Instructions for Erection and Use5. Preparation of Erection

1. Determine the required standing height and select the appropriate Mobile

Scaffold Tower with the associated component requirements according to

page 35. Although components for a higher working platform are available,

the structure depends on the required height.

2. Prior to erection, it must be checked whether all parts (see tables on page

33) and tools required for the erection of the Mobile Scaffold Tower are avail-

able at the construction site. The same applies to eyebolts and plastic anchors

intended to be used for wall attachments. In addition, all components must

be checked for proper condition. Only undamaged original parts of the ALFIX

Mobile Scaffold Tower 5000 may be used. Damaged or defective parts must

be discarded.

3. For assembly and dismantling, at least two persons (with erection heights

above 6 m - three persons) and the following tools are required:

• Spirit level

• For standing heights above 4 m: rope with snap hook.

• Erection with tension-proof wall support: tool for setting the anchors

incl. mounting hardware (see Information of the anchor manufacturer)

4. Special features when erecting the Mobile Scaffold Towers 5001 and 5002:

• The castor wheels are to be directly plugged into the vertical frame

1.12 m (5001) and 1.96 m (5002) and connected to the side protec-

tion serving as bracing means.

• Subsequently, the platform is installed at the desired standing

height of 1 m (5001) or 1.65 m (5002).

• Access to the working level is performed using a stepladder.

• The ballasting, where appropriate, is set out on pages 23 to 27.

• Secure them with locking clips. See p. 31-32 “Tips & Tricks”

3. Bracing with diagonal braces

• The diagonal braces must be alternately hooked into the lower tube of the rolling beam.

• To install the diagonal braces, please refer to pages 31-32 “Tips & Tricks”

4. Fixing a platform with hatch-type access

• With types 5003 and 5005, the platform is to be suspended in the eighth rung above the first deck.

• With types 5004 and 5006 to 5012, the platform serves as an assembly aid and must not be hooked in at heights exceeding the seventh rung above the first deck.


ALFIX Mobile Scaffold Tower Series 50006.2 Assembly of working platform

5. Assembly of side protection

• Open the access hatch and sit on the opened hatch. The legs have to be stretched through the opening and rest on the rungs of the vertical frame.

• Do not enter the platform unless both side protection components are hooked in!

• Raise the side protection up and attach it first on one side. Check whether the claw coupler is released. Then pivot the other end to the vertical frame and latch it (cf. Item 9.5.5). Remain seated during this process. Side protection components are always installed from the inside between the second and fourth rung!

• Repeat this procedure for the second side protection.

• Now, you can enter the decking and close the hatch.


Instructions for Erection and Use6.2 Assembly of working platform

6. Bracing with diagonal braces

• Hook the diagonal braces into the same rungs where the “last” diagonal braces are attached, or, as described in Item 6.2.3, hook them into the lower tube of the rolling beam.

7. ... further vertical frames

• cf. Item 6.2.2

8. Suspending a platform with hatch-type access at heights not exceeding the seventh rung above the last platform

• The platforms must be alternately suspended!


ALFIX Mobile Scaffold Tower Series 50006.2 Assembly of working platform

9. Suspending the uppermost working platform

• The platform with hatch-type access must be alternately suspended with reference to the last attached platform. Its installation height must not exceed the fifth last rung.

• For assembling the platform, please refer to pages 31-32 “Tips & Tricks”

10. Suspending the side protection components

• The side protection above the uppermost platform must be installed from the inside, above the second and below the fourth rung.

• For assembling the side protections, please refer also to page 17 (cf. Item 6.2.5)

11. Installing and inserting the toeboards

• First, lean the two end toeboards against the frames. The attachments must be directed to the outside! Then insert the longitudinal toeboards into the slots provided by the end toeboards.


Instructions for Erection and Use6.3 Use of auxiliary assembly decks

1. Unhook the protection components referred to under Item 6.2.5 and re-install them between second and fourth rung above the uppermost platform.

• The platforms and side protection components remain within the Mobile Scaffold Tower at a height distance of up to 4 m. The assembly decks in between are dismantled and used again at a higher level.

2. Dismantling of guardrails

• Loosen the locking of guardrails on the opposite end of the access hatch.

• Similar to the assembly process, sit on the bottom with the legs stretched through the opening and resting on the rungs of the vertical frame.

• Then, unlock the two guardrail ledgers situated in the front and pass the released, dismantled double guardrail upwards in order to continue assembling or ...

• ..., for the purpose of dismantling, downwards.

3. Dismantling the platform

• After removing the guardrail, climb down to the next intermediate deck and close the hatch of the assembly deck.

• Then, you can pass the platform upwards or downwards.

• Installation of the platform and attachment of the guardrail, cf. Item 6.2.4 or 6.2.5.

• With the assembly level, the distance between two intermediate storeys is bridged, ensuring that during assembly and dismantling the 2.10 m distance will not be exceeded.

• An assembly level is formed from a platform with hatch-type access and two side protection guardrails.

• An assembly level can be removed after the erection of the intermediate storey and can be used again further above.


ALFIX Mobile Scaffold Tower Series 50007.1 Stabiliser

1. Assembly of chassis / base jacks

• Insert one castor wheel/base jack each into the stabilisers and tighten the winged screws at the spindle nuts in a way that their thread engages the boreholes of stabilisers.

2. Assembly of vertical frames

• Connect the stabilisers with their two couplers to the vertical frame (for coupler connection, see pages 31-32 “Tips & Tricks”). In the process, one coupler of each stabiliser must abut the underside of a rung. Then, turn out the castor wheel of each stabiliser so far that it rests on the ground. Tighten the wing nut (see also page 29 “Operating the castor wheels”).

3. Bracing with side protection

• The stabilisers are (as a reinforcement for the rolling beams) to be braced horizontally with the side protection against twisting. In this case, the side protection is positioned from above onto the centre rung of the stabiliser. Mobile Working Platforms with stabilisers may not be used without this bracing!

• It is possible for the base jacks, instead of castors, to be built into the stabilisers.

• In centre-type design with 4 stabilisers, one swivel coupler per stabilizer should be installed to prevent twisting.

4. Note :

• In the event of lateral erection, counterweights can be saved with almost all ALFIX Mobile Scaffold Towers through the use of stabilisers. See ballasting tables on pages 23 to 27.


Instructions for Erection and Use7.2 Wall support

1. Compressive wall support as an additional measure (without dowelling)

• This type of support is used with lateral structures, e.g. on a wall. It enables the speedy movement of the Mobile Working Platform. The wall support is connected to the vertical frame in the area of the working platform using a scaffold coupler. Upon connection, the tube end of the wall support abuts against the wall. Following a movement, one must check whether the tube still abuts the wall. If this is not the case, the wall support is to be newly set up. To avoid damage to the building, we recommend the use of a suitable damping aid between the wall and the tube end of the wall support. To connect the coupler, please refer to pages 31-32 “Tips & Tricks”.

2. Fixed wall support as an additional measure

• This method is used to firmly fasten the Mobile Working Platform onto the wall. An anchor/dowel is inserted into the wall and provided with an eyebolt Ø 12 mm (e.g. with a wood screw thread for plastic anchors). Thereafter, the hook of the wall support is hooked into the eyebolt. Then, the tube of the wall support is connected to the vertical frame by means of scaffold coupler. To connect the couplers, see pages 31-32 “Tips and Tricks”.

• The selection of the anchor type and size, as well as the anchor installation is carried out in accordance with the instructions of the anchor producer, taking into account the anchor base.
