The most common mistakes when working with formwork
9 September 2024
Indoor renovations require special height access equipment that does not need to be attached to walls, reaches almost to the ceiling without touching it, and can also be moved to another location. Scaffolding is not very convenient for interior work. But tower tours are just right!
The correct choice of a mobile tower will allow you to work efficiently and safely at height in high rooms. Even inside a building, falling from a height can cause injury. Providing a safe work area requires having the correct height access equipment, trained workers who follow safety precautions, and the use of personal protective equipment.
Inside a building, high-altitude equipment must often be moved, so towers of a suitable height, withstanding a sufficient load, and with swivel wheels are needed.
The tower should move easily, but the wheels should remain stationary during operation.
Limited interior space poses a challenge when choosing means of access to heights. In such conditions, the width, length and height of the tower are important. When it is difficult to maneuver or work in hard-to-reach places, you need to select a suitable tower-tour. For work in narrow corridors, a VIRASTAR COMPACT or VIRASTAR FORWARD tower is suitable. For spacious rooms it is convenient to use a 2x2 m Profi tower.
The load-bearing capacity of a tower tower is important when you need to lift materials and tools to the work site. Everyone knows about the heavy weight of building materials, so you need to calculate the workers’ own weight + the weight of tools and materials lifted up. Virastar towers can withstand a load of 200 kg/m2.
Safety should be a top priority when using a tower for indoor work at heights.
The stability of the tower is the cornerstone. The key to this is assembly in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Strict adherence to safety rules helps avoid accidents and guarantee a safe environment for indoor work.
Employees working at heights must be trained. Workers must know how to perform work at height safely, be able to identify hazards, and understand the health implications of hazards.
In addition, a tower used for interior work inside a building must have a certificate of compliance, which guarantees its reliability and safety for use.
VIRASTAR steel towers are designed for interior work, including:
VIRASTAR towers have certificates of compliance with DSTU, which confirms their reliability. Buying a Virastar tour tower means creating a safe working environment for effective productive work both indoors and outdoors.
