PASMA Linked Towers
Course Introduction
Sometimes one tower just isn’t enough. When you need a bit more space, for example, to work on the facade of a building, a linked tower – that’s two or more towers joined together – provides that extra platform length you’re looking for.
Linked towers are most often used to span the facade of buildings, so work such as painting, plastering or replacing windows can take place. They provide a long, uninterrupted deck area, which is useful for a whole host of tasks.
