6.6. Mobile guards
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 on hip and knee level, is fitted
before entering and standing on the platform.
Custers Mobile Guard leading guardrail frames:
are moving along with you during assembly and disassembly of the scaffolding from
the one to the other level;
offer protection until the moment the definite guardrails are positioned;
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;
on the working platform they can be used as permanent guardrails if combined with
correctly positioned knee rails.
During the assembly phase of the mobile scaffold tower, the Mobile Guard guardrail
frames must be used as follows (complete assembly sequence, see relevant sections):
