BIL-JAX
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about BIL-JAX from 3G Electric.
What load capacities are available for BIL-JAX scaffold towers?
BIL-JAX scaffold towers are available with load capacities of 1,000 lb and 2,000 lb, depending on the model. For example, the SKU 5AB12 tower has a 1,000 lb capacity, while SKU 5AA93 and 5AB18 towers are rated for 2,000 lb. The capacity is determined by the tower's frame material and configuration. Always verify the specific load rating for the model you select, as platform size and height also affect safe working load.
Are BIL-JAX scaffold towers adjustable in height?
BIL-JAX scaffold towers are fixed-height units, not adjustable in height. However, height extension kits (e.g., SKU 5AB14) are available to increase the working height of compatible base models. These extension kits are steel, yellow, and designed to match specific manufacturer model numbers. For example, the 0127-007-5 extension kit is compatible with model 0127-006-3. Check compatibility before ordering.
What materials are used in BIL-JAX scaffold towers?
BIL-JAX scaffold towers are constructed from steel, aluminum, or a combination of materials. Steel towers (e.g., SKU 5AB18) offer high durability, while aluminum/steel hybrids (e.g., SKU 45NU27) reduce weight for easier transport. Some models also incorporate wood components. The material choice affects the tower's weight, corrosion resistance, and load capacity. Select based on your environment and handling requirements.
What is the Easi-Guard series from BIL-JAX?
The Easi-Guard series is a line of guardrail components, including toe boards, designed for scaffold safety. BIL-JAX Easi-Guard toe boards (e.g., SKU 5AA93) are steel, yellow, and compatible with specific manufacturer model numbers like 6004-02552. These components are used to prevent tools and materials from falling off scaffold platforms. They are part of a modular system that integrates with BIL-JAX scaffold towers.
What types of casters are available for BIL-JAX scaffolds?
BIL-JAX offers casters and well wheels for scaffold mobility. Scaffold casters (e.g., SKU 5AA96) are plastic with a silver finish and include a snap pin for attachment. Well wheels (e.g., SKU 33W602) are steel. Both are designed to fit specific scaffold models. Ensure compatibility with your tower's leg size and load rating before purchasing. Casters allow repositioning of assembled towers on flat surfaces.
Can BIL-JAX scaffold towers be used outdoors?
Yes, BIL-JAX scaffold towers can be used outdoors, provided they are set up on stable, level ground. The steel and aluminum construction offers resistance to weather, but prolonged exposure to moisture may require additional corrosion protection. For outdoor use, consider models with outriggers (e.g., SKU 45NU27 includes outriggers) for stability. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for wind speed limits and anchoring.
