Towers with Bridges
for Users

Bridge a gap in your tower knowledge

Duration: 1 day

Practical: Yes

Standards: BS 1139-6

What if you need more platform space, but there's an obstacle or access route at ground level? In this situation, you're looking for a tower with a bridge - that's two or more towers joined together at their end or side.

Towers with bridges provide a long, uninterrupted platform area while leaving clear space at ground level. This is useful for a whole host of tasks, such as aircraft maintenance, where you're working above any type of obstruction or need to leave an access route for vehicles or pedestrians.
