What is a cantilever tower?

A cantilever tower has a platform at the working level which projects out from the side or end of the tower.

It is used to reach over obstructions where the tower cannot be positioned immediately next to the desired work position.

As the cantilever is outside the basic tower framework, there is automatically a greater risk of overturning if the tower is incorrectly built, stabilised or if the cantilever is overloaded. Extra care is required in selecting, deploying and using a cantilever tower.

Cantilever towers are special applications with separate instruction sets and are not covered by the basic PASMA Towers for Users course.

Alto HD equipment can be used to construct cantilever towers. An instruction set and guidance can be found here. For more information on advanced and specialist applications, call us on 01527 500577 or email us on sales@altoaccess.com.
