5.5 Leading guardrails and guardrail frames
In order to prevent falls during assembly and dismantling of the mobile scaffold tower,
leading guardrails or guardrail frames must be used. The basic principle here is that the
edge protection, consisting of at least one guardrail, is fitted before entering the platform.
Custers Safe Guard leading guardrail frames:
- are used in the scaffolding from floor height of 2m rather than separate horizontal
ledgers and diagonal ledgers;
- provide protection against falling, before entering the platform through the hatch;
- are fitted and removed from a secure place;
- are easy to handle and easy to apply.
During the assembly phase of the mobile scaffold tower, the Safe Guard guardrail
frames must be used as follows (complete assembly sequence, see relevant sections):
Place the two Safe Guard guardrail frames (with the claws falling over the rungs) from the
standing surface. Make sure that the claws fall properly over the rungs and click the
diagonal ledgers in place.
