Summer tends to be the busiest season for building and renovation projects, and much of that work involves working at height at some point, whether it’s roofing, rendering, guttering or general maintenance.
For exterior work across a large wall or roofline, a scissor lift or tower gives a stable, mobile platform that keeps work moving without constantly repositioning a ladder.
Shorter jobs, such as guttering repairs or window work, are often better suited to a podium or tower, which can be set up and moved quickly between small sections of a building.
Warm weather also means more people working at height for longer hours, so it’s worth factoring in proper planning around breaks, hydration and equipment checks alongside choosing the right access equipment itself.
