A working wind of q = 0.2 kN/m2 should always be

When Doka floor props

Eco are used as temporary
reshores, their permitted
load-bearing capacity
increases to 25 kN.
This increase in capacity
only applies if the head-
and baseplate are placed
directly against the floor-
slabs (a formwork-sheet-

1) In accordance with EN 12812, this allows for a service load of 0.75 kN/m² and a variable load of 10 % of a massive concrete floor-slab, totalling
at least 0.75 kN/m² but no more than 1.75 kN/m² (assuming a unit weight of 25 kN/m³ for the fresh concrete). Mid-span deflection has been limited
to l/500. In the case of cavity flat-slab floors, significantly lower slab loads occur.

Special applications
Demarcation of work-zones
When combined with fence-feet baseblocks, the Edge
protection system XP can also be used to demarcate
different working areas within a jobsite.
Required spacing of the handrail posts: 2.50 m
(as the Protective gratings XP have to be mounted in a
higher position).
Requirements for fence-feet baseblocks:
● Dead weight min. 25 kg; length of baseblock foot
80 cm
● Recess for 40 x 40 mm squared tube

B Handrail post XP 1.20m
C Protective grating XP 2.70x1.20m
☞ Important note:
● This demarcation fence is not a fall-arrest
barrier as defined by EN 13374!
● Ensure that it has sufficient stability against
overturning, and allow for wind loads!
● When used as a safety guard and demarca-
tion fence for fall-hazard locations, it must be
placed min. 2.00 m from the drop-off edge!
● Observe all local Standards and regulations!
