Limits that apply
- A stair tower is anchored to the building or the scaffold. Anchorage, foundations and the connection are not in the manufacturer's parts list and are designed separately.
- ScaFix lists the parts from the manufacturer's tables. It is not a structural approval: the assembly and use instructions on site govern, and a competent person inspects the tower.
