Quantity Schedule
850 Width Towers

The MAXIMUM SAFE WORKING LOAD (the combined weight of
the users, tools and materials) that may be placed on the tower is
the total weight less the self weight of the tower. The total weight
for the towers shown in the schedule is 950kg.
Example 1:
An 850 tower built using the 3T method with a 4.2m platform
height and a platform length of 1.8m has a self weight of 151kg.
950kg — 151kg =
799kg maximum safe working load
total weight self weight
(users, tools and materials)
Example 2:
An 850 tower built using the 3T method with a 11.7m platform
height and a platform length of 2.5m has a self weight of 408kg.
950kg — 410kg =
540kg maximum safe working load
total weight self weight
(users, tools and materials)
For greater heights and loads, consult Youngman for guidance.
PLATFORM LOADING
On an 850 tower a platform comprises of a single deck only. The
maximum safe working load (the combined weight of the users,
tools and materials) that may be placed on a platform is 275kg,
evenly distributed over the deck.
The quantities on
pages 11 and 12
,
will enable BoSS towers to
be built safely and therefore comply with the requirements of the
Work at Height Regulations 2005. They include double guardrails
to all platforms, and toeboards will need to be added if any levels
are used as working platforms and for storage of materials.
EN 1004 requires platforms at least every 4.2m, and these
measures will exceed that requirement.

There is no requirement for ballase on 850 towers if using stabilis-
ers as detailed in the table on page 12
MOBILE OUTRIGGERS
MP16 mobile outriggers can be used instead of SP15 telescopic
stabilisers respectively, as detailed below.
Mobile outrigger kits comprise:
STABILISERS
To improve rigidity, larger stabilisers can be used at a lower level
than shown in the table on
page 12.
