Destroy ladder if damaged, worn or exposed to fire or chemicals.
CONSIDER BEFORE EACH USE
Metal ladders conduct electricity. Keep away from electrical circuits.
Consult manufacturer for use in chemical or other corrosive environments.
Use ladder only as outlined in instructions. Ladders are designed for one person only. Do not overload. Do not use in high winds or during storms. Do not use if in poor health, if taking drugs or alcoholic beverages, or if physically handicapped. Keep shoes clean. Leather soles should not be worn. Never leave ladder set up and unattended. Pay close attention to what you are doing. Use this product at your own risk.
PROPER SET-UP AND USE - STEP LADDERS
- Use help in setting up and steadying ladder.
- Make sure ladder is fully open and spreaders locked.
- Set all feet on firm, level surface.
- Do not place on unstable, loose, or slippery surfaces.
- Place ladder where access is not obstructed.
- Do not place in front of unlocked doors.
- Ladders are not intended to be used on scaffolds.
- Secure ladder from movement where possible.
- Make sure spreaders are locked and ladder is stable before climbing.
- Climb only front side of ladder.
- Face ladder when climbing up or down.
- Maintain a firm grip. Use both hands in climbing.
- Keep body centered between side rails. Do not over-reach.
- Get down and move ladder as needed.
- Do not climb, stand or sit above second step from top.
- Do not climb, stand or sit on spreader braces, ladder top or pail shelf.
- Do not straddle front and back. Do not climb from one ladder onto another.
- Avoid pushing or pulling off to side of ladder. Do not ‘walk’ or ‘shift’ ladder while on it.
CAUTION, IF INCORRECTLY USED, A LADDER IS DANGEROUS. PLEASE READ SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. USE ASSISTANCE TO STEADY LADDER WHEN IN USE.
PROPER SET-UP AND USE
SINGLE AND EXTENSION LADDERS
- Use help in setting up ladder, if possible. Set base of ladder on firm, level surface.
- Ladder levelling devices are available for use on uneven ground.
- Place ladder where access is not obstructed.
- Do not place on unstable, loose, or slippery surfaces.
- Do not place in front of unlocked doors.
- Ladders are not intended to be used on scaffolds.
- Secure base section before raising ladder to upright position.
- Do not raise or lower with fly section extended.
- Extend fly section and engage rung locks.
- Make sure rope does not create a tripping hazard or interfere with activity near ladder.
- Recommend tying bottom fly rung to adjacent base rung.
- Extend and retract fly section only from ground and when no one is on ladder.
- Do not overextend.
A minimum overlap of sections is required as follows:
Ladder size up to and including
9m- 900mm overlap
Over 9m up to and including12m - 1200mm overlap
Over 10m up to and including
14.5m - 1500mm overlap
Sizes over 14.5m - 1800m overlap.
- Position ladder against upper support surface.
- Make sure ladder does not lean to side.
- Ladder must make a 75,5º angle with the ground.
- To establish if ladder is at proper angle - determine the distance along rail between the top and bottom support points of the ladder.
- Divide this distance by 4.
- The result will be the horizontal distance between the top and bottom support points.
- Erect ladder with 700mm to 900mm extending above the roof line or working surface.
- Secure top and bottom of ladder where possible.
- Check that top and bottom of ladder are properly supported.
- Make sure rung locks are engaged before climbing.
- Face ladder when climbing up or down.
- Maintain a firm grip. Use both hands in climbing.
- Keep body centred between side rails.
- Do not overreach. Get down and move ladder as needed.
- Do not climb above top support point.
- Do not climb from one ladder to another.
- Do not straddle or sit on rungs.
- Avoid pushing or pulling off to side of ladder.
- Do not ‘walk’ or ‘shift’ ladder while on it.
PROPER CARE AND STORAGE
Hang ladder on racks at intervals of 1,8m for support. Never store materials on ladder. Never drop or apply an impact load to ladder. Securely support ladder in transit.

GUIDELINES WHEN SELECTING A CASTOR
WHEN DECIDING ON A CASTOR
Castors in this catalogue are listed with the most popular wheel for that series. Alongside the specifications for these castors is a list of alternative wheels that can be fitted to the series. To confirm sizes and load ratings please refer to wheel pages. The load rating of the castor that you select will be determined by comparing the load rating of the bracket and the wheel, and selecting the lowest of the two load ratings.
GUIDELINES
- use soft tread for imperfect floors
- for infrequent use - use hard tread wheels
maximum trolley load should not exceed 3x the castor nominal load capacity
- for intensive use - maximum trolley load should not exceed 2x the castor nominal load capacity
bearings will make the wheel easier to move
IN ORDER TO RECEIVE ASSISTANCE IN CHOOSING A WHEEL OR CASTOR, THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION MUST BE SUPPLIED:
- total load to be carried, including mass of trolley
- floor condition & description ie indoors or outdoors, concrete, good or bad condition etc
- application, eg hospitals, kitchens, production, hand pushed, towed etc
- usage: static, intermittent or intensive use
- any special conditions - dust, water, chemicals, temperature etc
 |
The load rating of a 461 bracket is 250kg
The load rating of a 100mm NY wheel is 200kg
Therefore the load rating of a 461NY is 200kg
|
 |
The load rating of a 461 bracket is 250kg
The load rating of a 100mm PU wheel is 250kg
Therefore the load rating of a 461PU is 250kg
|
 |
The load rating of a 461 bracket is 250kg
The load rating of a 100mm PVR wheel is 180kg
Therefore the load rating of a 461PVR is 180kg
