WernerCo is leading the way and taking steps
in the tower industry with the roll out of the
new EN1004-1 product standards . The changes ,
which will ensure all mobile access towers
comply to create a safer working at height
environment , will come into force in November
2021 following a 12-month transition period .
The standards will cover what materials ,
dimensions , design loads , safety and
performance requirements mobile access
towers should conform to . Under the scope
of the changes , towers up to 8m externally
and 12m internally will still be covered , but
now those under 2.5m will be included in the
standard . Including additions and clarifications
of existing guidance , the key points of the
revision ensure that there is a reduction in
the distance between platform levels , more
safeguards included on towers including
additional windlocks on decks , scope for
product innovation and new guidance on wind
and gust loads .
