  • Page 4: Introduction

    Introduction The Equiptec Giraffe G20 (G20) is designed to facilitate easy and simple stair access to a variable height platform. It incorporates a large cantilever to allow the platform to be positioned over obstacles, and thus provide a deck that is sturdy, and as ergonomically safe as possible to work from. The G20 has a wide variety of Standard Accessories that can be added to it, and therefore can be Customised in different ways.

    Safety Requirements Positioning the G20 4. The standard issue castor wheels are not designed to roll over obstacles. If the surface of the area the G20 is to be moved across is soft, has larger stones, objects or debris in the G20’s path, or for any reason the G20 cannot be moved by manual pushing/ pulling, it is recommended to shift the G20 with a forklift using the forklift pockets provided.

    Safety Requirements Using the G20 (see also ‘Operation’) 5. In its standard configuration, the G20 deck has 3 access gates to facilitate access to/from a work surface if required. These gates must remain shut except when walking through them. Do not use these gates if there is not a flat surface immediately beyond it that has been certified to be of sufficient strength to support your weight and has sufficient,...

    While these checks are relatively simple, it is recommended that they are carried out by qualified tradespeople. If the Owner does not wish to carry out any particular service or task themselves, Equiptec may be able to arrange for an authorised Equiptec Distributor to visit the Site and perform these tasks, however, the Distributor may charge for this service.

    Upload any photos of any damage Note: Once photos of any damage are uploaded, check with Equiptec before continuing to operate a damaged unit. It must be ascertained if the damage will compromise safety, strength, or the smooth functioning of the G20.

    Hydraulic Ram needs bleeding (usually causes a soft “spongey” lift that does not go to full height easily). See Instructions in “Hydraulic System” section below 8. Check for any excess movement (either fore/aft or lateral) of the deck when fully elevated. Contact Equiptec for advice if any issues come to light.

    Check the condition of all Rollers# Note: Use a safe platform ladder such as an Equiptec Squirrel to access the Side Panel Top Covers and remove them. # Note: Check Roller condition carefully especially if the environment the G20 is operating in is dusty or abrasive in any way.
