Safety Protocol

Pre-Use Inspection Rules

Essential safety requirements prior to ascending any mobile aluminium scaffolding tower:

Ensure all 4 castor brakes are firmly locked before boarding.
Inspect horizontal and diagonal braces for positive snap-lock.
Deploy outriggers to ground contact before exceeding 2.4m height.
Never reposition or move a mobile tower with workers or materials on deck.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between working height and platform height?

Platform height is the physical elevation where the deck planks rest. Working height is the standard safety engineering term for the comfortable reaching height of an average worker standing on the deck, calculated as platform height + 2.0 meters (6.5 feet).

Q: When are outriggers (stabilizers) required on mobile towers?

Under EN 1004 regulations, outriggers become mandatory whenever the platform height exceeds 3 times the minimum base dimension outdoors, or 3.5 times indoors. For a single-width (0.8m) tower, outriggers must be attached once the platform exceeds ~2.4m outdoors or ~2.8m indoors.

Q: What is the maximum allowable height for a free-standing mobile tower?

According to EN 1004-1:2020 standards, the maximum free-standing platform height without structural wall ties is 8.0 meters outdoors (due to environmental wind pressure) and 12.0 meters indoors. Beyond these limits, towers must be securely tied to a rigid structural facade.

Q: What is the Safe Working Load (SWL) of Indoor Innovations platforms?

All Indoor Innovations aluminium scaffolding platforms are certified to EN 1004 Class 3, providing a distributed load rating of 200 kg/m² (2.0 kN/m²). A standard 1.8m × 0.8m platform supports up to 275 kg, while our 2.5m × 1.4m double-width platform deck supports up to 600 kg.
