Adjustable height power towers are a great way to raise the amount of the power lines that your building can support. Power towers are a permanent fixture in various public places such as airports, hospitals, schools, and businesses. There are many pros and cons to having one of these installed at your place of business. Knowing them ahead of time will make it easier to decide if this is the right solution for you.
One of the main pros to having a power tower is that it is very sturdy. The structure is often made out of galvanized steel or cold rolled steel. This means that the structure will be very durable and last for a very long time. The metal used in the construction of the structure is often galvanized or painted to protect it from corrosion. It also can resist being punctured and has very thick aluminum or steel wiring.
On the flip side, there are some cons to a power tower that you should be aware of before you purchase one. Since the structure is usually pretty tall, most people do not like to have to sit on some type of chair to get up there and/or to reach the controls. The good news is that most of them have hand grips on the top of the structure that allows you to reach all of the controls with just your hands. Some even have built-in hand grips.
Some of the more popular models that are made by certain manufacturers are able to support heavier loads than others, which is important to know when considering if this would be a good option for your business. If you need more added weight capacity, make sure that you do not settle for a model that is only rated for the lightest load. You will probably need a slightly sturdier structure.
The next two to consider is the fact that most power towers that are rated for use by one person are constructed using solid steel construction. Most wood framed structures tend to be too flimsy in this area to support the weight of one person. A reputable manufacturer should use high quality steel along with solid wood for construction of the tower. They will probably also have reinforced rubber hand grips on the top for comfort. And, of course, they will have the best type of hand controls.
Finally, the last two to think about is ease of use. Adjustable height power towers are easy to use, even for those who may have difficulties with their balance or with getting into and out of a standard chair. They usually have a user-friendly top with an easy to grip control dial that makes assembly a snap. There is no need for any type of modifications for this type of structure.
