Post Support Bracing Layout

Instructions For Layout

  • Step 1:  Identify correct post height.
  • Step 2: Determine correct post support kit.
  • Step 3:  Assemble post support bracing as per tables below.

Post Support Span Table

Post Support Spacing Information

  • KOMBI Platforms are designed to support a live load of 2.5kPa (250kg/m2).
  • Calculations assume maximum flooring mass of 12kg/m2 (weight of guardrail and aluminium deck).
  • Allowance for floor vibration has not been taken into account in design.
  • Platform deflection has been based on two variables, frequent access (less deflection) and infrequent access (greater deflection). Table below shows post spacings based on above.
  • Lateral bracing is required as per configuration tables.

Lateral Brace Layout

Kombi Lateral Bracing LayoutLateral Brace Installation

  • KOMBI Platform proprietary design allows freestanding platforms of up to 6000mm.
  • Platforms above 3000mm require a horizontal brace mid span of the post in all bays.
  • For longer platforms exceeding triple span, up to 30m, lateral bracing is require in the first and last bay only.
  • For longer platforms from 30m - 50m, lateral bracing is required in the first, centre and last bay only.

Platform Configuration

Platform Set Out Guidelines

  • Platform cross supports positioned at 600mm centres.
  • Post supports positioned as close to end of platform as possible. (250mm max from outside edge of platform to centre of post.)
