Safe Working Loads and Working Heights
(WAHR)
The total loading on the tower structure should not
exceed 360kg. Maximum platform height for indoor
and outdoor use is 4m.
3T Safety Standard - THROUGH THE TRAP
This is an approved method of tower construction
which, if carried out by a competent person,
complies with all current safety legislation.
Construction - basic principles
• Always install the trapdoor platform over the
ladder (if one is fitted).
• Ensure the trapdoor hinges to the
the tower (not the centre).
• Once the platform has been installed, climb, using
the approved method and SIT IN THE
TRAPDOOR OPENING.
• While seated, attach horizontal braces to the
frames to form guardrails on
BOTH SIDES OF
THE PLATFORM.
• See assembly instructions for specific placement
of guardrails.
• 2 braces are normally required each side -
although bracing frames can be used on the
outside if desired or specified in the instructions.
• Only when the platform is fully guarded is it safe
to stand up.
Dismantling
• Unlock the brace ends furthest away from the
trapdoor.
• DO NOT REMOVE BRACES UNTIL SITTING IN
THE TRAPDOOR.
REMEMBER - NEVER STAND ON AN
UNGUARDED PLATFORM
