Questions

Platform height refers to distance between the ground & the top of the platfrom -where you stand on the tower. Working height is the estimated maximum height a person can comfortably reach while standing on the platform. This is usually around 1.5 - 2 metres.

So for example, if the tower's platform height is 8 metres & you can reach an additional 2 metres, the working height for the tower is approximately 10 metres.
