PASMA Towers with Cantilevers

We are one of the few PASMA centres in the uk
accredited to deliver the Towers with Cantilevers course

Something in the way !! Installing/cleaning solar panels, Dormer windows etc.

A cantilever tower can also prove useful for overreaching obstacles, like stairwells, window apertures, riser shafts or porches, Also for reaching those hard to reach areas that require maintenance above obstacles such as machinery, racking, shelving, which otherwise would have had to be moved or larger heavier and more expensive access equipment used to access to the job.

These towers have a platform/platforms sticking out of the end or side of the Unit. This helps you work over obstructions, making it useful for a whole load of usually difficult access tasks.
