What is an AGR scaffold tower?
AGR stands for Advanced Guardrail. Unlike the traditional 3T build method, an AGR tower uses dedicated guardrail units as part of the assembly sequence so guardrail protection is established as the tower is built. The exact AGR design and assembly procedure can vary between manufacturers, so always follow the instructions supplied with the tower and ensure it is assembled and used by a competent person.

Delivery and collection are free nationwide for this AGR scaffold tower product. Customers select their requested delivery date, and next-day service is subject to availability. Local depots generally plan routes on the day of delivery, so SAB normally cannot provide an ETA in advance. Delivery is kerbside/front-access: drivers do not enter homes or buildings or carry components through properties to reach rear gardens. Rear delivery may be possible where the vehicle can directly access and park at the rear. Once SAB is told the tower is ready for collection, the relevant depot is instructed to collect it. Collection may take a few days during busy periods. The equipment remains the hirer's responsibility until it has physically been collected.
AGR tower assembly & instructions
Your AGR tower may be supplied from different manufacturers depending on local depot stock. AGR systems and assembly sequences can differ, so always use the instructions for the exact make and model delivered. Towers must be assembled and used by a competent person in accordance with the relevant manufacturer’s instructions. Delivery and collection drivers do not assemble or dismantle scaffold towers; this must be carried out by someone on site.
AGR tower hire FAQs
Choosing & using your tower
What does AGR mean?
AGR stands for Advanced Guardrail. It refers to a tower build method where dedicated guardrail units form part of the assembly sequence. The exact system can vary by manufacturer, so always follow the instructions supplied with your tower.
Which tower width should I choose?
Choose single width at 0.93m for a more compact footprint or double width at 1.53m when you need a wider working area. Check the available site space before ordering.
What platform lengths are available?
This AGR range is available with 1.8m or 2.5m platform lengths.
What is the safe working load per platform?
The safe working load is 275kg per platform. This includes users, tools and materials placed on that platform.
What is the maximum tower load?
The maximum tower load figure is 950kg. This is separate from the 275kg safe working load per platform, and the tower must always be used within the limits stated in the instructions for the exact make and model supplied.
Do I need PASMA or other qualifications?
No qualifications or certificates are required simply to hire a scaffold tower from SAB Supply. The tower must still be assembled and used by a competent person. Some commercial sites, employers or site managers may require PASMA or other appropriate training, so check your own workplace and site requirements.
How do I choose the right tower height?
Use the tower height selector above, or visit Find My Tower for guided help based on your required reach and site conditions.
Do drivers assemble towers?
No. Drivers do not assemble towers. Someone on site must assemble the equipment in accordance with the correct manufacturer's instructions.
Hire, delivery & collection
Is a deposit required?
No. SAB Supply does not take a deposit for scaffold tower hire. Your hire charges are paid upfront when the order is placed.
Is delivery and collection free?
Scaffold tower hire includes free nationwide delivery and collection. Next-day service is subject to availability.
When will I receive a delivery ETA?
Local depots generally plan routes on the day of delivery, so SAB normally does not receive an ETA in advance. On the morning of delivery, you can contact SAB and the team can request an ETA from the depot. We cannot promise a specific delivery time.
Is delivery kerbside?
Yes. Delivery is kerbside/front-access. Drivers do not enter homes or buildings or carry tower components through properties to reach rear gardens. Rear delivery may be possible where the vehicle can directly access and park at the rear, depending on access.
Do drivers dismantle towers for collection?
No. The tower must be dismantled and ready for collection before the driver arrives.
What happens when the hire period ends?
Tell SAB when the equipment is ready for collection, or request an extension if you need more time.
How quickly will my tower be collected?
SAB notifies the local depot once the equipment is off-hired and collections are arranged as quickly as possible. Collection may take a few days during busy periods, so do not assume collection will occur the next day.
Who is responsible for the equipment until collection?
The equipment remains the hirer's responsibility until it has physically been collected by the depot.
