Monkey tower - Self erecting scaffold tower

[dig dug dan]

Whilst driving down the m1, I saw a van towing a small trailer and scaffold tower built onto it. It was called monkey tower. Been on the website, looks a great piece of kit. Wheel it to where you want it, and wind a handle to get it the height you want, the climb the built in ladder.
It even goes through a gateway.
Has anyone had any experiences of one?

Not seen one or used one but I can see from their website that they pay attention to detail

Fits Through A Single Door

With Monkey Tower's height of 1.9m and width of 1.13 m it easily fits through a double door

i read it will retract further and fit through 720mm

looks like its based on the genie lifts
great idea for certain applications
I had to change 1 chimney pot yesterday for a client
said chimney was 9m tall adjacent to a hip so nowhere for a ladder,so had to have scaffold put up at a cost of £350 +vat to the client
we looked at cherry pickers but they needed 12 feet to go that high
looks ideal for guttering and soffit work

how do you mean?
I sometimes hire a narrow access cherry picker on tracks, will lift to 12.5m.
£150 for the day
cabstar mounted ones, £120 for the day

we've tried them and they are a complete nightmare to use but in fairness we install m&e services so are up and down constantly.

if you have a link dan that would be handy
the people i rang,said that the cherry picker we needed had to have stabilizer legs out,and needed 12 feet width on the drive
the scaffold was in an alley way 6 feet wide
just the position of the stack made anything but scaffold really awkward
