INTRODUCTION
This BOSS User Guide is designed to provide you with step by
step instructions to ensure your system is erected easily and safely
using the 3T (Through the Trapdoor) method. Before assembly,
please read the Safety Notes carefully.
The law requires that operatives must be competent and qualified
to erect the tower. If another person is involved, please pass on
these instructions.
For further information on the safe use of Mobile Access Towers
consult the PASMA Guide or EN 1298.

STABILITY: STABILISERS & OUTRIGGERS
Stabilisers are used when the tower is to be used
occasionally, frequent movement will require Outriggers.
Attach one stabiliser to each corner of the tower at approx.
45 degrees. Secure top clamp below castings, bottom
clamp as low as possible. If Clamp is obstructed, release
and move. Ensure clamps are rigidly fixed to limit
movement.
With SP10 and SP15 Stabilisers, extend telescopic leg until in
contact with ground.
When moving, check for obstructions and lock feet about
25mm off the ground, unlock castors, and move. After
moving, check all castors are in ground contact and lock
Stabiliser feet.

Boss Alloy Access
Towers
Designed to the European Standard
HD1004, the BOSS Alloy Tower provides
the ideal platform for light work.
Two versions are available: 1450 mm &
850 mm wide, each with either 1.8 m or
2.5 m deck lengths.
I
NTERNAL USE ONLY NUMBER OF WORKING PLATFORMS ALLOWED
The number of working levels is based on fully loading
9.2 m 10.2 m 11.2 m 12.2 m Additional
each single deck to the maximum of 275 kg. A deck is
7.2 m 8.2 m 9.2 m 10.2 m Lift 1.0 m
defined as a single unit, but a working platform can be
either one or two decks. The 275 kg limit applies to each
2 2 2 2
such working level, regardless of the number of decks.
2 2 2 2
Under normal circumstances only two such working
4 4 4 4
levels are
1 1 1 1
structures/lengths self-weight will be a limiting factor.
4 4 5 5 1
Maximum Safe Working Load for the tower structure is
18 18 22 22 4 950 kg.
13 15 17 19 2 Should heavier loads than these be required for
particular applications, your local Branch will be able to
1 1 1
provide guidance.
1 1 1
The quantities in the schedule will enable towers to be
4 4 5 5
built safely and therefore comply with the requirements
4 4 5 5
of the Work at Height Regulations 2005. They include
4 4 4 4
double guardrails to all platforms, and toeboards will
4 4 4 4 need to be added if any levels are used as working
platforms and / or for storage of materials.
4 4 4 4
BS1139 requires platforms at least every 4m, and these
272 286 320 334 34
measures will exceed that requirement.

2 2 2 2
heavier loads, consult your local HSS Hire for guidance.

BALLAST 850 LADDERSPAN: - Internal/External use.
4 4 4 4
Stabiliser requirements are based on calculations from
BS1139:
4 4 4 4
Above 8.2 m, the schedule is for internal use only.
For Internal use only, towers may be erected up to
258 270 289 316 19
12.2 m platform height without ballast.
I
NTERNAL USE ONLY
For External use, towers fitted with a 2.5 m length
platform must have ballast fitted as follows:
9.2 m 10.2 m 11.2 m 12.2 m Additional
7.2 m 8.2 m 9.2 m 10.2 m Lift 1.0 m
7.2 m platform height = 25 kg ballast
2 2 2 2
8.2 m platform height = 75 kg ballast
2 2 2 2
Ballast is used at the base to stabilise towers against
4 4 4 4
overturning. It must be of solid materials (i.e. not
4 4 5 5 1
water or loose sand) and should not be positioned to
18 18 22 22 4
overload individual legs. Ballast should be secured
13 15 17 19 2 against accidental removal, and be supported on the
lowest rung of the bottom frame.

4 4 4 4
SP10 stabilisers may be fitted up to 6.2 m platform height
Externally and 9.2 m Internally.

Fitting SP15 stabilisers at heights lower than these will
increase rigidity and provide additional stability.
