Code of practice for the planning, design, installation and use of permanently installed access equipment – Travelling ladders and gantries
| Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
| BSI | 2004 | 26 |
This part of BS 6037 gives recommendations for the planning, design, installation, use, examination, maintenance and testing of permanently installed travelling ladders and gantries (TLGs) including equipment installed on a building to facilitate routine maintenance of the building fabric and its services. It is intended for those involved in specifying, designing, managing the use of, maintaining and examining such equipment.
This standard does not cover TLG systems designed for heavy duty and industrial applications such as underbridge gantries or gantries for industrial processes.
Where TLGs are intended to be used in conjunction with suspended access equipment (SAE), this code of practice is supplemented by BS EN 1808:1999 and BS 6037-1:2003.
