Full assembly instructions are provided when you choose alloy access tower hire for use in Attercliffe. 

Useage Checklist:

Before starting to use one of these items of non powered access equipment we recommend you go through and use this checklist. 

• Inspect all components prior to erection / assembly
• Inspect all of the tower prior to using it
• Ensure it is upright and level
• Check all castors are locked and legs correctly adjusted
• Ensure all braces are in-place
• Ensure all outriggers and stabilisers are fitted as specified
• Make sure the platform is located and windlocks are on
• Make sure all hand and guardrails are in-place
• Ensure the safety toe boards are fitted

Competent Assembly:

When you choose to use the service of mobile access tower hire the operative assembling the tower should be qualified or competent in doing so. 

Moving the access tower: 

When assembled and in place, the tower should only be moved by manual effort, and only from the base. If you should choose to move the access tower please beware of live electrical apparatus and fixtures, especially any that might be overhead, plus any wires, cables, or moving parts of any machinery. 

When moving an alloy access tower no operatives or personnel should be on the tower, the same applies for materials, power tools, and other items that may be on the units platform. These all need removing before the tower is relocated. 

If an alloy tower needs moving over uneven or rough ground caution should be taken, especially with unlocking and locking the castors. If any stabilisers are fitted they should only be lifted a minimum amount to clear any ground obstructions. Another rule is that if a tower is moved whilst being in an assembled state, the height of the access tower should not exceed 2.5 times the minimum base dimensions. If it is greater in height than this, the scaffold tower should be dismantled and re-assembled in it's new required location instead. 

Safety during use: 

Whilst using an alloy access tower at your Attercliffe property or site in Sheffield you should be aware of high winds in exposed, medium breeze, or gusty weather conditions. If wind speeds should exceed 17mph you should cease working on the access tower. If wind speeds are expected to reach 25mph the tower should be tied to a rigid structure. At wind speeds in Attercliffe of 40mph the tower should be dismantled.
