This document is to be used in conjunction with the full user guide available from the
manufacturer or to download at bossaccesstowers.com/literature.
Safe use
Please read this guide carefully. Please note that diagrams are for
illustrative purposes only.
•
Check that all components are onsite, undamaged and that they are functioning
correctly - (refer to Checklist and Quantity Schedules in the user guide). Damaged or
incorrect components should not be used.
•
Check ground on which tower is to be erected and moved is capable of supporting the
tower.
•
The safe working load is 275kgs (606lbs), per platform level, uniformly distributed up to
a maximum of 550kgs (1213lbs), per tower (including self-weight).
•
Beware of horizontal forces (e.g. power tools) which could generate instability.
•
Maximum horizontal force equals 30kg.
•
Towers must only ever be climbed from the inside and using the rungs directly below the
trapdoor.
•
It is recommended that towers should be tied to a solid structure when left unattended.
•
Only use the adjustable legs to level the tower and not to gain extra height. Adjustable
legs should only ever be extended to minimum amount required to level the tower.
Lifting of equipment
•
Tower components should be lifted using a reliable lifting material (e.g. strong rope),
employing a reliable knot (e.g. clove hitch), to ensure safe fastening and always lift
within the footprint of the tower.
•
Assembled mobile towers should not be lifted with a crane or other lifting device.
•
Ensure the safe working load of the supporting decks an the tower structure is not
exceeded.
•
Tower components should be lifted using the BoSS SOLO700 assembly bracket.
Movement
•
The tower should only be moved by manual effort, and only from the base.
•
No person or materials should be on the tower during movement.
•
Caution should be exercised when wheeling a tower over rough, uneven or sloping
ground, taking care to unlock and lock castors. If stabilisers are fitted, they should only
be lifted a maximum of 25mm above the ground to clear ground obstructions.
•
The overall height of the tower when being moved, should not exceed 2.5 times the
minimum base dimensions, or 4 metres overall height with stabilisers fitted in the correct
position (whichever is the smallest). If stabilisers are not fitted in the standard position,
the overall height of the tower should not exceed 2m.
•
Before use, check the tower is still correct and complete.
•
After every movement of the tower use a spirit level to check that it is vertical and level
to within 10mm/m and set the adjustable legs as required.
•
Do not move the tower in wind speeds over 7.7 metres per second (17 mph).
•
Mobile access towers are not designed to be lifted or suspended.
NOTE: If the tower is moved, you MUST inspect prior to use.
Ties
For further information on tying-in a tower please contact your supplier or the manufacturer.
Maintenance - storage - transport
All components and their parts should be regularly inspected to identify damage, particularly
to joints. Lost or broken parts should be replaced, and any tubing with indentation greater
than 5mm must not be used.

Always fit as shown.
Ensure interlock clips on frame members are in the ‘locked’ position.
Ensure wind-locks are engaged before moving onto the deck levels.
Ensure horizontal braces and guardrails are fitted correctly.
Number of working platforms allowed
The
MAXIMUM SAFE WORKING LOAD
(the combined weight of the users,
tools and materials) that may be placed on the tower is 550kg.
Platform loading
The maximum safe working load (the combined weight of the users, tools
and materials) that may be placed on a platform is 275kg. This must be
evenly distributed over the whole platform level.
The quantity schedules shown in this user guide will enable the tower to
be built safely and therefore comply with the requirements of the ‘Work at
Height Regulations’. Folding toe boards will need to be added if any levels
are used as working platforms, or for storage of materials.
This tower system has been developed in accordance with EN1004 for
single person use. If the tower is to be used with two people,
SP10 stabilisers must be fitted in place of SP4 stabilisers.
