1 Modular Scaffolding MEKA 48

2 MODULAR SCAFFOLDING MEKA 48 MODULAR SCAFFOLDING The Modular Scaffolding MEKA 48 is designed to adapt to the most complex scaffold structures. Its versatility offers a wide range of uses, a significant load-bearing capacity and unparalleled quick assembly of all its components. Incorporates a safety rail. The Modular Scaffolding MEKA 48 is based on a system of vertical standards with rosettes allowing up to 8 connections where the ledgers and diagonal braces connect, and enable different angles to be made every 50 cm. The Modular Scaffolding MEKA 48 is manufactured according to European standards: EN EN A34/ Technical specifications: Steel tube Ø 48.3 mm. Grade St-44. All components are galvanised and have a minimum thickness of 75 microns, according to the European Standard EN DACAME

12 MODULAR SCAFFOLDING TRUSS LEDGERS Much like the ledger, the truss ledger channels the standards load towards the rosettes. The main difference lies in its loading capacity, increased thanks to the gussets and the lower ledger, making it more resistant to bend.

19 MEKA 48 ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 1 2 Starting from the highest point, place the screw jack bases on the ground. It is recommended the ground to be compacted with sole boards in order to distribute the weight of the load. Insert a base collar into each of the screw jack bases. Using the holes of the rosettes, connect the base collar to the ledgers. Level the screw jack bases beginning at the highest point. 3 4 Insert the standards into the base collars in order to erect the first level: Standards 3.0 m where guardrails are used. Standards 2.0 m everywhere else. Join the standards with the ledgers. Assembly the fixed and access planks using the access ladder support fitted to the ledger to hold up the access ladder. Reinforce the scaffold assembling the diagonal brace. 5 Place the provisional guardrail to reach to the first level. Then assembly the ledgers and the toeboards. 6 Erect the following levels with standards 2 m and join them with ledgers, as shown in step Place the planks on the next level and continue to reinforce the scaffold diagonally. Stiffen the scaffolding to the façade using tie bars, fixed clamps, tie supports and plugs as required in each scenario. Place the provisional guardrail to the next level in order to be able to access it safely. Complete the side protection assembling the ledgers and the planks. Repeat steps 6, 7 and 8 for more levels.
