When you’re working on a construction site, safety and accessibility are crucial. A stair tower is a smart solution that makes it easy and safe to move up and down scaffolding – whether it’s for a façade renovation on a house or a larger contracting project.

What is a stair tower?

A stair tower is a complementary part of a scaffold consisting of several levels with stairs. It functions as a “stairwell module” where both workers and materials can be transported up and down more safely than via ladders.

Benefits of stair towers

  • Increased safety – reduces the risk of falls compared with ladders.

  • Faster work – easier for tradespeople to carry tools and materials.

  • Accessibility – allows several people to move at the same time without crowding.

  • Flexibility – can be built to different heights and adapted to the needs of the project.

When is a stair tower needed?

  • For larger projects where many tradespeople need to work at different levels.

  • For façade work on houses where safe and easy access is required.

  • When materials need to be transported up onto the scaffold on a regular basis.

  • On construction sites that are subject to work environment requirements from the Swedish Work Environment Authority.
