What is the warranty of my ladder?

Do you have replacement parts available for my ladder?

We have small replacement parts available, such as feet caps and some bolt/hinge assemblies.

What standard do our mobile towers comply with?

AS/NZS 1576

At what height are guardrails required?

When the work platform is over 1m in height or where a fall could result in serious injury even below 1m platform height. Some H&S managers will specify handrails below a platform height of 1m. Handrails can be fitted to any tower at any height.

Does my tower need a toeboard?

Toeboards are mandatory for platforms of 2m or higher to prevent accidental dislodgement of tools/equipment. This will be included in our Tower Packs when required for compliance.

Do I need certification/training to erect my tower?

Certification is only required when the tower platform is higher than 5m. In this situation, a ticketed scaffolder would need to erect your tower. We do recommend/offer training for any of our Easy Access gear, however, this is only best use training and will not certify you.

Can I purchase components individually?

Yes, any components can be purchased individually.

Can I purchase just a replacement wheel for my castor?

No, we only sell these as a complete castor assembly.

Do I need a handrail when I’m working against a house?

Yes, where it is more than 300mm away from the building face, you will need a handrail.

How do I remove my standard Mini Mobile castors from my tower to replace with the adjustable castors?

We recommend using a 19mm spanner to loosen the bolt from under the ‘housing’ of the wheel. The bolt is then knocked vertically upwards, which loosens the nylon spigot inside the scaffold tube.
