How high can a scaffold tower go?

While using a scaffold tower, you always wonder about its maximum height. A scaffold tower built with typical components can achieve a maximum height of around 10 to 12 meters. But many DIYers and even professional tradesmen are confused about the terms “platform height” and “working height.” Both terms are commonly used in scaffold towers. The platform height refers to the height at which the platform can be raised. In other words, platform height is the vertical distance between the platform and the ground. Conversely, working height is the height a person can safely reach while standing on the platform. Scaffold towers are available in various heights from 0.6 meters to 12 meters.
