This part of BS 6037 gives recommendations for the planning, design, installation, use, examination, maintenance and testing of permanently installed travelling ladders and gantries (TLGs) including equipment installed on a building to facilitate routine maintenance of the building fabric and its services. It is intended for use by those involved in specifying, designing, managing the use of, maintaining and examining such equipment.
NOTE 1 For further information on underbridge gantries, see The operation and maintenance of bridge access gantries and runways [4].
NOTE 2 Where TLGs are intended to be used in conjunction with suspended access equipment (SAE), this part of BS 6037 is supplemented by BS EN 1808 and BS 6037‑1.
