-supporting, single or multi-section ladder that must lean against a structure. |
| Best For | Low to medium height tasks, confined spaces. | High-reach outdoor tasks, accessing roofs, sides of houses, and tall trees. |
| Typical Use Cases | Indoor painting, changing lightbulbs, reaching high shelves, decorating, assembly work, hanging curtains and blinds, cleaning ceiling fans or light fixtures. | Gutter cleaning, roof access, exterior window washing, fascia board repairs, exterior painting. |
| Stability | Excellent on flat, level ground due to its wide base and freestanding nature. | Dependent on correct angling and a stable supporting structure. |

Choosing the right ladder height is essential for both safety and efficiency.
🚫 Safety
Using a ladder that’s too short can tempt you to overreach, throwing off your balance and increasing the risk of tipping sideways. Conversely, an overly tall ladder may be too steep or unstable for shorter jobs, creating a different kind of hazard.
💪 Efficiency
The correct height allows you to work with your arms in a natural, comfortable position — minimising strain, improving accuracy, and helping you stay productive for longer periods.
🧱 Ladder Longevity
Operating within the rated height and weight limits of the ladder not only protects you but also reduces wear and tear, extending its lifespan.
A Telescopic Multi Purpose Ladder is a type of ladder that extends and locks in place rung by rung, allowing it to be adjusted to different heights. It can collapse down to a fraction of its full length for easy storage and transportation. Many models are designed to work in multiple configurations — straight ladder, step ladder, or scaffold platform support — making them incredibly adaptable. Common uses include:
- 💡 Changing light bulbs or reaching high shelves indoors
- 🎨 Painting walls, ceilings, or stairwells
- 🧹 Cleaning gutters and windows
- 🔧 Performing outdoor repairs or garden maintenance
- ⚡ Professional tasks such as electrical work or site inspections

Loyal Industrial Towers (11)
Yes, all the components are listed on the technical diagram given on the product detail page.

According to EN1004, outriggers are supplied with the industrial tower for working heights of 4.2m upwards to increase your base area making the tower as safe as possible.
Please click the Official TUV website link for our certificate.
These are the platform lengths (measured centre-to-centre on the platform hooks).
These are the widths of the industrial towers in millimetres (measured centre-to-centre on the frame uprights). The outer dimension is 50mm more.
150mm diameter dual locking wheels are supplied with all our Industrial towers.
The platform only requires 2 points of contact, one at each end, for a solid connection to the tower. They are required to hold the platform in position and avoid external forces from lifting the platform free.
The base area of the 3.7m working height tower is sufficient without outriggers. They are not required by EN1004 at this height so satisfy the Working at Height Regulations.
Loyal Industrial Towers Plus (1)
The platform only requires 2 points of contact, one at each end, for a solid connection to the tower. They are required to hold the platform in position and avoid external forces from lifting the platform free.
Technical (12)
Yes, but not in windy conditions.
The maximum platform height for outdoor use is 8m. It is strongly recommended to tie the tower to a rigid structure when the platform height is above 8m and/or if the wind is strong enough to move large branches on trees.
Please see page 4 of our Industrial Tower Instruction Manual for guidance on wind speed safety rules.
The Working at Height Regulations apply to all businesses, a tower certified to EN1004-1:2020 Class 3 Standard will satisfy the WAHR and HSE. Only our Loyal Industrial Towers and Trade King Towers have full certification.
At present, WAHR do not apply for private home/domestic use. So, the eDIY, MDIY and Super DIY towers do not need certification and are only suitable for private home/domestic use.
Detailed specifications can be found in the description on the tower product pages and on the technical diagram and component list, located just below the product title on the product pages entitled Click For Technical Diagram & Component List. These can also be found in the Need Help section.
This needs to be answered in reverse.
The Platform height is how far you are standing off the floor, that is, distance between the ground and the upper platform board.
The Tower height is the physical height of the tower itself, that is, distance between the ground and the top rail.
The working height is how high you can reach when you are standing on the platform. It is a common practice that working height is platform height plus 2 metres.
Please see Height Specification for a handy diagram below.
Scaffold Tower Height Limits
The max height of a scaffold tower depends on several factors:
- 🏠 Indoor vs outdoor use
- 🏗️ Whether the tower is freestanding or tied
- ✅ Compliance with BS EN 1004:2020
1. Freestanding Towers
Indoor Use:
- 📏 Maximum platform height (2024): 12 metres
- ⚖️ Must be stabilised with outriggers or a wide base.
Outdoor Use:
- 📏 Maximum platform height (2024): 8 metres
- 🌬️ Exposure to wind requires stricter stability, even with outriggers.
