Some products are built to solve a problem. Others go on to shape the way an entire sector thinks. The EIGER TOWER belongs firmly in the second group.
POP UP Products’ story begins in 1971, when three former employees of Scaffolding Great Britain founded Cheshire Scaffolds. Faced with the challenge of sourcing aluminium access towers, they took a different approach and built their own. From that decision came the development of the EIGER TOWER system, a design that would go on to define not just their own products, but the wider access industry.
More than 50 years on, the principles behind the EIGER TOWER system remain at the core of POP UP Products. It is a rare example of engineering that has stood the test of time, continuing to deliver reliability, safety and ease of use in a fast-evolving market.
While materials and manufacturing processes have advanced, the original thinking behind the system still underpins today’s range. That consistency speaks volumes about the strength of the design and the foresight of its creators.
The introduction of the EIGER TOWER was not just a step forward for one company. It marked a turning point for the access industry as a whole. By prioritising efficiency, practicality and safety, the system helped set new expectations for how access equipment should perform.
This influence can still be seen today. Modern access solutions continue to reflect the same principles first established by the EIGER design, demonstrating its lasting impact across the sector.
Innovation at POP UP Products has never been about change for the sake of it. Instead, it is about refining and improving what already works.
The current EIGER range reflects that philosophy. Products have been re-engineered to meet modern standards while maintaining the simplicity and functionality that made the original system so effective. Lightweight construction, ease of assembly and robust safety features all remain central to the design.
Reaching 50 years is an achievement in itself. Remaining relevant, respected and innovative after that time is something far greater.
The EIGER TOWER system is a testament to POP UP Products’ commitment to leading the field in access solutions. It represents a legacy of practical innovation, industry influence and continuous improvement.
As the industry continues to evolve, one thing remains constant. The foundations laid in 1971 are still supporting safer, smarter work at height today.
