Frames & Braces
Brace Panels
Stabilisers should always be attached to the tower so as to maximise the base area of the tower structure.
Set the stabilisers so they form a square around the tower. The stabilisers must always be used.
Tying In
The Mini Tower is designed to be assembled to platform heights of 2.2, 3.2 or 4.2 metres.
It must never be built to a height that would exceed the freestanding working heights specified in
EN 1004-2004. If the tower is in a position such that it is unstable or is in danger of being unstable, it
should be tied into a suitable rigid structure.
Standard scaffold tubes and fittings can be used with the products. Ties should be spaced at no more
than 4m intervals. Ties must be rigid and be secured to both frame uprights. For further details
regarding tying in, please contact your supplier:

.
The Mini Tower is braced and guardrailed using prefabricated
side panels. These must always be fitted with the claws facing
outwards.
All brace panels are fitted with spring loaded pins that
automatically lock the panel into position when attached to a
tower. Hooks are linked at each end of the panel to allow both
hooks to be fitted or released simultaneously.
Brace hooks are spaced so that they facilitate correct
positioning of the panels and are retained in place by the end
frame rungs to prevent vertical movement.
Stabilisers
Frames
must
always be assembled with the
offset conical head fitting pointing inwards
towards the centre of the tower. The brace
used at the base of the tower must be fitted
with the brace hook facing downwards
