Diagram: A Typical 6.0m High Wide Scaffold
Description of the scaffold diagram: The scaffold consists of a base with
adjustable wheels, several horizontal braces (yellow), toeboards, and diagonal
braces (blue). There are ladders for access (omitted for clarity in the
diagram), closed platforms, and a platform with a hatch. Guardrails are
present at the top, and adjustable stabilisers are attached at the base.
Important Safety Information
IMPORTANT: It is the operator’s duty to inspect the components for damage
before each use. Avoid contact with acid as this will damge the aluminium
beyond repair. Avoid leaving the platform out under constant sun’s light and
rain to prevent delamination.In accordance with Australian Standard 1576 the
operator requires a scaffold ticket to erect scaffold above 4 metres standing
height.
Note: The double-width tower sold does not have an inbuilt ladder.
Ladders are sold separately. Reference: SAAS, 2014.
