BetaGuard Scaffold Systems |
Turner Access continues to provide safer systems of work with the development of Collective Protection Solution BetaGuardŽ, an INTEGRAL Advance Guardrail System for use on Aluminium Towers (Patent Pending GB0813177.3).
The BetaGuardŽ has been designed for compatibility with Turner's BETA and OCTO 250 Tower types, but can be used on all 850mm and 1450mm wide tower types with 500mm or 250mm rung spacing, allowing most tower users to benefit from increased safety.
Assembling and dismantling aluminium towers must comply with the standards set out by the Work at Height Regulations 2005. Hierarchical requirements place collective protection over mitigation options. As an advance guardrail system the BetaGuardŽ provides Best Practice Collective Protection, but
without the Manual Handling problems associated with current Industry practice. |

Unique Benefits of The BetaGuard |
*Not only does the BetaGuardŽ increase safety
throughout the assembly and dismantling
process, it also contributes to the stability of the
composite tower.
*The BetaGuardŽ simplifies tower erection by
eliminating the need for both horizontal and
diagonal braces, reducing the main components
to a total of three.
*Structural safety is also improved with the
bracing integrated into the BetaGuardŽ frame.
*Utilisation and asset management is achieved
with ease as individual single bracing members
more susceptible to loss, damage and theft are
replaced.
*Other benefits of the BetaGuardŽ include its ability to act as a bridging component to bridge towers, removing the need for bridging lattice beams.
*Tower erection without trip hazards at base level and a walk in/through facility with high clearance
is automatically achieved. |
