2600 SERIES
SCAFFOLD TOWER
ERECTION PROCEDURE
This procedure is for assembly of mobile towers with decks typically at 2m intervals, up to 4m high.
Only certificated scaffolders are allowed to assemble towers over 4m high and must comply with local
statutory regulations, which may differ from state to state.
1. For mobile scaffold insert castors into two base
frames and lock adjustable nut together with
wingnut (castors are adjustable). For non-mobile
scaffold, insert adjustable bases into two base
end frames.
2. Attach at least one horizontal brace (yellow)
to the frame upright just above the first rung with
the brace locking mechanism facing outwards.
Once you hear an audible click, the frame is
now self-supporting. See Fig. 1
3. Add another horizontal brace (yellow) to existing
frame, then stand up the opposite base frame and
attach the other two horizontal braces (yellow).
4. Install a plan brace (red for 1.2m and greater frame
width and green for 0.7m frame width) to diagonally
opposite uprights, below the first rung.
5. Install two diagonal braces (blue) and a temporary
platform on the bottom frame rung to stabilise the
base frames (typically 2m high).
6. Check with a spirit level that the scaffold base frames
are square and level, in both horizontal and vertical
directions. If required, adjust the castors or base
plates. See Fig. 2
7. Install the next end frames on top of each of the two
base frames and install the diagonal brace (blue)
above and below the joining point of the base end
frames, with the braces locked in opposite direction
from each other.
8. Move temporary platform to approximately 1m from
the ground between both end frames. See Fig. 3
