Description
Here are the typical components for a Wide Span 1850 × 1500 mm aluminum scaffold tower configured with a 5.2 m platform height (approx. working height ~ 7.2 m). These align with South African suppliers such as EM Supply Direct, which list modular configurations for platform heights of 5.2 m in 1 m increments
🧩 Components Breakdown for ~5.2 m Platform Height
| Component | Quantity | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Series 7200 Four‑Rung Frames | 4 × (≈2 m) | Main ladder frames; combined to reach ~5.2 m platform height |
| Half Frames | Possibly 2 | Shorter units (≈1 m high) added if needed for height fine-tuning |
| Guardrail Frames (1 m high) | 2 | Provide perimeter railings at working level |
| Trapdoor Platforms | 1 | Internal access hatch located at platform level |
| Plain Platforms | ~2 | Solid working surfaces without trapdoors (depends on configuration) |
| Horizontal Braces (HB7) | ~6 | For lateral stability between frames |
| Diagonal Braces (DB2) | ~8–10 | Cross braces to stiffen and stabilize the tower structure |
| Lockable Swivel Castors | 4 × UCAST 200 | 200 mm wheels for mobility and secure placement |
| Triangular Stabilisers | 4 | Required for tower safety at >2 m platform heights |
| Lock Braces (L16 etc.) | As per spec | To secure brace connections and prevent displacement |
| Toe Boards | 1 set | 4 pieces to keep tools and materials from falling off the platform |
