5.2-4 Railing Maintenance and Repair

Skyjack MEWPs have been designed to make sure
compliance with the relevant design standards
applicable for that particular unit at the time of
manufacture. As such, any repairs made to the
guardrail or basket structure need to make sure this
compliance is not compromised and must return the
structure to its original condition.
Any damage must be repaired by returning the railing
assembly to its undamaged state. Damage includes,
but is not limited to, the items listed below:
bent/deformed guardrail sections
▪
cracks or broken welds in railing sections
▪
damaged pin connections
▪
missing pins or broken pin lanyards
▪
missing railing hardware
▪
loose or missing parts
▪
additional holes in guardrail sections other than
▪
those approved by Skyjack
5.2-2 Install
Additionally, the guardrails must be properly positioned
and secured, and the entry gate must be in good
working order.
The strength of the guardrail system, and therefore
its ability to provide fall protection for platform
occupants, depends upon the design being secure
and undamaged.
Skyjack railings are designed for modular
replacement, and Skyjack recommends replacement
of any damaged railing section. Skyjack-approved
replacement parts will meet this requirement.
