Stairway Tower – Spiral
Product Highlights
- Modular scaffold stairway - Spiral tower provides efficient, compliant height access in tight footprints.
- Two-way access traffic - Handrail-supported stairs reduce ladder congestion on busy scaffold towers.
- Quick to install - Crane-compatible design allows fast scaffold stairway deployment and repositioning.
SKU WO89991z-1
This scaffold stairway system provides safe and efficient vertical access for high-rise or multi-deck sites. The spiral stairway tower design maximises space while maintaining steady two-way foot traffic. Quick to assemble and BS-EN 12811 compliant, it’s ideal for scaffold teams working on complex builds where secure height access and flow management are essential.
Spiral Scaffold Stairway Tower is a modular height-access solution built for projects where ladders fall short. It replaces temporary ladders with a stable, compliant scaffold stairway—giving scaffolders, contractors and M&E teams safe and continuous vertical movement between levels.
Compact and spiral in form, it fits within tight scaffolding layouts and congested worksites. Ideal for phased or high-rise builds, this stairway tower streamlines foot traffic, improves safety, and reduces fatigue during shift operations.
Key Features & Benefits
- Spiral configuration - Saves space on site while providing continuous upward/downward movement.
- BS-EN 12811 compliant - Fully certified scaffold stairway meeting UK access safety standards.
- Two-person access width - Supports bi-directional foot traffic between scaffold lifts or working decks.
- Modular segments - Height scalable from 2.5m to 18.5m, depending on project scope.
- Galvanised steel frame - Durable finish protects against corrosion, ideal for long-term jobs.
The spiral scaffold stairway is critical for safe vertical access in commercial refits, infrastructure works or scaffold-intensive façade projects. By reducing reliance on ladders, it supports higher site compliance and speeds up trades' movement between levels. Suitable for internal fit-outs or external scaffold rigs where elevation is significant and ongoing access is required.
Easily repositioned by crane, the modular stairway tower can adapt to different scaffold phases. Use in conjunction with Scaffold Access Bridge for lateral foot traffic or the Straight-Line Scaffold Stairway where spiral access isn’t needed.
