What is a facade tower?

A façade tower – also referred to as a linked tower or sometimes a bridge tower – is a structure created by joining together towers in a long line, usually along the face of a building. Because of the additional loads which can be imposed in adjoining bays – potentially on multiple levels, extra care is required in selecting, deploying and using linked towers.

This is a typical advanced tower application, at which the Alto HD equipment excels. With its massive strength rating, compatibility with standard scaffolding and range of specialist walkthrough frames, the Alto HD is the only serious choice for large linked tower applications.

A number of linked tower structures can be built using Alto HD as "standard" configurations. For an example of an assembly manual for this type of application, click here
