2.5 x1.45. It’s ex-demo. Boards have never been walked on. Saved £400-500.

I did the same, bought an ex demo boss scaffold, best thing I've ever bought. use it, charge it out to projects, get tax rightdown on it, if I ever sold it, it would go for similar money to what I paid for to start with.

I have a Youngman minimax, but boarding at height you need to be safe, and that’s a bit whippy at 5 metres up. Rang a hire place and they wanted £125 a week plus vat, so it was a no brainer.

It was similar with us hiring stuff when it’s more cash effective to buy stuff, madness, particular in scaffold where nothing can go wrong with it and zero maintainence costs on it.

Need one for two months so hire would be a grand

You might get a cheaper deal if longterm hire, but even so.
I try and hire stuff as least as possible, it’s dead money.

We've got a couple of those. Great for high ceilings or even large ones just over standard height.

Them minimax are a great bit of kit

They are. Had mine nearly ten years. Use it on most jobs.

I bought ours off of a company on eBay. Two sets of wheels, two sets of outriggers, two sets of boards and two towers, which I believe are 3m high. All for just under a grand. Paid for themselves on the first job compared with hiring in scaffold for three high ceilings and have been used many times since.

They're really good quality and apparently even interchange with Boss and Yougmans towers.
Those and the Levpano II boardlifter have been game changers for us.
