If, for example, the possible fall-off height is limited, by reasonof design, on a roof safety scaffold to 1.50 m and the distance between the scaffold lifts is 0.25 m to 0.50 m,then the span length is to be maximum 2.50 m on a plank with minimum dimensions of 24 cm x 4.5 cm and2.70 m on planks of 24 cm x 5.0 cm or 28 cm x 4.5 cm. This extension of the span length, under the conditionsmentioned above, has the benefit that roof safety scaffolds can be erected with the largest possible standardsspacing, particularly on steel tube coupler, modular and ladder scaffolds.Instructions for erection and use valid only for the original RUX-VARIANT modular scaffolding system from RUX GmbH, Hagen, Germany!Instructions for erection and use valid only for the original RUX-VARIANT modular scaffolding system from RUX GmbH, Hagen, Germany!22RUX GmbH · Phone +49 2331 4709-0 · Fax +49 2331 4709-202 · Mail rux@rux.deRUX GmbH · Phone +49 2331 4709-0 · Fax +49 2331 4709-202 · Mail rux@rux.de23
Modular scaffolding RUX-VARIANT2 Special provisionsModular scaffolding RUX-VARIANT2 Special provisions2.2 Use2.2.1 Scaffolding erection work and useThe DIN 4420, part 1, as well as the appropriate accident prevention regulations apply. The scaffolds are onlyto be erected, converted and dismantled by persons appropriately qualified and trained and who are fullyacquainted with the mode of erection of the scaffold system. The erection, conversion and dismantling work isto be permanently monitored by a supervisor. This person is also especially responsible for checking thecondition of the components in accordance with Chapter 2.2.2.2.3.4 TyingThe constructural elements for connecting the tie holders to the structure are not the subject of these instructionsfor erection and use. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that such elements safely absorb anddistribute the forces emanating from the tie holders. In doing so, vertical forces are not to be transmitted. Inindividual cases, the tie in the structure is to be checked using suitable testing instruments, and the resultsrecorded appropriately (Ill. 2-1).Prior to starting work on scaffolds, the contractor responsible must carry out a risk analysis. The form enclosedwith these instructions may be used for this purpose. It does not claim, however, to contain a complete list ofall conceivable risks that can occur in scaffolding work. Therefore it remains the responsibility of the contractorto recognize any additional risks present on individual building sites and take all necessary precautions toensure adequate safety standards and to protect the health of workers.2.2.2 Condition of componentsAll components must be checked prior to erection for perfect condition. Damaged components are not to beused.2.3 Construction2.3.1 General2.3.2 BaseComponents in accordance with Chapter 2.1.4 are to be used for scaffolds erected in line with these instructionfor erection and use. The scaffolding system may, in individual cases, be supplemented by steel tubes (to beconnected by means of couplers) as well as battens and planks. These items must be in line with DIN 4420,part 1 specifications.The RUX-VARIANT modular scaffolding is only to be erected on ground of sufficient load bearing cpacity.If necessary, load distributing supports such as planks, sleepers or structural steel beams are to be placedunderneath. Levelling blocks are required when erecting scaffolds on sloping terrain. Care is to be taken toensure that the base plates or base jacks rest full-face on the ground enabling the forces emanating from thescaffold, in the horizontal plane. to be absorbed and transmitted onwards.2.3.3 Height adjustmentFor height adjustment, the base jacks can be extended to a maximum length of 0.25 m.Illustration 2-1 Types of tieInstructions for erection and use valid only for the original RUX-VARIANT modular scaffolding system from RUX GmbH, Hagen, Germany!Instructions for erection and use valid only for the original RUX-VARIANT modular scaffolding system from RUX GmbH, Hagen, Germany!24RUX GmbH · Phone +49 2331 4709-0 · Fax +49 2331 4709-202 · Mail rux@rux.deRUX GmbH · Phone +49 2331 4709-0 · Fax +49 2331 4709-202 · Mail rux@rux.de25
