(54) Simplified scaffolding tower


(57) A simplified scaffolding tower system has only two principal component variations (2,12), which when used in conjunction with a scaffolding platform enable a safe and simple construction method to be adopted. The scaffolding structure forms a perimeter guard rail system which protects all faces of the structure irrespective of the position and level at which the platform units are installed. This ensures that the operatives are protected from falling at all times.
