Beta Tower

'The Evolution of Aluminium Towers'

Since the introduction of HD1004 (BSEN 1004:2004) the design of the aluminium tower has consolidated with most new generation systems following similar design criteria.

However, by taking the industry’s common tower and introducing radical design changes, ‘evolving’ it, Turner Access has taken tower design to the next level and created the Beta Tower.

This is evolution; the gradual development of something into a more complex or better form. 

Everything from the tower’s adjustable leg up to the new GRN spigot has been improved to make the Beta Tower: faster, lighter, stronger, and inherently safer. 

Anyone who is currently using the industry’s common tower and wants to ‘evolve’, can do so as Turner Access can support users who want to use their existing components with the new Beta Tower. Recognising this as a current problem within the industry, Turner Access plan to provide assembly guidance for the purpose of mixing components, which have performance specifications that are rated lower than the Beta tower. With most common tower products on the market this is likely to be considerably lower than the Beta Tower.

Evolution also means having the ability to adapt to your changing environment. The Work at Height Regulations 2005 have had a major impact on the industry. How tower users build, utilise and dismantle safely should be done so with the risk of fall removed. The Beta Tower allows users to comply fully with the Work at Height Regulations 2005 by providing a complete fall prevention system. With the option of two advance guardrail systems, the risk of fall can be completely eliminated by collective means. Therefore, the Beta Tower allows the user to adapt to this safer environment by having the option of not just one but two advance guardrail systems. The two options provide prevention of the risk over mitigation with respect to the hierarchy of measures, measures that should be addressed for all work at height activity, thereby ensuring Best Practice (working at Level 3 of the Hierarchy of Measures in the Work at Height regulations 2005). The Beta Tower can also be assembled using the 3T Method (Level 8 of the Hierarchy of Measures)Click for more details on the Beta Tower
