Safety First
During use
●
Beware of high winds in exposed, gusty or medium breeze
conditions. We recommend that in wind speeds over 7.7
metres per second (17mph), cease working on the tower and
do not attempt to move it. If the wind becomes a strong breeze
(expected to reach 11.3 metres per second - 25mph) tie the
tower to a rigid structure. If the wind is likely to reach gale force
(over 18 metres per second - 40mph), the tower should be
dismantled.

●
Beware of open ended buildings, which can cause a funnelling
effect.
●
Do not abuse equipment. Damaged or incorrect components
should not be used.
●
Raising and lowering components, tools, and/or materials by
rope should be conducted within the lower base. Ensure that
the safe working load of the supporting decks and the tower
structure is not exceeded.
●
The assembled tower is a working platform and should not be
used as a means of access or egress to other structures.
●
Beware of horizontal forces (e.g. power tools) which could
generate instability.
●
The stairway towers, (featuring an inclined staircase access) are
for frequent use by personnel carrying tools and/or materials.
●
Mobile towers are not designed to be suspended - please refer
to your supplier for advice.
●
Do not use boxes or stepladders or other objects on the
platform to gain extra height.
