Legs & Castors

Yes. Castors should always be locked before anyone climbs up on the inside or works from the tower's platform. This is so the structure cannot move unexpectedly while someone is working on it. After positioning the tower, confirm the brakes are engaged properly and only unlock them again when the tower is ready to be moved safely.

Yes. Scaffold tower castors can fail if they are damaged, worn, overloaded, or used on unsuitable ground. Because the wheels are critical to stability and mobility, they should be inspected carefully before use and replaced if there are signs of wear or damage. Locking and loading them correctly is just as important as the condition of the wheel itself.

No. Bricks, blocks, or other loose packing materials should never be used under scaffold tower legs because they can shift, crack, or create uneven support. Use the correct adjustable legs, base plates, or approved levelling equipment for the tower system instead. Stable foundations are essential to the safety of the whole structure.
