Advanced Guard Rail Alloy Scaffold Tower Hire

The design of this Advanced Guard Rail (AGR) Scaffold Towers lends itself to quick, easy assembly. Providing collective fall protection before the operator accesses the platform and cannot be removed before the operative descends from the platform. At Astley Hire we want to make available equipment with the highest possible safety standards. Advanced Guard Rail Scaffold Towers are recommended by PASMA and seen by the HSE as the safest form of Scaffold tower. This AGR scaffold tower provides the safest and quickest assembly and disassembly available. Early versions of Advanced Guard Rail towers were criticised by users for being difficult and time consuming to assemble. Not so with this system, component count is reduced, the parts are lightweight and easy to handle. This scaffold tower system is designed for easy and fast assembly and disassembly in such a way that the user always has the maximum fall protection.

 

Advanced Guard Rail Features and Benefits Tamper proof, Advanced Guardrails cannot be removed without descending and removing the platform first. Fewer components than braced towers reducing losses on site. Faster assembly with fewer components. Recommended by PASMA. Ergonomic easy to handle components Complies to EN1004. Correct Guardrail heights achieved every time. Collective protection before the operative accesses the platforms. The Advanced Guardrail Frame incorporates special Handhold bars to make lifting and positioning easy from the platform below. The diagonal members give excellent rigidity without the need for additional cross pieces. Note: AGR Scaffold Towers (advanced guard rail) are now being specified on Major Construction Sites in the UK as they fully comply with the requirements for "collective protection" in the Working at Heights regulations 2005

Advanced Guard Rail, AGR, Scaffold Tower Platform Heights

Safe Working Loads of Advanced Guard Rail, AGR, Scaffolding Towers

The Tower itself, regardless of size, has a maximum total SWL (Safe Working Load) of 1000kG. When determining the SWL for your tower, you must first deduct the tower's self weight from the overall SWL to give the maximum payload (users plus tools and materials). For example:

Tower weight at 1.2m = 75kG therefore SWL = 925kg

Tower weight at 12.2m = 364kG therefore SWL = 636kg

The Maximum weight loading on each working platform, evenly distributed, is 294kG. Do not exceed the platform working load and do not fit more than two platforms per tower.
