Building the Tower
2.1
Pre-Assembly Checks
•
Check overhead that the area into which the structure is to be erected contains
no obstructions, particularly electrical or radio radiation hazards. The structure
is conductive.
•
Ensure the ground on which the mobile access tower is to be erected is
capable of supporting the tower in use.
•
Check the surface is level within the 210mm range of the adjustable legs.
•
Adjustable legs should only be used for levelling purposes and never to gain
extra height.
•
Ensure distance from the ground to first climbing rung is less than 400mm.
•
Only climb the tower from the inside using the access method provided.
•
Tower scaffolds are not designed to be lifted or suspended.
•
This tower provides a work platform. It must not be used to access other
structures.
•
Ensure the safe working load on the structure is not exceeded.
•
Tools and materials should be lifted using a reliable lifting material (e.g. a strong
rope) employing a reliable knot (e.g. clove hitch) to ensure safe fastening and
always lift within the footprint of the prefabricated tower scaffold (i.e. within the
area bounded by the stabilisers).
•
Check this manual is available and its contents familiar to all those involved.
•
If assembling outdoors; check the forecast windspeed. The assembled tower
is certified to wind forces equating to 27mph, but handling components under
those conditions would be hazardous. Also consider the wind funnelling effect
of nearby buildings.
•
Towers greater than 8.2m platform height are for indoor use only.
•
This structure is designed to be self-supporting under the loading condition
requirements of EN 1004-1:2020 and does not require tying in. Consideration
should be given to potential wind conditions if the tower is left unattended.
