B. 

WIND SPEED SAFETY RULES 

1. 

Beware of high winds in exposed, gusty or medium breeze conditions. We recommend that in wind speeds over 20.0 km/h, 
cease working on the tower and do not attempt to move it. If the wind becomes a strong breeze, expected to reach 31.0 km/h, 
tie the tower to a rigid structure. If the wind is likely to reach gale force, over 52.0 km/h, the tower should be dismantled. 

2. 

Wind force can be magnified by the tunneling effect of open ended building and unclad building 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

C. 

LIFTING OF EQUIPMENT 

1. 

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.

 

2. 

Assembled mobile towers should not be lifted with a crane or other lifting device.

 

 

D. 

STABILISERS / BALLAST 

1. 

Stabilisers or outriggers and ballast weights shall always be fitted when specified. 

2. 

The Quantity Schedules show the recommended stabilisation. In circumstanced where there is restricted ground clearance for 
stabilisers/outriggers, contact your supplier for advice. 

 

E. 

MOVEMENT

 

1. 

The tower should only be moved by manual effort, and only from the base. 

2. 

Do not move the mobile scaffold tower with vehicles (e.g. lift trucks). Do not lift, pull or push the mobile scaffold tower with a lift 
truck. 

3. 

When moving the tower, always beware of any live electrical apparatus, overhead cables or moving parts of machinery. 

4. 

Ensure that the platforms are free of persons and equipment and that brake locks are off prior to movement. 

5. 

Caution should be exercised when wheeling a tower over rough, uneven or sloping ground, taking care to unlock and lock 
castors. If stabilizers are fitted, they should only be lifted a maximum 25mm above the ground to clear ground obstructions. 

6. 

The overall height of the tower when being moved, should not exceed 2.5 times the minimum base dimensions, or 4 metres 
overall height. 

7. 

Before use, check the tower is still correct and complete. 

8. 

After every movement of the tower use a spirit level to check that it is vertical and level and set the adjustable legs as required. 

9. 

Do not move the tower in wind speeds over 20 km/hour .
