TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
Transport the safety trestle to the work area by either wheeling it or lifting and carrying it.
The safety trestle should always be wheeled to the work area if possible – only lift and
carry the safety trestle if it cannot be wheeled safely. Wheel the safety trestle only across
smooth surfaces. If the surface is rough or uneven, lift and carry the safety trestle instead of
wheeling it.
Jolting caused by the wheels catching on uneven surfaces can cause physical strain
and personal injury.
1. How to wheel the safety trestle
1. Make sure the safety trestle is rolled on flat and smooth surfaces. If the surface is rough
or uneven, lift and carry the safety trestle instead of rolling it.
2. Pull the lever up to raise the forefoot from the ground. Now the safety trestle can roll
freely on its wheels.
2. How to lift and carry the safety trestle
1. Determine the lifting points on the safety trestle. Hold the grey frame to carry the safety
trestle.
Never lift the safety trestle by the transport lever or by the red lifting frame
2. Lift and carry the safety trestle. When possible, have someone help you lift and carry the
safety trestle.
DO NOT attempt to lift the safety trestle if you suffer any physical condition that
prevents you from lifting the safety trestle safely.
Store the safety trestle level, in a clean environment, preferably indoors and in a dry area to
protect the trestle from moisture.
Also protect your safety trestle from direct sunlight. Make sure that the room temperature
remains constant.
If the equipment is stored outdoors, be sure to lubricate all parts before and after use to
ensure the equipment stays in good working condition.
If you store the equipment in another environment please note that the internal workings of
the stands can be affected by high moisture, gravel or sand, salt, grit or other dust-laden air.
The trestle should have its inner components frequently cleaned, inspected and lubricated.
