Diagram 6.2 Relationship between a building and a vehicle access route or a vehicular hardstanding area for a high reach appliance
Type of appliance | Dimensions | Hydraulic Turntable
platform (m) | ladder (m)
A maximum distance* to near edge of vehicle hardstanding area | 2.0 | 4.9
B minimum distance to farthest edge of vehicle hardstanding area | 7.5 | 10.0
| 9.7 | 10.0
C minimum width of unobstructed space | [dimension not specified in table]
Note: * The hardstanding may extend closer to the building but any such extension should not be considered as a vehicle hardstanding area.
Overhead obstruction to be avoided in this zone.
