Inspection, care and maintenance
According to the regulations one must work safely at heights. On an ASC Mobile Tower, it is not
obligatory to wear extra fall protection (provided that the recommendations in this manual have
been followed).
Annual control
Your ASC Mobile Tower must be inspected for any defects annually by an expert. The ASC Group can
perform this control for you.
Self-inspection
The ASC Mobile Tower can be inspected by yourself. Before each use, always check the components
for any damage (see section 2.5). We certainly recommend larger companies to do a monthly
inspection of all components of the Mobile Towers and to record this inspection. If you are in doubt
about damage, consult an accredited inspector.
Damage
Examples of the most common damages on aluminium Mobile Towers:
Loszittende onderdelen: zit een haak of een sport los, dan is het frame afgekeurd.
•
Components: if a claw or a sport is loose, the mobile tower must be rejected.
•
Dents and or holes: if there is a big dent in the aluminium or even a crack or hole, the Mobile
Tower must be rejected.
•
Contamination: if there is too much concrete, paint or other non-removable contamination
on the components, the Mobile Tower must be rejected; after all, you can no longer judge
whether the components are still intact.
What to do in the event of damage
If there is any damage, which cannot be repaired, the component must be taken out and replaced.
If repairing is possible, please contact ASC Group for further information.
Repair
Transport
•
Always transport the components in accordance with the locally applicable legislation.
•
Stack the components correctly for transport; never place the heavy components on top.
•
Transport the components of a Mobile Tower, preferably standing, f.e in a carrier.
•
Handle the material with care. Do not drop components onto a hard surface; this can reduce
the quality of the material.
Maintenance
Ensure that the material is clean, in particular the locking pins. The frames must be assembled and
disassembled easily.
Storage
Store components of the Mobile Tower preferably in a dry, clean, dark and frost-free place.
Repairing a component must be carried out by a certified body or person.
