Medium duty (Topaz), heavy duty (Sapphire) and extra heavy duty
(Emerald) use the same covers and closed / ventilated clips
Covers can be installed either by resting directly on the ladder side
rails (closed covers) or raised above the side rails providing a gap for
air to circulate (ventilated covers)
Covers up to 450 mm wide have a flat top surface and are simply buttjointed together. Covers 600 mm wide and above are overlapped and
bolted together to increase their rigidity. Covers 750 and 900 mm wide
have a stiffener fitted along the joint for added rigidity
All covers are 3 m in length and supplied with six cover clips and
associated fasteners
For ordering information, see p. 23

between the ladder and the vertical
support face. For access to fit
cover clips a larger clearance is
required when the vertical support
is a solid face
Closed covers
Place each cover over the ladder
side rails and push the clip under
the side rail return flanges before
fitting and tightening the fasteners
Ventilated covers
Slide the clips over the top return
flange of the ladder side rails and
place the cover over the clips. Fit
and tighten the fasteners
