Access, Towers & Platforms

At Rapid Plant & Tool Hire, we’re committed to delivering fast and reliable access equipment hire to customers in Sittingbourne and across Kent. Whether you need scaffolding hire, alloy tower hire, ladder hire, or other quality access solutions, we’ve got you covered.


All our equipment is rigorously inspected to ensure the highest standards of safety and functionality before it reaches you. Our expert team is always available to provide professional advice on product selection, safety tips, and usage guidance, helping you make the most of your access equipment hire.

Alloy Tower and Platform Hire 

Perfect for a wide range of access and work applications, our platform and aluminium scaffold tower hire offers the stability and support you need. Designed for reliability in any setting, our towers and platforms are durable, easy to assemble, and ensure quick setup, getting you to work in no time.


When hiring an aluminium scaffold tower, follow these steps to ensure you get the correct tower:


  1. Consider the Tower Footprint:  Towers are available in single width  (0.7 m) or double width (1.35 m)  and two platform lengths (2 m and 2.5 m). Choose the length and width that fits your workspace while providing the stability and access required.

  2. Know Your Working Height: Measure the height you need to reach. The overall tower height is approximately 1.25 m above the platform height and the working height is 2 m above the platform height.

  3. Check Platform Height:  Scaffold towers are measured by their platform height, not their total height. Choose a tower where the platform height suits your required working height.

  4. Account for Clearance: Ensure the tower height fits your workspace, including overhead areas and side clearance for stabilisers.

  5. Ask for Advice:  Contact us to receive guidance on the most suitable tower size.
