Aluminium Scaffold Towers Peterborough

We are Ability International Limited, a manufacturer of specialist aluminium access equipment and working-at-height solutions. Established in 1987 and based in Woodston, Peterborough, we design and manufacture equipment for construction, maintenance and industrial work. Our range includes scaffold towers, mobile platforms and bespoke access systems.

Our design and manufacturing experience helps us address different working heights, obstructions and site layouts. We support customers with equipment advice, supply, hire, repairs, spare parts and training.

Aluminium Scaffold Towers and Access Equipment
We manufacture aluminium scaffold towers and associated equipment for professional use. Our Contract 250 tower range is available in different standard lengths and widths. We also supply scaffold components, fittings and ladders for maintenance, installation and construction.

DeskSurfer Over-Desk Access Platforms
Our DeskSurfer over-desk access platform provides a working platform above desks, counters and fixed furniture. It allows overhead maintenance and installation, including work on lighting and fan coil units, without moving the furniture below. Its height-adjustable design suits offices, retail premises and other occupied environments. It has a stated safe working load of 150kg, and its compact design can assist movement through doorways and lifts, subject to dimensions and access.

DeskSurfer Bridging Systems
Our DeskSurfer bridging systems provide access above desks, tables and other obstructions. Depending on configuration, they incorporate a platform, handrails, toe boards and access gates, allowing overhead work while furniture or fixed equipment remains in place.

CHAMP Height-Adjustable Mobile Platforms
Our CHAMP (Cantilevered Height Adjustable Mobile Platform) provides access over fixed obstructions where conventional equipment may not suit. Its platform adjusts using a winch system and castors allow movement between positions. Made using aluminium alloy, a steel base and counterweights, it can be custom-built for specialist applications.

Bespoke and Custom-Built Access Equipment
Where standard products do not meet a task's requirements, we develop custom-built access products around the application and site. We review the task, measurements and photographs, and arrange site visits where necessary. Solutions can include steps, platforms and larger systems designed around working height, obstructions, available space, transport and storage.

CARS Chimney Access Ridge Stand
We supply our CARS Chimney Access Ridge Stand for chimney-related tasks on pitched roofs, providing a specialist working platform for this type of access requirement.

Roof Ladders and Specialist Ladder Access
We also supply roof ladders, the Adjust Abil telescopic multi-purpose roof access ladder, CAT ladders and ladder extensions for specialist working-at-height applications.

Mobile Platforms, Steps and Bridging Equipment
Our range also includes mobile platforms, access steps and bridging systems for working environments where standard ladders or scaffold towers may not be suitable. We can discuss whether a standard product or bespoke configuration is appropriate for a particular obstruction, height or site layout.

Access Equipment Hire
We provide DeskSurfer hire for temporary maintenance and installation work requiring access over desks or counters. Availability, hire periods and delivery arrangements depend on the equipment and booking requirements, so contact us to discuss your dates and needs.

Access Equipment Repairs, Components and Spares
We support customers through our repair service and supply of components and spare parts for relevant products in our range. Contact us with the product details if equipment needs attention or you require a replacement part.

Working-at-Height Training and Equipment Inspection
We provide training for ladders, steps, aluminium scaffold towers and specialist access systems. Subjects include safe use and inspection, tower and DeskSurfer training, and roof safety. Depending on the course, training can be arranged at our premises or a customer's site.

Online Health and Safety Training
Through Ability Online Training, we provide eLearning in workplace health and safety, including working at height, manual handling, fire safety, asbestos awareness and abrasive wheels.

Quality, Safety and Manufacturing Experience
Our quality management system is assessed against BS EN ISO 9001:2015 for the design and manufacture of specialist access equipment and scaffold towers, including hire, repair and training. We also hold SafeContractor accreditation for relevant supply and training activities.

Supporting Specialist Access Requirements
We work with businesses and professionals requiring access equipment for maintenance, installation, construction and other working-at-height tasks. Whether you need a scaffold tower, DeskSurfer, CHAMP, chimney access product, training or repair, we can discuss your application and working conditions.

Product Selection and Application Advice
Choosing access equipment involves considering working height, task, floor space, obstacles and access routes. We discuss these details to identify a suitable product and consider how it will be transported, positioned and used.

Equipment for Commercial and Industrial Environments
Our products support maintenance, inspection, installation and repair above furniture, machinery and other obstructions. We consider the task and site constraints when discussing equipment options with customers.
