Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Applicable requirements may include EN 1004-1 and EN 1004-2 for mobile access towers, EN 12532 and EN 12527 for industrial castors and testing, and ANSI/ASSP A10.8 or OSHA 29 CFR 1926.452(w) where applicable. Compliance depends on the complete scaffold system and local regulations. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Individual scaffolding casters are not normally type-approved by DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, BV, or ClassNK. Acceptance is generally based on manufacturer certification, rated load data, complete scaffold-system requirements, and shipyard or project specifications. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Install only on compatible scaffold tubing or frames using the manufacturer's specified fittings. Verify rated load, wheel diameter, axle arrangement, and frame compatibility. Engage all brakes and locks before personnel access, and use only on firm, level surfaces. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect wheels, axles, bearings, brakes, locks, mounting fittings, and welds before each use. Remove marine contaminants, lubricate serviceable bearings as specified, and replace components showing cracks, excessive wear, corrosion, or reduced braking performance. |
| Safety Notes | Do not move a scaffold while personnel, tools, or unsecured materials are on it unless specifically permitted by the applicable scaffold system instructions. Keep the structure within its rated height-to-base ratio, prevent overloading, and stop use if a caster brake or locking device is defective. |
