Doka d2 - the strong, economical

load-bearing tower made of steel
Sturdy galvanised steel frames, in three different
heights, are the basis of this highly economical load-
bearing tower, designed for highly varied areas of use.
High load-bearing capacity, quick and easy assembly
using only a small number of separate system compo-
nents and connectors, and great versatility - these are
the outstanding characteristics of d2.
Wherever high loads occur, in either the building-con-
struction or civil-engineering fields, this load-bearing
tower is the ideal solution.

The tried-and-tested load-bearing tower

- 250 = inter-frame spacing 250 cm
● Embossed marking (G) e.g. 250 (horizontal brace)
- 250 = inter-frame spacing 250 cm
As an alternative to the Braces d2, diagonal crosses
from the Doka load-bearing tower Staxo can also be
used here.

☞ Important note:
● The diagonal crosses cannot be used in
cases where the frames are spaced 100 cm
apart, as the crosses would foul the cross-
bars of the frames.
● Do not mix diagonal crosses and diagonal
braces on the same load-bearing tower.
● It is not possible to use diagonal crosses to
erect quadratic tower frames where the
frames of each section are placed at 90° to
those of the previous section (see "Quadratic
tower frames").
● In levels in which assembly battens are
mounted, horizontal bracing with "Diagonal
braces 12" or with diagonal crosses is no
longer needed. This only applies, of course,
if the assembly battens are left in place in this
"storey" until the very end of the assignment
(assembly, pouring etc.).

It is a good idea to distribute the extension

30 lengths of the screw-jacks in such a way that
the "heads" are not extended as far as the
"feet". In this way, a higher max. leg load can be
20 obtained (see diagrams).
