At the base of every mobile scaffold tower, you’ll find locking castors: heavy-duty wheels designed for both movement and secure positioning. Its function is to enable effortless relocation across a work site, significantly reducing the time and labor required for large projects where frequent repositioning is necessary. Crucially, each castor features a robust locking mechanism that, when engaged, prevents wheel rotation, effectively immobilising the tower. This locking feature is paramount for safety, ensuring a stable work platform, especially at height, and preventing potentially catastrophic accidental movement. Furthermore, many locking castors incorporate adjustable screw jacks, allowing for precise leveling on uneven terrain. This adjustability is vital for maintaining the tower’s stability and ensuring a safe working environment.
