Safety instructions (T1.1 – T1.13)

  1. It is important to determine the required working height in advance and to select the correct rolling tower/rolling tower configuration for this.
  2. The location of the rolling tower must be checked to prevent accidents during assembly, dismantling and moving with respect to:
    • A horizontal, flat and solid base;
    • The location must be free of obstacles;
    • Weather and wind conditions
    • Electricity cables (above ground)
  3. The scaffold must not be out of the perpendicular in excess of 1%. So at a height of 4 meters, the deflection can be max. 4 cm. Check this with a spirit level. The use of hoisting gear on or attached to the scaffold is not permitted; this can seriously affect the stability of the tower. Scaffold parts, tools and materials may only be brought up and down (to and from the work floor)  manually using a rope, for example
  4. An exception to this is working with the Altrex Shuttle lift system (RS5, MiTOWER)
  5. Check all parts for damage. Damaged or incorrect parts may not be used.
  6.  Only original Altrex parts, as described in this manual, may be used. The mixing of scaffolding components of different brands/manufacturers is not permitted because no strength and stability calculation has been carried out  on the relevant mix configuration.
  7. Never make constructive adjustments to the scaffolding.
  8.  The standard configurations in this manual are not calculated on the use of tarpaulins and/or advertising boards.
  9.  Never leave the rolling tower unsupervised. If the rolling tower must be left unsupervised, you have to make sure that unauthorised individuals cannot access it. Anchor the tower with 2 anchorage tubes (309106) if there is a  change that wind speed might exceed 4 Beaufort during the unsupervised period of time.
  10. Particular attention should be paid to using scaffolds when there is wind:
    • Maximum wind load: see chapter 2
    • Take gusts of wind into account
    • Take wind-sensitive areas into account, e.g. near open constructions/structures and at the corner of a building If the above cannot be guaranteed, the scaffolding must be moved to a wind-free location or dismantled.
  11. Lateral loads exceeding 30 kg resulting from work activities on the scaffold are not permitted. In the event of significantly larger forces, the scaffold should be anchored to the façade at 2 points every 4 metres. Each anchor point should be able to resist a load of 120 kg.
  12. Never access the tower on the outside and never stand on the braces.
  13. Triangle stabilisers and ballast must always be attached according to the configuration & ballast table.
  14. The hoisting, hanging or lifting of the scaffold is not authorised.
  15.  It is not permitted to increase the height of a platform e.g. with ladders, stepladders, boxes or any other object.
  16. Scaffolding in accordance with EN1004-1 is not designed for use as an anchor point for personal fall protection.
  17. Scaffolding in accordance with EN1004-1 is not designed for use as an access or exit to other structures or buildings.
  18. Scaffolding in accordance with EN1004-1 is not designed for use as roof edge protection.
  19. The distance between 2 platforms is not more than 2.25 m. An exception is the distance to the first platform with 3.40 m.
  20. Electrical danger. Assess all electrical hazards in the work area, such as conduits and other electrical equipment. Do not use the scaffolding where there is an electrical hazard.
  21. Note that only one platform level may be used as a working platform. This platform must be equipped with a hip rest, knee rest and toe board.
  22. Do not use the scaffolding if it is contaminated with, for example, paint, mud, oil, chemicals or snow.
  23. Do not use the scaffolding if you are not fit enough. Certain medical conditions or medication, alcohol and drug use may make it unsafe to use the scaffolding.

For completing the assembly of the RS TOWER 54, follow steps B and C of Annex T4.
For completing the assembly of the RS TOWER 55, follow steps B and C of Annex T5.

Control card

After assembly, the scaffold should be provided with a control card (clearly visible from the ground) on which the following information is entered:

  •  Contact details responsible person
  • Whether the scaffolding is ready for use
  • Load class and the equalized load
  • Whether the scaffolding is intended for indoor or outdoor use
  • Date of assembly

Check before use

  1. Check that the rolling tower is horizontal (check using a spirit level)
  2. Check that all wheels are on the brake.
  3. Check that the stabilizers are properly adjusted and make good contact with the ground.
  4. Check that the rolling tower is assembled in accordance with this manual and in conformity with the configuration and ballast table.
  5. Check that the environmental factors, such as swinging doors ,awnings that operate automatically, aboveground electrical cables, traffic and/or passers-by, etc., do not lead to dangerous situations.
  6. Check that the rolling tower can be used safely and that it is suitable for the intended purpose.

Weight and ballast

  • See Annex T12 for an overview of the total weight of the scaffold and the number of counterweights of 5 kg per wheelleg that should be used.
  • If ballast is required according to the ballast table, the number of weights mentioned is placed on each wheel post (all 4 corners of the scaffolding) [T2: part L]. For example, the table lists 2 ballast weights for a scaffold configuration. This means 2 weights of 5 kg = 10 kg on each corner of the scaffolding (10×4= 40 kg total). The ballast weight holders can be used for installing the ballast weight [T2: part M].
  • It is also permitted to apply the weights in an equivalent manner. For example, with an extra platform on the first rung and equip it with the weights.

Moving the rolling tower

The rolling tower may only be moved while observing the following conditions:

  1. Before moving the rolling tower, the height has to be reduced to a maximum of 6.2 metres.
  2. Do not move a rolling tower in winds exceeding 12.7 m/s (max. 6 Beaufort).
  3. When the rolling tower is moved, persons and/or materials may not remain on the rolling tower.
  4. Beforehand, checks should be made that the environmental factors, such as swinging doors, canopies, pits, automatically functioning awnings, aboveground electrical cables, traffic and/or passers-by, etc. do not lead to dangerous situations while the scaffold is moved.
  5. In order to move the scaffold, the stabilisers can only be raised to a maximum of 3 cm.
  6. Before moving the rolling tower, all wheels must be removed from the brake.
  7. Only move the scaffold manually in a lengthways direction, over a flat, horizontal and sufficiently load-bearing surface.
  8. After moving the rolling tower, check all the points listed in Section 7 “Before Using”.

Disassembly of the rolling tower

The scaffold should be disassembled following the instructions for assembly but in reverse order.

Inspection, Care and Maintenance

  1. Scaffolds used in a professional capacity must be inspected periodically by an expert. Local legislation and regulations may contain supplementary measures on top of this guide.
  2. Scaffold parts must be handled and transported with care in order to avoid damage.
  3. Storage should be organised in such a way that only undamaged parts, in the correct amounts, are available for assembly of the scaffold.
  4. Check all moving parts for correct functioning and check that these are not filthy.
  5. Check all parts for damage. Damaged, worn-out or incorrect parts may not be used. Replace these parts only with original Altrex parts. To prevent accidents, these parts must be mounted in the same way as the part that is replaced. Mounting (fastening) and/or repair are at your own expense and risk. Altrex shall not be liable for damage resulting from erroneous mounting and/or repair.
  6. Production code (JJ-WW) can be found on: braces, the tube, frames, the upright, platforms, inside platform beams, stabilizers and the outside tube.
