USER´S MANUAL

HAKI UNIVERSAL S4
ALUMINIUM

© HAKI AB 2019
 Important information
HAKI’s product liability and user´s manuals apply only to scaffolds that are entirely
composed of components that have been made and supplied by HAKI.

HAKI’s type examination certificate applies only to scaffolds whose materials,

dimensions and design accord with those specified in the documentation upon
which this certificate is based.

HAKI’s scaffold systems must not be erected using components of makes other than
HAKI or be connected to scaffolds of makes other than HAKI. In such cases, a
special study of load-bearing capacity must be carried out. However, HAKI has no
objection to the customary addition of scaffold tubes and approved couplers to the
scaffold.

Adding components from different suppliers may invalidate the insurance cover.

HAKI reserves the right to make technical modifications on a continual basis.

This user´s manual is to be used in conjunction with HAKI training courses.

A user’s manual should be provided to the user together with the scaffolding.

The latest versions of HAKI user’s manuals can be downloaded from our website,
www.HAKI.com.

For scaffold structures that are not covered by this user´s manual, please contact
HAKI’s technical department.

HAKI colour code

Horizontals and diagonals are marked with their nominal sizes (bay sizes) and a
colour code. The marking is a useful means of identification when erecting and
handling the scaffold material.

 BASIC INFORMATION

HAKI Universal Aluminium S4

PLEASE NOTE: This user’s manual applies solely to scaffolding
erected using only HAKI´s S4 AL standards.
Permitted loads on standards and thus construction heights apply
solely to HAKI´s S4 AL standards.

HAKI’s S6 AL standards must not be incorporated into the

scaffolding structure. HAKI’s S6 AL standard has a wall thickness
of 6 mm and a spigot of Ø 34 mm, which means that it is
incompatible.

On the other hand, HAKI’s older FSSH AL standards, with

welded pockets, may be incorporated into the scaffolding
structure, but lower permitted loads on standards then apply in
accordance with the user’s manual for this system.

In addition, HAKI Universal steel standards may be used, for

example in the base of the scaffolding when loads on standards
are high or when construction heights are great. In such cases,
a special study of the bearing capacity must be carried out.

However, HAKI’s other products, including horizontal members,

decking etc. of steel or aluminium, may be fully employed in the
scaffolding system.

How to identify HAKI’s S4 standard

• Plain spigot centred using eight indentations and fixed using a
strong aluminium through rivet.
• The wall thickness of the standard tubing is 4 mm.
• Rings of pockets are attached to the standard tube using a
special riveting technique.
• HAKI label with white background and the word HAKI in blue.

Information on safety when erecting and dismantling
1. Before erecting or dismantling a scaffold, try to fence off the working area if possible.
2. The location for the scaffold must be checked in order to prevent risks when erecting,
dismantling and moving the scaffold and to ensure that work can be carried out safely
with regard to level and slope, obstacles and wind conditions.
3. Make sure that all lifting equipment to be used, e.g. chain hoists, lifting ropes, pulley
blocks, etc., has been thoroughly tested and approved by an authorized person in
accordance with local regulations.
4. Check that tools and protective equipment are available at the worksite.
5. Wear appropriate personal safety equipment at all times, e.g. safety harnesses, proper
independent lifelines with suitable fixings, etc.
6. When erecting and dismantling a scaffold, robust temporary decking must be used as
temporary platforms for the scaffolders.
7. Always make sure that the safety locking devices that prevent a platform lifting off have
been activated once a platform has been installed.
8. Study all relevant instructions or safety directions from the manufacturers of the various
scaffolds that are to be used.
9. Never climb up a scaffold from the outside. Always use the stairs, ladders or climbing
frames that are designed to provide access to the upper decks from the inside of the
scaffold.
10. If the scaffold is to be used outdoors, erection or dismantling work must be discontinued
if the weather conditions are too bad. Make sure that all loose components are properly
fixed before leaving the scaffold.
11. Scaffolding work must be done by “competent workmen” under the supervision of a
“competent person”.
12. Raising and lowering of parts, material and tools using ropes or slings must be carried
out in a protected lifting area.
13. Lifting equipment must not be fitted to scaffolding unless ties or equivalent devices are
secure.
14. Beware of any overhead power lines nearby.
15. Always observe and comply with the regulations issued by the local authorities
concerned.

Instructions for dismantling

1. Dismantle the scaffold from the topmost lift.
2. Start by taking down the toe boards, mid-rails and hand rails.
3. Take down the topmost decking, then the stairs.
4. Take down the horizontals and diagonals of the topmost lift.
5. Finally, take down the standards of the topmost lift.
6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 to take down the second topmost lift and continue the whole
process until the tower is completely dismantled.
7. Do not throw or dump the material onto the ground. This may damage the material or
cause personal injury. The material must be lowered down to the ground by means of
ropes or slings or carried down by hand.
8. Ties must not be removed before the dismantling process has reached the level in
question.
10
 ERECTION PROCEDURE
Befor erecting the scaffold, check and flatten out the ground. The support surface must
not be cubject to uneven settlement. Its bearing capacity may be improved with the help
of mud sills.
1. Set out the material for the base
and the first lift along the facade.
Place the base jacks about
200 mm out from the facade and at
the modular distances that are to be
used.
If inside brackets are to be used,
increase the distance accordingly.
The greatest permissible distance
between wall and work platform is
1. 300 mm.
Always start erection at the point that
is situated highest.

2. Erect the first four standards,

linking them with the transom and
ledger beams.
The beams are fitted to the lowest
group of pockets on the standards.
Check that the beam locks are in the
locked position after fitting.

3. Fit the SKRD guardrail frames

along the scaffold at a level of 1.0 m.
2. Guardrail frames must be fitted in
each bay and at each lift level on the
outside of the scaffold.
Alternatively, fit the vertical diagonal
braces.
Continue erecting the base of the
scaffold bay by bay using base jacks,
standards, transoms and ledger
beams and guardrail frames.
If HAKI UTV stairways are to be used,
plan a 2500 or a 3050 mm bay for
the ascent.
From time to time, check the levels in
both the transverse and longitudinal
directions using a spirit level and
adjust using the swivel base jacks.
If there are major differences
in levels, adjust each individual
standard in relation to the support
surface so as to make the beams
3. level.

11
 ERECTION PROCEDURE

4. Fit the transom and ledger

beams for the second lift 2.0 m
above the beams that were fitted
first.
Fit HAKI decking units to the
transom beams. Don’t forget to lock
the decking.
Fit the second set of 3000 or
2000 mm standards.
Install SKRD guardrail frames
for the second lift and fit the
toeboards.
Don’t forget the end guardrails.
4.
5. Fit the transom and ledger
beams for the third lift and then
decking, guardrails and toeboards.
Don’t forget to lock the beams and
decking.
Anchor the scaffold at a height of
approximately 4.8 m using tie rods
and clamps.
Check that the fixings in the
facade can carry the forces
involved.

6. Continue erecting the

subsequent lifts as described
above.
5. Use approved lifting aids for
transport of the material.
If steel/aluminium planks are used,
these should be locked in the outer
bays. The planks otherwise lock
each other.
When decking using scaffold
boards, these must be provided
with yokes if the span exceeds
2.5 m.

Dismantling is done in the reverse

order.
Scaffolding material must not be
thrown down from the scaffold.
6.

12
 ERECTION PROCEDURE
External stairways
There are two options for external
stairways: the HAKI UTV of steel
and the HAKI UTV of aluminium.
Both options are fitted in a similar
manner.

7. The UTV stairway is fitted in an

external bay using ERB 700/770
and LB/ERB 2500/3050 beams.
The stairway is usually built into the
scaffold proper. Alternatively, the
stair tower is erected using separate
standards.
Set out the base jacks and erect the
standards. Fit the ERB 700/770
7. and LB/ERB 2500/3050 beams
into the lowest group of pockets. Fit
the transom beams for the second
lift too. At other levels, the handrails
replace the ledger beams.

8. Fit the hooks of the UTV stairway

over the tubes of the transom
beams and lock the stairs using the
locking device.
Fit the handrail at the 1.0 m level
and provide the top end with SKRD
700/770 guardrail frames. Fit
the next set of standards, transom
beams, stairs, handrail and
guardrail frames.
8.
9. Continue erection up to the
desired height.
At the top level, an ERB
2500/3050 beam is fitted
externally in the scaffold. An SSK
1000 guardrail post is fitted on the
beam so that an SKRD 1964/2500
guardrail frame can be fitted
between post and standard.
Alternatively, an LB 2500/3050
beam can be combined with an
SRS 1000 guardrail post.
The guardrail frame provides
fall protection at the top level of
the scaffold. At other levels, the
next stairway provides sufficient
9. protection.

 LOADING CONDITIONS

Bracing and tying-in

Vertical diagonal bracing between
the outside standards must be
installed in every 5th bay and always
in the end bays. SKRD guardrail
frames can replace vertical diagonal
braces, but must then be fitted in each
bay and at every lift level, including
the bottom level.
Plan braces must be fitted in every
5th bay and always in the end bays
at every 12th metre in height.
Each inside standard must be tied
to the facade or equivalent at every
4th metre in height adjacent to the
node between standard and beam.
The lowest tie must be fitted no more Bracing with vertical diagonal braces and tying-in
than 4.8 m above ground level. There
must be ties that can carry horizontal
forces on at least every 5th pair of
standards along the scaffold and at
every level of ties.
In addition, we recommend that the
scaffold always be anchored as high
up as possible.
Where there are brackets, the
scaffold must be anchored at the level
of the brackets.
Scaffold with lattice beams must be
anchored at the fixing points of the

The support surface must be capable of withstanding a design load per standard of twice
the relevant permitted load on a standard.
When scaffolding is suspended, standard joints must be locked using 16 mm pins. The
permissible tensile load on a standard in a suspended scaffold is 20.0 kN.
When designing using the partial coefficient method, the design bearing capacity is
obtained by multiplying the permitted load by 1.5.

 LOADING CONDITIONS
Access ways
Access is usually provided by means of HAKI UTV AL stairways that are fitted to the
outside of the scaffold using components designed for this purpose. When an external
stairway is fitted in accordance with the directions on page 13, the loads on standards
should not be reduced.
Alternatively, a HAKI tower scaffold may be used, see User´s Manual HAKI Stair Tower.
Ascent via ladders may be arranged by means of HAKI decking units with trapdoors and
ladders, or HAKI STV ladders.

Lattice beams
Lattice beams of aluminium
Aluminium lattice beams are fitted in pairs
on the inside and outside of the scaffold.
Both the top and bottom tubes must be
fixed to the standards using SW 48x48
swivel couplers. The height is adjusted so
that the decking is horizontal when this is
installed.
The lattice beams must be braced against
lateral movement using a diagonally rigid
framework of standards and beams or
tubes and couplers.
When erecting as in the illustration with
ledger beams and horizontal diagonals,
the greatest permitted load on a standard
is 14.7 kN at the centre of the lattice
beam. Vertical diagonal bracing must be
carried out between the outer standards in
both bays beside the beam.

Maintenance & storage
1. After use, all components must be thoroughly cleaned and inspected before storage.
2. Any damaged parts or components found must be replaced.
3. The manufacturer or supplier must be consulted before repairing scaffold material.
4. Components must be sorted and stacked properly. Take care not to pile the stacks too
high, so that the material lower down in the stacks becomes overloaded and damaged.
If the material must be stacked up high, suitable racking and shelves should be used.
5. Wooden and plastic components (e.g. platforms, toe boards, toe board holders, etc.)
should be stored in a sheltered area so as to maximize their working life.

Wind, ice and snow

Since extreme weather conditions may occur during winter months, it is important to
remove snow and ice immediately.
With regards to wind loads, ties must be installed every fourth metre in height; see the
section “Bracing and tying-in”. For clad scaffolding, calculations should be made in each
individual case.
For more information, please contact HAKI’s technical department.

 SAFE SCAFFOLDING

Alternative methods of erection when guardrail is fitted in advance

In order to be able to fit guardrails prior to
decking, using HAKI’s advance guardrail
tool or with the aid of other guardrail fit-
ting devices, the external standards must be
one metre higher than the next lift. Some
alternative methods of erection to achieve
this are shown here.
These methods of erection also facilitate the
use of temporary guardrails.
For permissible loads on standards, see
page 16.
In other respects, see instructions for the
fitting devices in question.
