FOLDABLE WORKING PLATFORMS AND ACCESSORIES GENERAL INFORMATION Your benefits at a glance: G Can be utilised as working or protective scaffolding Can be utilised to support wall formwork Standard platform lengths: 1.50 m – 2.00 m -2.50 m – 3.00 m – 3.50 m Right-hand and left-hand corner platforms can be supplied Corner platforms can be used with both inside and outside corners Universal corner platform for restricted conditions Tread width: 1.50 m; wooden parts made from timber grades customary in trade Platform can be raised unproblematically without other accessories All steel components are...

FOLDABLE WORKING PLATFORMS AND ACCESSORIES ADVANTAGES ADVANTAGE NO. 1: big lateral tolerance inside the anchor point Suspension shoe The reality on sites shows that an exact installation of the anchoring points to within a millimeter is not always possible. For this reason the ROBUSTA-suspension shoe offers a lateral tolerance of + 2.5 cm = 5 cm. – The premounted working platform can be hung on without any problem also when the anchoring points are inexact. Detaildrawing: the necessary tolerance for the fixing in the suspension shoe technical data see page 21 ADVANTAGE NO. 2: practical anchoring...

FOLDABLE WORKING PLATFORMS AND ACCESSORIES ADVANTAGES The folding mechanism enables spacesaving storage and easy transport. Stable guide-plates guarantee a secure hold of the piled working platforms. Side protection and base frames are folded in a space saving way. All swivelling parts lock themselves into the final position automatically. Highest piling for truck transportation = 7 working platforms, equal to H = 2.45 m ADVANTAGE NO. 3: self locking automatic safety folding mechanism The rigid base frames are fixed to only 2 joints. Because of that a high stability is reached at a very small...

FOLDABLE WORKING PLATFORMS AND ACCESSORIES ADVANTAGES ADVANTAGE NO. 5: universal corner solutions One foldable working platform system for outer- and inner corners Utilization as outer corners: corner ”lefthand“ corner ”righthand” locking slides locking slides The universal corner working platform, based on a 3.00 m working platform with a cantilever of 1.50 m to the lefthand or righthand side can be used for all rectangular outer- or inner- corner areas. If the working platforms are used as outer corners, the stabilizing is done with locking-slides, which secure the corner platform onto the...

FOLDABLE WORKING PLATFORMS AND ACCESSORIES ADVANTAGES ADVANTAGE NO. 5: universal corner solutions If the corner working platform is hung up without working platforms next to it, for example on the front side of a wall, the stabilization is done with a securing hook, which is mounted to the insertion rail. The bracing of the base frames results from 2 standard scaffolding tubes with turning couplers for diagonal bracing. Outer corner for use in narrow areas: Uni-outer corrner platform Uni-inner corner platform adjusting platform (if necessary) If the standard corner working platforms with 4.50...

FOLDABLE WORKING PLATFORMS AND ACCESSORIES ALLGEMEIN ADVANTAGE NO. 6: hinged side rail posts, also with extension The additional insertable side rail post enables the extension of the side protection from 1.05 m to 2.00 m. For the user the following advantages result: – Edge protection for roof work according to relevant regulations. – Two supporting railing tubes offer higher stability against striking loads. – Complete side protection is permanently available already during the mounting. – For an enlargement of the catching width of the working platform the whole side protection can be hinged...

FOLDABLE WORKING PLATFORMS AND ACCESSORIES ADVANTAGES ADVANTAGE NO. 7: wall formwork with automatic protection The maximum height of the wall formwork is 4.50 m for the wind load 0.2 kN/m2. The forces imposed by the push-pull prop onto the bracket are held by the bracket alone without any additional propping to the horizontal concrete slab. For the safe installation and support with push-pull props only two accessory parts are necessary. This means: minimum effort for maximum security! Screw-in set A nut with a D&W-thread is fixed in the steel frame of the bracket. This guarantees an uncomplicated...

FOLDABLE WORKING PLATFORMS AND ACCESSORIES ADVANTAGES ADVANTAGE NO. 8: extension girder for use at office buildings with pier façades Extension girder In construction work at buildings without external walls the extension girder makes it possible to extend the base frame of the platform to lean against the edge of the horizontal slab below. The mounting is easy and quick with 2 crossbolts. Diagonal struts are not necessary. The well planned technique enables an easy mounting with highest possible flexibility. That way floor heights up to 4.30 m can be scaffolded without any problems. The 3 m...

FOLDABLE WORKING PLATFORMS AND ACCESSORIES ADVANTAGES The long base frame was developed especially for the demands in brickwork construction as a catch- and security platform. The special advantage for the user is, that the long base frame can be used for the classical concrete work. To reduce the falling height when doing brickworks the working platform can be placed higher to 1 m with the additonal pair of hooks without any additional spare parts necessary. That way, at a floor height up to 4 m, the falling height will be reduced to the permissible height of 3 m, inexpensively and without any...
