Frequently Asked Questions (Technical & Export)

Key engineering answers regarding EN 131 / EN 1004 certification, working height calculation, container loading, and B2B procurement.

What is the fundamental difference between EN 131 and EN 1004?
EN 131 governs portable ladders and mobile platform ladders (EN 131-7), whereas EN 1004-1:2020 governs prefabricated modular mobile access and working towers on castors.
What do HSE inspectors verify during site audits?
Inspectors check permanent load/standard markings, base stabiliser bars on ladders exceeding 3.0 m, 4-sided guardrails plus 15 cm toe-boards on mobile towers, and functional castor brakes.
When are GRP fiberglass ladders mandatory?
Whenever working near electrical switchgear, transformers, UPS battery rooms, overhead lines, or corrosive chemical atmospheres where conductive aluminium poses an arc/shock hazard.
Should we choose SerTube or SerUltra mobile scaffold towers?
Choose SerTube for lightweight indoor/facility maintenance and fast assembly; choose SerUltra (ø51x2 mm heavy-duty frames, up to 300 cm deck length) for intensive construction sites and rental fleets.
