Mobile Tower – 3T Method (Through The Trapdoor)
INTRODUCTION
Please read this guide carefully.
Please note that diagrams are for illustrative purposes only.
LOYAL mobile aluminium towers are light-weight scaffold towers used throughout the building and construction
industry for both indoor and outdoor access solutions where a stable and secure platform is required. Ideal for
maintenance and installation work or short-term access, the highly versatile towers provide strong working platform for
a variety of heights.
This User Guide provides you with step by step instructions to ensure your system is assembled easily and safely.
Using the 3T (Through The Trapdoor) method.
The law requires that personnel erecting, dismantling or altering towers must be competent and qualified to do so. Any
person erecting a LOYAL mobile tower should have a copy of this guide.
If you need further information, or any other help with this products, please contact:

TOWER DESINATION
PREPARATION AND INSPECTION
1. Inspect the equipment before use to ensure that it is not damaged and that it functions properly. Damaged or
incorrect components shall not be used.
2. Check overhead that the area into which the structure is to be erected contains on obstruction, particularly
electrical or radio radiation hazards. The structure is conductive.

A. SAFETY NOTES
1. Check that all components are on site, undamaged and that they are functioning correctly – (refer to Checklist &
Quantity Schedule). Damaged or incorrect components shall not be used.
2. Before erecting the tower, check that the location for the mobile access tower does not present any hazards during erecting,
dismantling, moving and safe working with respect to :-
Ground conditions, and must be capable of supporting the weight of the structure.
Level and slope
Obstructions (ground and overhead)
Wind conditions (current and potential).
3. The mobile scaffold tower only be erected on a horizontal level surface.
4. Lock all castors by pushing down brake levers. The brake levers may only be released for moving the mobile scaffold tower.
5. Adjustable legs should only be used for levelling purpose and never to gain extra height.
6. Check if the ground on which the mobile access tower is to be erected and moved is capable of supporting the tower.
7. The minimum of two competent persons are required to assemble and dismantle this mobile access tower.
8. The safe working load is 275 kg (606 lbs), per platform level, uniformly distributed up to a maximum of 950 kg (2100 lbs), per
tower (including self weight).
9. Towers must always be climbed from the inside using the built-in ladder during assembly and use.
10. DO NOT use boxes or ladders or others object on the platform to gain additional height.
11. Never bridge between a tower and a building unless specification and approved.
12. Do not brace yourself against the side guards when working.
13. Never jump onto platforms.
14. Towers greater than 8.2m platform height are for indoor use only.
15. Beware of the funneling effect of open ended and unclad building.
16. Debris netting or plastic sheeting should not be fixed to the tower without consulting your local supplier.
17. Raising and lowering components, tools, and/or materials by rope should be conducted within the tower base. Ensure that the
safe working load of the supporting decks and the tower structure is not exceeded.
18. Tools and materials may only be handed up, always taking the weight of the tools and materials into consideration so as not to
overload the working platform. The person handing the load up may only release the load when the recipient of the load is
holding securely in his hand.
19. The assembled tower is a working platform and should not be used as a means of access to other structures.
20. The maximum wind condition for moving the tower are Beaufort Scale 0-4 as described table (Page 4 Wind Speed Safety
Rules)
21. Beware of horizontal forces (lateral force) when using power tools, wash jet or other tools which could generate instability.
The Maximum horizontal force (lateral force) on a freestanding tower at platform level is 30kg.
22. Mobile towers are not designed to be suspended-please refer to your local supplier for advice.
23. Do not extend the platform height of the tower by the use of ladders, boxes or other devices.
24. Always beware of live electrical apparatus, cables or moving parts of machine
25. Before each use or re-use of the mobile tower check the tower is vertical. Check with spirit level and adjust legs as needed,
ensure the structure is still assembled correctly, and is complete. Also ensure no environmental change has affected the tower
(snow, wind, ice etc.); if so, correct as necessary before use.
26. This tower must not be used as an anchor point for Personal Fall Arrest Equipment
27. Only has One Working Platform at a time

Safety First
B. WIND SPEED SAFETY RULES
1. Beware of high winds in exposed, gusty or medium breeze conditions. We recommend that in wind speeds over 20.0 km/h,
cease working on the tower and do not attempt to move it. If the wind becomes a strong breeze, expected to reach 31.0 km/h,
tie the tower to a rigid structure. If the wind is likely to reach gale force, over 52.0 km/h, the tower should be dismantled.
2. Wind force can be magnified by the tunneling effect of open ended and unclad building
C. LIFTING OF EQUIPMENT
1. Tower components should be lifted using a reliable lifting material (e.g. strong rope), employing a reliable knot (e.g. clove
hitch), to ensure safe fastening and always lift within the footprint of the tower.
2. Assembled mobile towers should not be lifted with a crane or other lifting device.
D. OUTRIGGERS
1. Outriggers of the size specified in the quantity schedule should be fitted at the earliest opportunity.
2. The Quantity Schedules show the recommended outrigger footprint. In circumstanced where there is restricted ground
clearance for outriggers, contact your supplier for advice.
E. MOVEMENT
1. The tower should only be moved by manual effort, and only from the base.
2. No person or materials should be on the tower during movement.
3. When moving the tower, always beware of any live electrical apparatus, overhead cables or moving parts of machinery.
4. Ensure that the platforms are free of persons and equipment and that brake locks are off prior to movement.
5. Caution should be exercised when moving a tower over rough, uneven or sloping ground, taking care to unlock and lock the
wheels. If outriggers are fitted, they should only be lifted sufficiently above the ground to clear ground obstructions.
6. The overall height of the tower when being moved, should not exceed 2.5 times the minimum base dimensions, or 4 metres
overall height.
7. Before use, check the tower is still correct and complete.
8. After every movement of the tower use a spirit level to check that it is vertical and level and set the adjustable legs as required.
9. Do not move the tower in wind speeds over 20 km/hour.

1. This structure is designed to be self-supporting under the loading condition requirements of EN 1004-1:2020 and does not
require tying in. Consideration should be given to potential wind conditions if the tower is left unattended.
G. MAINTENANCE – STORAGE - TRANSPORT
1. All components and their parts should be regularly inspected to identify damage, particularly to joints. Lost or broken parts
should be replaced, and any tubing with indentations greater than 5mm should be put to one side for manufacturers repair.
Adjustable leg threads should be cleaned and lightly lubricated to keep them free running.
2. Brace claws, frame interlock clips, trapdoor latches and platform locks should be regularly checked to ensure they lock
correctly
3. Components should be stored with due care to prevent damage.
4. Ensure components are not damaged by excessive force when transported.

NUMBER OF WORKING PLATFORMS ALLOWED
The MAXIMUM SAFE WORKING LOAD (the combined weight of the users, tools and materials) that may be placed on the tower is
the total weight less the self weight of the tower. The total weight for the towers in the schedule is 950kg.
Example 1:
A 1450 tower built using 3T method with a 4.2m platform height and a platform length of 1.8m has a self weight of 157.4kg.
950.0kg －157.4kg ＝792.6kg maximum safe working load
total weight self weight (user, tools and materials)
Example 2:
A 1450 tower built using 3T method with a 11.7m platform height and a platform length of 2.5m has a self weight of 396.2kg.
950.0kg －396.2kg ＝553.8kg maximum safe working load

ASSEMBLY AND DISMAMTLING PROCEDURES
When building a L OYA L LadderspanTower
To comply with the Work at Height Regulations we show assembly procedures with platforms every 2 metres in
height, and, the locating of guardrails in advance of climbing onto a platform to reduce the risk of a fall.
All platforms feature double guardrails on both faces of either individual platforms or fully decked levels.
All guardrails should be 1 and 2 rungs (0.5m and 1.0m) above platforms.
Never stand on an unguarded platform positioned above the first rung of a tower. If your risk assessment shows it necessary,
you may also need to guardrail platform at this level.
Always start building with the smallest height frames at the base of the tower.

Where 3 frame heights are used in a tower, start with 2 rung frames at the base, with the 3 rung frames next and the 4 rung frames
on the top. Refer to the Quantity Schedules for detail.
The procedure illustrated shows 4.2m platform height tower starting with a 2 rung frame.
It is recommended two persons are used to build LOYAL Towers. Above 4m height, it is essential that at least two persons
are used. Only climb the tower from the inside.
1. Push wheel into adjustable wheel shaft (this may have been done prior to your tower being delivered). Push wheel / adjustable
wheel shaft assembly into the base on the 2 lower frame sections (size of lower frame sections will vary depending on size of
tower being built – please see table above). Lock all 4 wheels as shown in diagram as below.
We recommend that, for ease of levelling, a gap of 50mm is left between the bottom of the adjustable leg and the adjustment nut.
The adjustable legs are to be used for levelling purposes only and must not be used to gain extra height on the tower.
2. Fit one horizontal brace (RED) onto the vertical of the span frame and just above the bottom rung. Ensure that the claw of this
horizontal brace is facing outwards and the frame will now be self supporting.
Please note – all locking claws must be opened before fitting.

3. Position the ladder frame as shown below and fit the other end of the horizontal brace onto the vertical of the ladder frame just
above the bottom rung. Fit a second horizontal brace to the other side of the frames, just above the bottom rungs and with the
claws facing outwards to square the tower.
4. Fit 2 additional frames (span and ladder) and ensure that the interlock clips are engaged on all 4 joins (see below). Fit 2
diagonal braces (blue) in opposing directions, between the 1st and 3rd rungs of the tower assembly. And fit the next pair of
diagonal braces in opposing directions between the 3rd and 5th rungs of the tower assembly. Ensure that the frames are vertical
and level by checking with a spirit level and setting the adjustable legs as required.
IMPORTANT – Only use the adjustable legs to level the tower and not to gain additional height
5. Fit outriggers (see notes on page 25).

6. Fit a temporary fixed platform onto the lowest rungs of the ladder and span frames. Fit a trapdoor platform on the 4th rungs with
the trapdoor next to the ladder frame. Ensure that the trapdoor is positioned with the hinges towards the outside of the tower.
Climb the ladder, through the open trapdoor in the platform and, whilst seated in the trapdoor opening, fit horizontal braces to
the 5th and 6th rungs in that order. The horizontal braces on the outside of the tower should be positioned with the claws facing
outwards. The horizontal braces in the centre of the tower should be positioned with the claws facing downwards and directly
above the edge of the trapdoor platform. Remove the temporary fixed platform fitted earlier.
Do not climb onto the deck until all guardrails are in place.
7. Add 2 additional frames (ladder and span), and ensure that the interlocking clips are engaged.

8. Add 2 more diagonal braces, in opposing directions, between the 5th and 7th rungs of the tower assembly. If finishing at this
height (4.2m platform height), position the fixed platform to the 8th rungs of the tower. Position a trapdoor platform next to this,
and directly above the existing trapdoor platform. Ensure that the trapdoor is next to the ladder frame with the hinges towards
the outside of the tower.
Do not climb onto the deck until all guardrails are in place.
9. Fit horizontal braces to the 9th and 10th rungs in that order. All horizontal braces should be positioned with the claws facing
outwards. Add a single diagonal brace between the 7th and 9th rungs of the tower assembly as shown below. Climb the ladder
through the open trapdoor in the platform, and whilst seated in the trapdoor opening,
Do not climb onto the deck until all guardrails are in place.

10. Continue to add additional frames (ladder and span), interlock clips, diagonal braces, trapdoor platforms and horizontal braces
in the sequence detailed above. When the required height is reached, position the fixed platform followed by the trapdoor
platform alongside. Fit a single diagonal brace as shown in step 9 and the horizontal braces as before.
Do not climb onto the deck until all guardrails are in place.

Dismantling Procedure
12. To take down the tower reverse the building sequence. When removing guardrail braces, unlock the four claws furthest from the
trapdoor and then return immediately to the protected position within the trapdoor. You may then unlock the claws at the other
ends of the guardrails to remove them from the tower.
Outriggers
OUTRIGGERS
Attach one outrigger to each corner of the tower as shown. Ensure outrigger feet are equally spaced to form a square.
SP10 and SP15 telescopic outriggers must always be fully extended.
Position the lower clamp so that the lower arm is as closed to the horizontal as possible. Adjust the position of the top clamp to
ensure the outrigger foot is in firm contact with the ground. Ensure clamps are secure.
When moving the tower, adjust the top clamps to lift the four outrigger feet a maximum of 25mm off the ground and then unlock the
castor brakes. After moving ensure all four outrigger feet are repositioned in firm contact with the ground.
