applicable for the smaller mobile access & working towers , like for example folding towers .
The EN 1004-2 standard describes what needs to be included in the assembly- and user instructions . It also describes the allowed assembly methods . It is not allowed to stand on the platform before guardrails are present . That means that the 3T ( through the hatch ) assembly method is the minimum safety level .
What does this mean for you ? Are you already using the Safe-Quick ® advanced guardrail system , then there won ’ t change a lot except for adding an extra platform level in certain mobile access towers configurations to reduce the distance between the ground and the first platform level to 3,40 m or less .
In case you are using mobile access towers the traditional way , then the new standard will have a bigger impact . Consult your account manager to discuss the possible effect and how to convert your tower to meet the newest standard .
In case you are using Altrex folding towers , you can easily get your tower up-to-date by adding a single horizontal ( guardrail ) brace and a set of four mini stabilisers .
Do you have plans to buy new mobile access and working towers ? You can be assured that Altrex mobile access and working tower configurations will be equipped with the necessary upgrades to meet the newest standard .
