Inspection Care & Maintenance
Alto Access equipment is designed and manufactured to the highest standards in the industry and is
stronger, more robust and safer than any comparable competitor product. Properly cared for, it will give
a long and productive service life.
· The equipment should be inspected and maintained as outlined in the “ALTO MD Tower Inspection
Procedures”. A free downloadable copy is available at www.altoaccess.com/downloads.
· Equipment should always be inspected before and after each use.
· Whilst Alto Access equipment is extremely robust, care should be exercised in loading, transporting
and handling components to avoid damage or injury to either the equipment or persons.
· Repairs should only be carried out by Lakeside Industries Limited or their authorised repairers.
· In case of any doubt as to the integrity of any items of Alto Access equipment, the part should be
withdrawn from use, quarantined and subject to detailed examination to determine whether repair
or replacement is required. If returned to the factory, Lakeside Industries Limited will provide a free
of charge evaluation of any damaged components.
Safety
Check that all of the necessary components and equipment for the particular tower configuration to be
built are on site, undamaged and functioning correctly. Damaged or incorrect components must not be
used.
· Check that the surface on which the tower is to be located is capable of supporting the tower and its
payload.
· The safe working load of the tower is 350 kg including its own weight. The maximum safe working
load of any individual platform is 200 kg evenly distributed.
· Towers must always be climbed from the inside using the built in ladders only. If the work carried
out from the tower requires frequent carrying of equipment and materials up or down the tower, an
Alto stair tower should be used in preference to a ladderspan tower.
· The tower must be levelled when erected using the adjustable jack or castor legs.
· It is recommended that the tower be tied in when left unattended.
· Never use other makes or types of tower component when assembling an Alto Mini Tower.
· The Alto Mini Tower has been designed for single person use. If the tower is to be used with two
operatives, larger stabilisers or suitable alternative stabilisation methods must be used.
