Hi all you hard working scaffolders out there, I'm not a scaffolder but have had a free standing loading tower erected to train telehandler operatives.
I was given the drawing and handover cert, however, the cert only stated a SWL of 1.5 tonnes maximum, I'm happy with this, but some jobs worth in the company has asked for the standard and calculations. I presume the standard would be heavy duty, but how did the erector calculate the SWL and come to 1.5 tonnes. I have gone back to the erector, who politely told me to go jump.
