The Safety Stand is a service platform specifically designed for crank-up towers. It provides a large (12”x36”) surface to stand on while doing rotator, cable, or other tower work. Platform surface is height adjustable in 6 inch increments; can install flush with top of base tower section or two feet below. Platform surface is made from galvanized steel Safety Tread, a stamped high traction surface used in catwalks, stairs, and ramps. It is impossible to slip on this stuff!
Safety Stand installs easily by one person in about a half hour with a few basic tools. It is partially assembled on the ground, then installed in four manageably sized pieces on the tower. Can install on any of the three sides, even the side with the cables and pulleys. Your tower must have open ended legs at the top of the base section to work with the Safety Stand.
Safety Stand can stay in place...forever. Hot dip galvanized to last longer than your tower. Does not interfere with tower function (raising/lowering). Made from heavy gauge steel and precision MIG welded on jigs for accuracy.
Climb the tower? NO WAY! Every tower manufacturer plainly states that you should not climb a crank up tower! We agree. This only leaves two options for maintenance. You can buy their tower lay-over accessory, or call the crane guy. Both are expensive and a hassle. Now there is a third way. After lowering and stabilizing your tower, your extension ladder will extend right up through the capture area off the back of the Safety Stand, effectively holding your ladder and preventing it from moving while you climb. You can access the top of the tower without actually climbing it. Now your maintenance chores are done in a matter of minutes!
Fall arrest harness required! No doubt about it, you need a safety harness and must be clipped in while using our platform. Tower must be fully nested and stabilized before climbing ladder. Follow your tower manufacturers suggestions.
