Articulating Stairs:
Articulating stairways constructed to meet OSHA Standards for safety and fall protection allow for ease of travel amongst technicians, ultimately self-adjusting for height differentials while maintaining level steps with negligible differences in appropriate ranges for climbing angles.

Fall Prevention:
Guardrails in compliance with OSHA requirements are included around all open edges of the working platform. The top of the guardrails on the top platform are 42 inches above the top deck with a proper mid-rail, and can sustain 200 lb. lateral loading forces for safety. Four-inch high toe-boards are also provided. A self-closing hinged gate closes off the work platform upon entering from the stairs.

Platform Height Adjustability:
Ganged jacks allow for raising and lowering the platform while enhancing the user experience by allowing the operator to adjust the platform height infinitely without the need for a fork lift. The jack is designed to provide low cost, ridged, mechanically synchronized jacking free of unwanted movement. Our proprietary “puck” system ensures the telescoping tubes are always centered with zero deviation. All parts and components are precision laser cut and CNC machined to tight tolerances.

Tool Trays:
Two powdercoated self-draining tool trays are provided in preferred locations.

Finish:
Aluminum is inherently corrosive resistant, and does not typically require protective finish. Therefore, the majority of the stand will not be finished. However all of the guardrails and toe-boards may be finished in a safety orange powder-coating.

Documentation:
The following documentation will be provided at the completion of the project.
• All MSDS documentation for all coating processes and hazardous materials.
• A Certificate of Conformance (COC) for each stand signed by CvI's QA representative.
• Two hard-copy sets of operation and maintenance manuals will be provided.
• Operation and maintenance manuals will also be provided in electronic format.
O&M manuals will include:
o Safety Hazards and Cautions
o Correct Operating Procedures
o Recommended Preventative Maintenance Schedule
o Suggested Spare Parts

On-Site Installation per set at specified locations (approx. 40-45 days) Includes labor, material, equipment rental, lodging, flight not included) Install figure includes final assembly, operator training and comprehensive technical manual.

We suggest that each specific client be responsible for the provision of local labor, we can provide a schedule of what will be required in terms of head count and equipment. In this way the installation cost which otherwise would be greatly inflated by the inclusion of airline tickets, additional expenses and insurance can be avoided. This approach has the advantage of making the installation cost more in-line with local rates in lower cost economies, or the customer may opt to provide their own labor.

For tail docks typically we will require rental or use of a 30-50 ton mobile jib crane for and driver, a telescopic forklift, small conventional forklift & at least 1 boom lift. We estimate a crew of between 4 & 5 relatively experienced steel erectors with a reasonable command of English or a capable translator. The crane will not be required for the duration, however the other access and lifting equipment will be. The local install crew should have their own tools, which is typical for a steel erecting crew.
