Note: outdoors you may expand your scaffold to a maximum working height of 10 meters.
Indoors you may erect your scaffold to a working height of 14 meters and outdoors you may erect to a working height of 10 meters. If you need to erect your rolling scaffold higher than the specified maximum height, contact Wixor for specific guidelines and approvals to safely carry out your project.
The platform height is the height of the highest platform in the scaffold. This is the height from the ground to the platform. The working height is always 2 meters above the platform height indicates the height to which you can work. The scaffold height is the total height of the scaffold, measured from the ground to the highest point of the scaffold.
The mobile towers 190, 250 and 305 require two people to assemble the scaffold.
You can move a rolling scaffold by releasing the brakes and moving the scaffold. Make sure no one is on the scaffold and that the scaffold is broken down to a platform height of 6 meters.
A safety guardrail is used to build up the side protection of the new floor from an intermediate platform. This way you are always equipped with guardrails when you climb the new floor. In addition, a safety guardrail has the advantage that you can assemble your scaffolding faster!

Stabilizers
Stabilizers are mandatory from a platform height of 2.5 meters.
When placing a mobile tower less than 15cm from the facade, you are required to use two stabilizers. When the mobile tower is further than 15cm from the facade, you should use 4 stabilizers.
You rotate a stabilizer at an angle of about 135° to the mounting frame.
Safety
You should never climb the rolling scaffold from the outside. Always climb your rolling scaffold from the inside.

If you need special requirements, please contact Wixor to see what is possible.
