What are tower tours?

Tura towers were created as a mobile and inexpensive alternative to scaffolding traditionally used in the construction and repair of facilities. The option turned out to be quite successful, but she was unable to completely replace the use of scaffolding due to some reasons, so these two technologies exist in parallel, complementing each other. It should be noted that it is much easier to buy a tour tower than to order the design of traditional forests.

In fact, the tour tower also belongs to the category of scaffolding, but the principle of its organization and application is slightly different. This is a spatial structure assembled from metal sections, each of them is about 1 meter high. The corners of a rectangle or square consist of pipes that are used to attach to the previous section. There are also horizontal ties or connectors that can simultaneously be used to tighten several sections to stiffen the frame and resist swinging of the tower when people are working on it and lifting loads. The lower section is the basic one, and can be made either similarly to the subsequent ones, or use alternative reinforcing structures. In particular, it is not uncommon to find tura towers with an "X"-shaped base. Wheels are attached to it, allowing the tower to be transported on a flat surface by the efforts of one or more people, because the weight of the overall structure rarely exceeds 100-200 kg. Installation of the tura tower in the operating mode should be carried out on a flat and solid surface with a minimum height difference (no more than 30 cm). For stability, either diagonal brake extensions are attached to the base, or they are fixed with screw jacks.

Each section has a ladder attached to it with three or four steps for access to the upper work area. Safety regulations require that workers climb ladders from the inside of the tura tower. There is a work area at the top, with a total area of approximately 4-6 square meters. It is believed that this is sufficient for up to four people to work at the same time, but it should be borne in mind that the maximum load rarely exceeds 200 kg per square meter. In this regard, foreign tura towers (for example, the Monto or Stabilo series from the German company Krause) are more solid and robust. But often such thoroughness is expensive in monetary terms. The work platform is usually made of plastic or plywood, and may have hatches for lifting small loads up. The playground is usually covered with a deck made of anti-slip material.

The height of the tura tower when assembled can be up to 22 meters, and even with a length of more than 10 meters it must be attached to the destination with special anchor devices.

Such towers are successfully used both in construction and in other service sectors. For example, cleaning companies actively use tura towers for cleaning and washing facades of various facilities. They are convenient to use for the installation of various kinds of cables, for the installation of billboards and banners, for tidying up green spaces, for preventive repairs of building walls: painting, putty, etc. The registration process is quick and simple, taking only a few minutes to complete all steps.
