PASMA Towers for Users Training

Learn to work safely with PASMA Towers for Users Training Course

Mobile access towers are straight up and down, single bay structures with four legs and wheels that can reach heights of 8m outdoors and 12m indoors. These lightweight structures can be assembled and dismantled quickly and easily, with collective fall prevention in place throughout.

It’s no wonder they’re a familiar sight in workplaces across the world, used by everyone from facilities managers and signage companies to stonemasons and event organisers.
