5.3m Trapdoor Scaffold – Medium
Our 5.3m trapdoor scaffold medium is a practical mobile scaffold designed for renovation, property maintenance and general trade work. This model includes a trapdoor platform, providing more convenient access between scaffold levels.
With a 1.8m × 0.97m footprint, the medium model provides useful working space while taking up less room than our large scaffold range.
Made from pre-galvanised steel, the scaffold has a 225kg Safe Working Load (SWL) and is fitted with lockable swivel wheels for convenient movement and positioning.

Trapdoor Platform for Easier Access
The trapdoor platform provides a convenient opening for access between scaffold levels and makes climbing through the scaffold structure easier.
This makes the 5.3m trapdoor scaffold medium particularly useful for taller scaffold setups where regular access to the working platform is required.
Medium Width for Versatile Access
The approximately 0.97m-wide frame provides a useful balance between working space and overall scaffold size.
This scaffold is suitable for:
- Exterior painting
- Wall and ceiling maintenance
- Gutter and fascia work
- Building and renovation projects
- Property maintenance
- General trade applications
Mobile & Easy to Position
Lockable swivel wheels allow the scaffold to be repositioned around the work area when required. The scaffold must not be moved while occupied, and all wheels should be securely locked before use.
For a scaffold of this height, correct stabilising and safety components are particularly important. Always assemble and use the scaffold according to the supplied instructions.
Workplace use and work at height may require additional safety components, specific setup requirements or a qualified scaffolder depending on the application and platform height.
