12.8m Span 400 DW LF Tower

Rib-Grip cold formed joints;

Three times stronger than welded joints, at the heart of the Zip-Up tower frames and braces, is the unique Rib-Grip joint system. Tubes are crimped at very high pressure onto annual grooves on the inside or outside diameters of cast fittings by computer controlled presses giving consistent high strength joints.

Tests carried out by an independent laboratory compared the performance of Rib-Grip joints with traditional welded types with following results:

• Static load tests show rib-grip joints have a tensile strength three times greater than a welded joint

• Under repetitive dynamic loading, rib-grip joints can withstand 250,000 cycles without cracking – most welded joints failed after only 2,000 cycles.

It is this level of durability which enables each Zip-Up tower to be backed by a 10 year guarantee on all frame joints.

Locking Hooks

All hooks are fitted with easy to use quick release catches which automatically engage when the hook is placed on the frame tube. The highly developed design gives a contact area of over 225 degrees for maximum tower rigidity.

Locking Castors

High quality castors fitted with non-marking polypropylene tyres have foot-operated brakes. The are easy to use and lock positively to prevent movement of the tower when in working position.

TX 2000 Platforms

The Zip-Up lightweight platform provides all round edge protection and features an integral wind lock clip ensuring stability. Hooks and other components can be easily replaced should damage occur by simply removing a few screws.

Adjustable Legs

A choice of 400mm or 600mm of height adjustment is provided by Zip-Up’s Quick-Adjust legs. The lever type adjuster locks automatically and once loaded cannot be accidentally released.
