One Person Tower Hire — 0.72m wide narrow scaffold tower from Access Towers
One Man Tower Hire · London & the South East

One Man Tower Hire
Built Alone. Safely.

The tower designed for the tradesperson who turns up on their own — built and dismantled by one person, folding to a trolley that fits through a doorway. Platform heights to 6.1m.

One man tower hire in London suits the job one tradesperson turns up to alone. The tower is designed so a single operative can put it up and take it down safely without a second pair of hands, and the whole thing folds down to a wheeled base unit that goes through a doorway and into a lift.

Two versions, and the difference matters

The One Man Tower gives four platform heights — 1.1m, 2.1m, 3.1m and 4.1m — for a working height range of roughly 3.1m to 6.1m. The One Man Tower +Plus adds 5.1m and 6.1m platforms and is rated for two people rather than one, taking you to around 8.1m working height. If the job is a single operative under about 6m, the standard unit is the cheaper hire; if you need the extra height or a second person on the deck, take the +Plus.

Transport is half the point

The base unit becomes a trolley for storage and transport, so the tower loads into a van, wheels across a car park and passes through a standard doorway without being carried in pieces. On facilities and reactive maintenance work where the operative visits several sites in a day, that is usually what decides the hire.

Working alone does not remove the training

Under the Work at Height Regulations 2005 the person assembling a mobile access tower must be competent, and that applies whether there is one of them or four. In practice it means a valid PASMA Towers for Users card, and we run those courses from our Croydon centre. For heights beyond this range, a single width tower uses the same 0.72m frame width and goes considerably taller.

Also known as a one person tower, solo tower or — after the best-known brand — a MiTower.

Platform Heights from 1.1m to 6.1m

Towers are hired by platform height — your working height is roughly 2.0m above the platform. The standard unit stops at a 4.1m platform; the +Plus continues to 6.1m.

One Man Tower — 0.72m

Four platform heights from 1.1m to 4.1m, rated for a single operative. The cheaper hire when the job is one person under about 6m working height.

One Man Tower +Plus — 0.72m

Adds 5.1m and 6.1m platforms and takes two people, for roughly 8.1m working height. Same footprint, same solo build.

Common Questions

Yes — that is the entire design brief. Component count and weights are set so a single competent operative can assemble, use and dismantle it without help. It still requires PASMA training.

The standard unit offers four platform heights to 4.1m and is rated for one person. The +Plus adds 5.1m and 6.1m platforms and is rated for two, taking you to roughly 8.1m working height.

Yes. The base unit folds into a wheeled trolley for transport, which passes through a standard doorway and into most service lifts — that is usually why people choose it for occupied buildings.

Yes. The Work at Height Regulations 2005 require whoever assembles, alters, dismantles or inspects a mobile access tower to be competent, and working alone does not change that.

Move to a single width tower, which uses the same 0.72m frame width and reaches a 7.9m platform, or a double width for anything above that.
