Access Tower Hire in Sheffield

Work Safe At Heights With Sheffield Access Tower Hire

An alloy access scaffold tower can help you to work safer when working at height.

One of these items of non-powered access equipment can provide contractors and staff the ability to work in a safe and stable manner when undertaking inspection work, maintenance work, decorating and cleaning at heights, and the carrying out of essential repair work to buildings in Sheffield, structures, and also items of machinery and plant. 

Access towers are commonly and regularly used by the following trades:

Aerial fitters, Builders, Chimney sweeps, Cleaning contractors, Decorators, Engineering personnel, Heating and ventilation engineers, Lighting installation and maintenance companies, Machinery maintenance staff, Plumbing and pipework engineers, Roofing contractors, and more.   

Preventing a fall when working at height: 

It is recognised in UK industries that the use of an alloy access tower can help prevent a fall when working at a height.

Although there are other methods of working at height (such as items of powered access equipment) an access tower is one that is easy to use, versatile for a wide range of applications, and is cost effective too when compared to the typical hire costs of a cherry picker or scissor lift. 

Use an access tower and work safer:

If you intend to hire an access tower in Sheffield for carrying out any type of work at heights, its important to ensure that the type of tower selected is suitable for the work in-hand, and is also erected, used, and dismantled by people who have been trained and are competent to do so. 

Access tower hire Sheffield for use indoors and outside:

Depending on the specific work that is being carried, access towers can be used inside as well as outside. With the exception of working in hazardous areas where there are live electrical cables (in these instances a non conductive access tower should be used) most alloy towers can be used indoors as well as outside. 

Choosing the right access tower to hire in Sheffield:

When considering the rental of an alloy tower for use in Sheffield it is recommended that (unless you know exactly what you need) you check with the individual access tower hire company that your considering using for their recommendation on the the right choice of tower to suit your individual needs. 

Several things that should be considered are: 

• where will the tower be sited? 
• is the ground level and stable? 
• what hazards have been identified? 
• what platform height of access tower would you need to hire? what width? (single or double width?) 
• are stabilisers and outriggers supplied? 
• do you need castors to allow easy movement and positioning? 
• what type of work will you be carrying out whilst using an alloy tower?

Once these points are covered you will be in a position to decide on exactly what type and size of access tower you need to hire.

Tower Specifications:

The specifications and physical sizes of alloy access tower units can vary from one make of access tower to another. Usually though a single width tower (used in restricted areas) has dimensions in the region of  0.7m wide and 2.5m length, a double width tower is typically 1.35m wide and also 2.5m in length. 

Other lengths of tower are becoming more popular and in particular the length sizes of 2.0m and 3.0m in addition to the industry standard 2.5m length tower. 

The platform height of a single tower can be varied depending on the manufacturers specification and on how many frame sections you use. The more sections used means a greater working height can be achieved. When calculating the height of access tower needed ensure you consider the platform height, the working height, and possibly ask about the guard rail height too.

Some popular sizes of tower that are hired are the "platform" heights of: 

• 1.4m
• 1.8m
• 2.34m
• 2.8m
• 3.25m
• 3.70m
• 4.2m
• 4.65m
• 5.13m
• 5.6m
• 6.0m
• 5.15m

NB: Other sizes are available for working safer at greater heights

Ladder Frame or Non-ladder Frame?

A "basic" tower requires an internal ladder to be used to reach up to the platform height. A "ladder frame" unit does away with the need for this additional piece of equipment. On this type of unit a ladder is built into the frame of the tower itself, allowing the user to climb up inside the tower and onto the top platform.

Good Motorcycle Shops in Sheffield

It's great for Sheffield to have SMC...

In the not too distant years there was a real shortage of good motorcycle dealerships in the city of Sheffield in South Yorkshire. If you have been a local "biker" for many years you may well remember some of the "old" dealerships and motorcycle shops that used to be based here, with a "blast from the past" do you remember Richardsons? (main Suzuki dealer), Bentleys? (Abbeydale Road), Wilf Green's MZ dealership?, DC Cook? (5 star Honda dealership at London Road), Empire Garage? (Fantic and Lambretta dealer - was this on Machon Bank Road?), as well there used to be a Kawasaki dealership at Firth Park, a Harley and AMF dealer on Abbeydale Road (near to Edgedale Road), Smiths on Spital Hill (just up the road from the Wicker Arches) and lots more... 

For accessories who can remember "Ropers" that used to be on London Road? - This shop used to be an Aladdins Cave when it came to motor bike accessories, consumables, and clothing!  ** You can read more on the shops that have come and gone on the Sheffield Forum website. There also used to be Lewis Leathers at the bottom end of The Moor. 

With all of these historic shops gone it is really great that SMC have committed to being here and especially with the main dealerships for in particular Suzuki and Yamaha! Wouldn't it be great if they could secure a Honda dealership too as that is one motorbike brand that is lacking support in this part of the UK? But we can't be ungrateful with what Sheffield Motorcycle Centre has given back to this city - in all, a really good motorcycle shop....

Some common questions we get asked about the hire of a hot tub:

How much does it cost to hire a hot tub? 

The charge to hire a hot tub in Sheffield varies depending on how long you want it for, as well as whether you want a hot tub on it's own or alternatively with some useful add-ons. This could be a quantity of aromatherapy sachets, a few stand-alone mood lights, or how about a couple of champagne buckets? 

Typically though - hot tub rental costs as little as £125.00 upwards. 

How many people can be accommodated in a hot tub? 

This varies depending on the individual model of tub / spa supplied. Usually they will accommodate a minimum of 4 people upwards. 

Can the water temperature be varied? 

Yes, all of the units have an adjustable temperature control. 

How long does it take for the water to fully heat-up? 

It usually takes around 30 to 48 hours depending on several factors. Warm water can be used (if there is a nearby hot water tap / supply) to speed this waiting time up though. 

Will the hot tub be clean and ready to go? 

The hot tub will have been totally cleaned prior to the start of your rental period. The delivery personnel from our Sheffield hot tub hire company will also undertake some installation procedures to get your tub / spa up and running. 

Will I need to provide an electrical supply?

Yes, a standard 13amp 3 pin wall socket is required for the hot tub to be plugged in. This must be a nearby socket that is close to where you want the hot tub positioned in your garden. 

Can the the hot tub be placed on decking? 

Yes, providing there is a nearby electrical supply and also a water supply to fill the hot tub up with water, this can be just an outdoor garden tap which we can run a hose to for water filling purposes. 

Can the hot tub be connected to the mains supply with an extension lead?

Yes, but only with a lead which we will supply when the hot tub is delivered to your Sheffield location. The lead supplied will be heavy duty trailing cable that will reach up to maximum distance of around 15 metres from where the hot tub is to be sited in your garden.

What type of ground can the hot tub be placed on? 

When you choose to hire a hot tub the ground or site must be stable, as when filled with water it will weigh a fair amount even before you start to use it. The ground must be flat and stable, ideally being a patio, strong wooden decking, or a flat lawned area in your garden. 

Is a drain required to empty the hot tub after it has been rented? 

A suitable garden drain or soak-away is needed to drain the water away after you have finished the hire of your hot tub. The tub will need completely empting of the water within when your rental period has ended so it would be beneficial if a drain is nearby in your garden. Alternatively we can pump the water onto a lawn or other chosen soak-away area.
