ULTIMA TOWER KIT LIST

The ASCEND "ULTIMA TOWER" gives an excep�onally versa�le tower for working in normal applica�ons all frames can be used as upper or
lower sec�ons ,simply place the pla�orm on the third rung from the top of the tower and correct guardrail height is achieved. The number of
trapdoor pla�orm in the tower kit is sufficient to assemble and dismantle the tower using 3T method .
