These values are indicative, therefore, if there is doubt, the carrying capacity must be established by
means of suitable tests. For cement floors, bridges, etc. it must be requested from the manufacturer.
The frame of the platform must be in a perfectly horizontal position,
checking the level using an optical
level. (Max slope permitted 1° indicated by the black outer circle on the level)
