MOVING A TOWER
If you need to move the tower to a new location or a new level, fully dismantle it an
rebuild it at the new location.
If moving the tower a small distance, remove all personnel, materials, tools and
everything else from the tower.
If the stabilisers can remain in position, reduce the tower to an overall height of
4m before moving. Raise the stabiliser’s legs so that the footpads are approximately
If the stabilisers need to be removed or repositioned (i.e. swung in to allow access
to a doorway) you must reduce the tower to a platform height of 2m. With help,
unlock all castors, move the tower, then re-lock the castors and vertically align the
tower using the adjustable legs ready for rebuilding to the required height.

STABILISERS
When using the tower against a wall, they may be positioned in
must be at least two thirds the height of the top working platform. When locating
stabilisers on the towers, maximum stability will be achieved by positioning at an
angle of 60 degrees. Extend the leg to achieve maximum leg extension and ensure
that the top coupler is positioned underneath the nearest horizontal frame tube.
Securely lock the top coupler before attaching the lower arm to the vertical frame
tube. Ensure that the rubber foot pad is in contact with the ground and that the
ground can support the weight of the tower and stabilisers.
GETTING STARTED
The Eiger 250 tower is available in two base sizes, 850mm by a 1.8m or 2.5m
platform length. The tower will be supplied with various height frames and you

BUILD PROCESS
STEP 1
Insert castor / adjustable leg
assemblies into base of two 4 rung
frames, allowing approximately
75mm of extended leg for levelling.
mechanism to lock the castors.
STEP 2
Fit a horizontal brace onto the vertical
frame tube of the 4 rung frame,
resting on the horizontal tube of the
second rung of the frame.
Ensure the brace trigger faces to the
outside of the tower.
STEP 3
ensuring brace hook again rests on the
second rung of the frame. Fit the second
horizontal brace as shown with hook
trigger facing downwards. Level around
base of tower using spirit level, making
adjustments as necessary to adjustable
legs until the frames have an inclination
no more than 1% from the vertical.
STEP 4
the hook to one side of the second
horizontal brace as shown.
STEP 5
Locate AGR panels on frames. Position
top hooks of AGR panels on horizontal
tubes of the twelth rung of the frames
before attempting to locate the
triggered hooks.
Ensure lower hooks are positively locked
onto the horizontal rungs and the AGR
lower horizontal tubes are inline with
the vertical tubes of the frames.

Stabilisers shall always be fitted where specified, these increase the stability as a

are arranged as shown in fig. 1
