About Our Working At Heights Access Solutions

About Ability International

Ability International Limited have been manufacturing aluminium scaffold towers and equipment for working at height since 1987. Over the years we have gained an enviable reputation for quality and innovation.
Our product range utilises components which are unique in the features they offer to the customer, for example our segmental extruded locking hook is the only one of its kind in the aluminium tower sector that can accommodate two different tube sizes. Our top of the range hook can also be security locked in place to help prevent theft or unauthorized interference (a key consideration in some locations) when an aluminium tower has been erected.

To ensure operators meet the Health and Safety Executives’ competency requirements, we deliver certificated training for work at height equipment ranging from ladders & steps to sophisticated custom built aluminium tower systems. Our trainers have many years of experience in the access industry and the Ability accredited training and certification courses are valid for the normal working life of the individual (unless otherwise stated), with refresher training recommended every 5 years. Additionally, Ability Online Training offers eLearning courses meeting all the requirements for statutory employee training.

If you have an enquiry or requirement that may not be an “off the shelf” solution, we welcome the challenge to answer your access needs for work at height.
