CHECK LIST, INSPECTION CARE AND MAINTENANCE FOR MOBILE
ACCESS TOWERS
•
All components should be inspected before use to ensure that they are not damaged or broken,
particularly the welds.
•
ANY damage to ANY part particularly tubular members, castors, platform decking MUST be
replaced.
•
Adjustable leg threads should be cleaned and lightly oiled.

All locking claws should be cleaned, and the locking mechanism checked for operation.
•
When storing your MAT, please ensure that all components are neatly stored and not left lying
around where they could be stood on or damaged.
•
When transporting the MAT always tie the components down so that they do not move around and
get damaged.
•
Should the tower be left unattended it should be tied to a suitable structure and on reuse ALWAYS
check that the tower is vertical and safe before ascending correct and complete structure.
•
The MAT is not designed to be lifted or suspended as a complete structure.

Always keep this instruction manual safe.

Broken, damaged or incorrect components must never be used. The equipment shall be quarantined

WIND EFFECTS
•
Beware of high, gusty, or moderate breeze conditions in exposed areas. It is recommended that in
wind speeds over a Moderate Breeze (see Beaufort Scale below) that work on the tower is stopped
and reassessed. If the wind becomes a Strong Breeze, (see Beaufort Scale below) the tower should
be tied to a rigid structure. If the wind is likely to reach Gale Force (see Beaufort Scale below) or
over, work should be stopped, and the tower should be dismantled.

Beware of tunnelling effect caused by open ended buildings, uncladded buildings and building
corners.
