Repositioning
|
|
NOTICE During the planning phase, consideration should also be given to the repositioning order and the removal of the last platform! ▪ 'Passenger transportation' is forbidden! ▪ Use tag ropes for safe guidance throughout the entire repositioning operation. ▪ In general, the last platform is where there are access and exit routes for the regular work sequence. Vertical access is usually provided by stair towers or aerial work platforms. ▪ If there are window or door openings in the façade, then access can also be enabled through these façade openings. |

NOTICE ▪ Local regulations, or the result of a hazard assessment carried out by the erector, may necessitate the use of personal fall-arrest systems (e.g. safety harnesses) during repositioning. 
▪ When one platform is repositioned, this leaves exposed fall-hazard locations on the remaining units. Each of these openings has to be closed off with a side railing or a barrier set up at least 2.0 m short of the drop-off edge (see Sideguards on exposed platform-ends). 
▪ The personnel in charge of the repositioning operation are responsible for positioning the access prohibition barriers correctly. |

The FreeFalcon mobile fall protection mast permits a secure attachment point to be created for the safety harness. |

The platforms are normally lifted using suitable four-part lifting chains such as the Doka 4-part chain 3.20m.
Use the Transport fork 1.3t adjustable if the platform cannot be disengaged and lifted clear with a four-part lifting chain.

➤ Working from the second-last platform, disengage the anti-liftout guard of the last platform. The red lifting bow (A) must be shifted into the stand-by position (fixed in the short slot). 
➤ Re-lock the anti-liftout guard. |
