Turner Access announces to wind down its aluminium tower business

Turner Access, part of the Turner Group of Companies, has reportedly announced to scale down the manufacture and supply of aluminium towers and low-level access ranges. This includes the OCTO and BETA Aluminium Towers, BetaGuard, Alphastep, Sigmadeck and Omegadeck. According to the company, they intend to cease manufacture later in the year as part of a wider strategic decision.

Report says the Glasgow-based firm has also closed down its Training Centre and Aluminium Tower Rental Division.

Turner Access has, however, signed an agreement with Pop Up Products Ltd. to take over its Deltadeck business. The Deltadeck will now thus be available through Pop Up Products, which specialises in aluminium access equipment and low-level powered access.

ScaffMag understands that Turner Access aims to grow its Contract Scaffolding operation and Steel System Scaffolding Sales. Turner Access’ Contract Scaffolding business has been seing significant growth over the past 18 months. To enhance the business further, the company has also invested £2million since the start of the 2019/2020 budget year.

Commenting on the changes happening in Turner Access, Managing Director, Knud Højland Pedersen, said: “We are delighted to announce that Pop Up Products are taking on the Deltadeck. It is an innovative product that will sit well with its access solution range. This new direction signals an exciting new chapter for Turner Access as we grow Contracts and Turner OCTO sales, and provides us an opportunity to focus on this as the core of our business moving forward.”
