ALUBERG 770 vs. 1370 – A Guide to Choosing the Right Width

====================

ALUBERG mobile scaffold towers from manufacturer METIGO are available in two standard widths: 770 mm and 1370 mm. At first glance this might seem like a minor detail — but the width of a scaffold determines who can work on it, how large the platform is, whether it will pass through a doorway, and how much space it occupies on site.

If you're currently choosing an ALUBERG scaffold and aren't sure which width is right for you, this article will make the decision straightforward.

What Is ALUBERG?

ALUBERG is a range of mobile aluminium scaffold towers manufactured by Polish company METIGO. The towers are certified to PN-EN 1004 (the equivalent of European standard EN 1004) and are available in a wide range of configurations — various heights, standard or professional versions, with accessories for both indoor and outdoor use.

INTRAPOL is the exclusive representative of METIGO for the Czech market. ALUBERG scaffolding is held in stock within the EU and standard configurations are available for dispatch within 5 working days.

ALUBERG 770 — Narrow Version

The number 770 refers to the internal frame width in millimetres — the distance between the inner edges of the frames. The overall external width of the tower (including the vertical profiles) is slightly larger, but the working platform corresponds to this internal dimension.

Key specifications of ALUBERG 770:

• Platform width: 0.75 m
• Platform length: 1.8 m (standard configuration)
• Load capacity (load class 3): 200 kg/m²
• Maximum working height: configuration-dependent, typically up to 8 m (indoors)
• Certification: PN-EN 1004

Why choose ALUBERG 770:

Door clearance. A standard doorway has a clear opening of 80–90 cm. The ALUBERG 770 (external width approximately 85–90 cm depending on configuration) is designed to pass through or come very close to a standard doorway. If you need to move the tower from room to room without dismantling it, the 770 is the right choice.

Space saving. In narrow corridors, lift shafts, offices, or confined industrial spaces, a smaller footprint is a significant advantage. The 770 allows you to work in places where the wider version simply won't fit.

Solo work. For a single operator, a 0.75 m platform is entirely adequate. If you don't need a second person on the platform, there is no reason to pay for a wider version.

Lower weight. Narrower frames mean lighter components — the 770 is easier to carry and can be handled by one person.

Typical applications of ALUBERG 770: residential renovations, interior painting and plastering, electrical and plumbing work in residential buildings, work in spaces with restricted aisle widths.

ALUBERG 1370 — Standard (Wide) Version

The number 1370 refers to the internal frame width — the working platform is substantially wider and offers a greater working area.

Key specifications of ALUBERG 1370:

• Platform width: 1.35 m
• Platform length: 1.8 m (standard configuration)
• Load capacity (load class 3): 200 kg/m²
• Maximum working height: configuration-dependent, typically up to 12 m (indoors)
• Certification: PN-EN 1004

Why choose ALUBERG 1370:

Larger working area. A 1.35 × 1.8 m platform is substantially more spacious than 0.75 × 1.8 m. For work where more tools, materials, or two people need to be on the platform at the same time, the wider tower is the clear choice.

Two-person operation. Load class 3 (200 kg/m²) applies to both versions — but in practice, two people working comfortably on a 1370 platform is realistic, whereas on the 770 it would be cramped.

Taller configurations. The ALUBERG 1370 reaches greater maximum heights in standard configurations — up to 12 m indoors, compared with a lower ceiling for the 770 version. For work at greater heights, the 1370 is the appropriate option.

Stability at greater heights. A wider base means a lower centre of gravity and better stability at taller configurations. This is particularly relevant when working closer to the maximum permitted height.

Typical applications of ALUBERG 1370: industrial buildings and manufacturing facilities, facade work (where corridor width is not a constraint), work at greater heights, operations where two people work on the platform simultaneously.

Comparison Table

Parameter | ALUBERG 770 | ALUBERG 1370 -----------------------|-----------------------|--------------------- Platform width | 0.75 m | 1.35 m Platform length | 1.8 m | 1.8 m Load capacity | 200 kg/m² (class 3) | 200 kg/m² (class 3) Max. height (indoors) | lower configurations | up to 12 m Door clearance | yes (standard door) | no (too wide) Persons on platform | 1 (comfortably) | 1–2 Component weight | lower | higher Suitable for outdoors | yes (EN 1004 limits) | yes (EN 1004 limits) Typical customer | tradesperson, electrician | industry, construction

BLACK Professional Range

Both width variants are also available in the BLACK Professional range — a version specifically designed for intensive industrial use. The BLACK range differs from the standard version primarily through:

• Reinforced profiles for greater durability in daily operation
• Surface finish with higher resistance to mechanical damage
• Extended warranty and documentation for industrial audits

If you plan to use the scaffold daily or it will be shared between multiple users in a single shift, we recommend considering the BLACK range.

Quick Decision Guide

Do I need to pass through a standard doorway? → Yes → ALUBERG 770 → No or unsure → continue below

Am I working alone or will two people be on the platform? → Alone → ALUBERG 770 → Two people → ALUBERG 1370

What is the maximum height at which I'll be working? → Up to 6 m → both options are suitable → Above 8 m → ALUBERG 1370

Am I using this in an industrial setting with daily intensive use? → Yes → ALUBERG 1370 BLACK Professional
