Home Master DIY Scaffold Tower | Aluminium at-Home Scaffolding | 150kg Load Capacity, Quick Assembly, Trapdoor Platform | 6m

Impressive working platform for the price. Very lightweight and easy to assemble - although you need to rely on common sense as the packaged instructions are in poor English. The optional stabilisers are a must-have as it otherwise gets quite wobbly at 3m off the ground; an extra £99, but well worth it!

Instructions are well made but you need some common sense. First of all the wheels need the shorter J bolts to secure them and put the j part of the hook in from the top. Add one side of the top red rails before you mount the top vertical side and then make sure you have the trapdoor at the other side as you cant reach those mounting points sitting in the trap door. There are no instructions for the out riggers in 5m but the7m instruction’s say to use the pins with spring to secure them but they were not delivered with the out riggers - use the ones with the ground spikes ! The tower is reasonable sturdy so lang as you use the outriggers and have the blue strengthened connected as shown in the instructions. Overall a good well made product and reasonable instructions. Ps I received 2 spare wing nuts which was a plus 😀

This is a great scaffold for working at up to six meters it does have pros and cons as listed below. Pros: 1. Lightweight aluminium 2. All inclusive package (i.e. if you buy traditional scaffold you will end up paying more than list price with essentials such as casters, internal ladders etc) 3. Stable enough Cons: 1. Instruction manual could be shorter and ironically lacks some good details about the fixings. As others have said the product shot is helpful. 2. Stability is not perfect and will take getting used to, recommend new buyers to use additional safety gear to feel more confident e.g. fall arrest harness and also use strong rope to fix the scaffold where possible. 3. Safety bars along the length could be more rigid.

Better than expected, good height, weight & usefulness

First thing... Its a 5m tower but that's where your hand is going reach up to be when standing on the top. This is a common ploy by all the tower seller so beware what you are buying. For most houses you will need a 6 or 7 metres tower to reach the eaves easily but when buying towers over 5m, you really need stronger construction and the price rises dramatically for that. I also bought a pair of side stabilisers which was a good decision. the main aluminum ladder frames at either end are fine but not very heavily built. the stabilising bars are the main issue i have. they are made of steel thats a bit too thin. Supposedly you use two of them as safety rails but i suspect if you fell against them they would instantly bend and youd fall down. Also the platform has a trap door thats great, because trying to climb up the outside would probably make the lightweight tower flip over, but without a stay for the trap door, you have to be sure you dont drop it on your fingers and head. I found the only way to safely climb up was to put a 6 foot ladder inside the tower at an angle and then climb up the aluminum sides till i could step back onto the top surface. When in use, it doesn't feel amazingly safe as it wobbles, but probably is apart from those thin safety rails. Certainly far safer than a ladder for high tasks like painting. I am glad I used the side stabilisers, which are made of far thicker and heavier aluminium and steel than the main tower. It made the thing feel less wobbly and you can fold them in if you move the tower. the instructions say not to leave the top platform in the rain, but you would have to dismantle it to get it down every day then. Perhaps a better quality coating on the platform would do away with the need for this. If you left this outside for any time, the steel nuts and bolts will rust and the platform is likely to delaminate. I wouldn't dare go up it with someone else, its for one person only whatever the blurb says, though having a roomy 6 x 2 foot platform makes working at height much easier. The main frame is joined with big plastic handles with captive large nuts. there seemed to be a pair extra shipped which is helpful. You CAN get it in a car but only when fully disassembled. Don't be tempted to leave a bit off before using it. It relies on ALL the bits being in place to give it enough strength! IN summary, these things are built down to a price but are essentially safe if used on firm ground AND for the 5m ones, use with a pair of stabilisers. If you have an uneven surface, pay more for a steel scaffold and add adjustable height castors. If your using it more than a few weeks, buy traditional steel!

Beware. I called this company and asked if they sell Adjustable Base Plates for their tower. They don't, and as far as I can see because the tower leg has a 46mm collar at the base, other Adjustable Base Plates will not fit!

Good product easy to assemble . A little wobbly at top but not too bad. Certainly worth the money. Tried to order additional braces - pathetic! Like something out of fawlty towers! Got one brace and a 3 step frame. Complained .ordered 2 braces again, got one brace ( different length ) and another frame. Complained . Ordered 2 braces - they promised delivery in 3 days. 3 weeks later nothing arrived, they literally ignored me. Incredibly incompetant service. Shame as product not bad, but could organize a piss up in a brewery!

Wir haben ein günstiges Gerüst für den Innenraum gesucht, um Wartungen und Renovierungen im gesamten Haus (sehr hohe Decken) durchführen zu können. Deshalb haben wir uns für die 6m Variante des HOME MASTERs entschieden. Die Lieferung erfolgte per Spedition im angegebenen Lieferzeitraum und das Gerüst lies sich gut aufbauen. Zu zweit klappt es besonders gut. Leichte Kratzer an den Alurohren waren vorhanden, allerdings schrenken diese die Funktionalität nicht ein. Die Schweißnähte machen einen zweckmäßigen Eindruck. Die Bohrungen zwischen den Gerüstsprossen sind nicht entgratet, weshalb der Aufbau mit Arbeitshandschuhen empfehlenswert ist. Die bebilderte Anleitung ist verständlich geschrieben. Das 6m Gerüst ist mit den vier Teleskopauslegern besonders stabil und vermittelt das Gefühl von Sicherheit bei der Nutzung. Leider haben wir beim Aufbau gemerkt, dass ein Gerüstteil eine Beschädigung (Quetschung) aufwies, weshalb wir das Gerüst nicht vollständig aufbauen konnten. Wir kontaktierten den Verkäufer, beschrieben unser Problem und erhielten innerhalb von wenigen Tagen einen Ersatz für das beschädigte Gerüstteil. Da wir mit dem Gerüst für unsere Anwendung sehr zufrieden sind, waren wir glücklich nicht das gesamte Gerüst zurückschicken zu müssen sondern einfach Ersatz zu erhalten. Eine konstruktive Kritik an den Verkäufer / Einen praktischen Tipp beim Aufbau für alle Käufer: Die Verbindungen am Gerüst lassen sich einfach mit den Schrauben, Muttern und den Kunststoff-Flügelmuttern befestigen. Die Kunststoff-Flügelmuttern nutzen sich jedoch beim Festziehen an der Auflagefläche durch die Riffelung an den Rohren stark ab. Unterlegscheiben beheben das Problem vollständig (siehe Fotos).

Einfacher Aufbau, zur Not auch alleine.

Lieferung dauerte etwas länger

War erst etwas skeptisch aufgrund des doch geringes Preises. Benötigte das Gerüst zur Erneuerung des Fassadenanstriches (obwohl es dafür gar nicht eingesetzt werden soll... nur einfache Reparaturarbeiten laut Anleitung). Habe trotzdem meine 80qm² Hauswand saniert. Das Gerüst ist einfach aufzubauen, dies geht auch ohne 2. Person wenn man fit ist. Das Gerüst ist stabil, das Material sehr wertig und wenn man die Regeln beachtet zur Belastung und Standsicherheit, eine tolle Möglichkeit sicher auf eine Höhe zu kommen wo man mit Leitern nicht mehr arbeiten kann oder will. Noch als Hinweis. Durch die Spedition wurde ein Alurohr der Seitenteile leicht eingedrückt. Der Kundendienst hat hier hervorragend reagiert und probremlos ein komplettes Seitenteil kurzfristig angeliefert, feine Sache.

Gute Qualität. Erfüllt seinen Zweck
