Scaffolding Laws and Standards
Working safely at heights is largely dependent on the quality of the product. Altrex provides products which at least
meet the standards and laws which often vary per country.
These standards and laws feature detailed requirements on how the product is to look, how strong it needs to be, and
how much load it has to be able to bear.
Altrex makes high demands of the quality of its products. This applies to the development of a new product, but also the
quality in production. In order to test both, Altrex has its own specialised test laboratory. The working method of the test
laboratory is assessed as being of an extremely high standard by various certification bodies.
EN 1004
The current European standard for rolling
towers is the EN 1004. This standard makes
more demands of the rolling towers than the
expired standard HD 1004. The Altrex rolling
and folding towers referred to on this site meet
the EN 1004 standard and are equipped with
the required strength and stability calculations.

Strength and
stability calculations
Strength and stability calculations
The European Work at Height Guideline makes
requirements of working at height. These
requirements are incorporated in the legislation
and regulation of the various European member
states. The scaffolds are required to be
calculated, signed and tested in conformity with
these rules.
Altrex’ standard configurations are equipped
with strength and stability calculations.
