Introduction / Certifi cation Alsipercha System
Apart from the assembly and operating instructions, each chapter
includes a series of safety recommendations. It is important that
these are observed. However, these recommendations are neither
exhaustive nor defi nitive, and should they not coincide with the
indications in the Health and Safety Plan or its equivalent according to
local legislation, the latter shall prevail.
If there are persons who cannot read the documentation or have
diffi culty doing so, they must follow the customer’s instructions and
indications.
Should you have any questions regarding the contents of this manual
or any suggestions as to how it can be improved, please address your
comments to your Alsina Marketing Technician or through our website:

Introduction
Alsina’s instructions for installation, use and safety are intended as
a guide to the procedures required for safe and correct assembly,
disassembly and use of formwork systems under normal conditions, in
line with the standards commonly accepted on work sites. Any specifi c
work circumstance falling outside these standards may require them
to be adapted. When in doubt, do not hesitate to contact one of our
technical departments, anywhere in the world.
The instructions in this document are intended to explain to users
and technicians how the system works; they should ensure correct
preparation and use of the equipment on site. Consequently,
there will be references to general standards that any professional
user should be familiar with. Thus, it is best not to reproduce them in
this manual, since any modifi cations to these standards would lead
to discrepancies between the standards and the manual and could
cause confusion. Users should always refer to the latest version of the
standards in force.
Therefore, the references in this manual in no way annul, replace or
prevail over:
1- Standards and regulations on prevention of risks in the workplace
specifi c to a country or region.
2- The instructions in the specifi c Health and Safety Plan for the works.
3- Safety instructions in the evaluations and plans applying to specifi c
work functions in a company.
4- Technical orders and instructions specifi c to particular stages of
the works, issued by the technical directors, the health and safety
offi cer, the foremen and/or Prevention Resources.
Throughout the project, users shall respect, at all times, the specifi c
laws, standards and regulations of the country or region related to
prevention of risks in the workplace and any other legislation applicable
to each case and, if necessary, supplement the instructions and adapt
to other Work Safety Measures.
It is the customer’s responsibility to prepare, document, implement
and review the risk evaluation for the construction work.
This documentation provides the basis for the evaluation of specifi c
risks in the works, and Alsina’s Instruction Manuals may in no case be
regarded as a substitute.
Sets of vertical formwork equipment, as systems, are made up
by joining different components. As far as possible, drawings and
diagrams have been included as an aid to understanding these
instructions. All personnel working with these products should be
familiar with the contents of this document and the safety instructions
therein.
The illustrations in this manual refer, in part, to different phases of the
assembly process. Customers should ensure that they have a copy of
the assembly and operating instructions, supplied by Alsina, and that
these are known to and available to users on site.

Alsipercha tripod mounting procedure
Info
. It is very important to mount the ALSIPERCHA
TRIPOD on suffi ciently compact and resistant terrain so
that the anchor device provides suffi cient safety guarantees.
There are various terrain / slab / footing options:
Option of anchoring to concrete/slab footing
- Minimum characteristics of a concrete platform to anchor the
tripod must be: HA25 concrete or higher (minimum resistance of
concrete for use = 10 MPa, if fresh concrete is used), measurements
of 300 x 300 cm and thickness of 25 cm, as well as a scrap
metal covering.
In this case, the anchor will consist of placing 3 “M12 FISCHER FH
18X80/25 S HIGH RESISTANCE ANCHORS” (or equivalent).
3000 mm
250 mm
40 mm
3000 mm
Option of anchoring to steel plate
- Minimum characteristics of a steel platform to anchor the tripod must
be: measurements of 300 x 300 cm and 4 cm thickness, with three
M18 previously-bored threaded holes through which the anchors will
pass (in this case it will be an 8.8 quality M18x50 DIN933 galvanised
screw with an M18 DIN 125-A washer).

Procedure for use on site
General Information
There are 5.5 or 6.5 metres from the anchor point to the fl oor,
depending on the type of tripod selected, meaning that the worker
can work above the truck load in complete safety. The diameter of the
circular surface occupied by the tripod base is 2.7 m
Safety information
The Alsipercha is only for the operations indicated in this document,
to prevent them from falling when loading on or unloading from delivery
vehicle platforms.
Other spare parts that are not supplied with the system must
not be used.
Check all the parts of the Alsina unloading system components before
installing. Never use the equipment if it is damaged or rusty, as this
may affect its safety.
If activated due to a fall of a user, the retractable device must be
withdrawn from service and inspected by an appropriate person.
If you have any queries, please contact Alsina
Step 9
With a dynamometric wrench, torque to 80 Nm. Repeat for all three
anchors. Finally, using the crane, place the Alsipercha on top of the
ALSIPERCHA TRIPOD.

Final assembly
Trucks that are 6 m long
To unload the 6-metre platform of a truck, only one Alsipercha system
will need to be used. When parking the truck, the rear box/platform
must be situated according to the distances shown in the following
illustration:
LEGEND
1. Alsipercha unloading system
2. Alsipercha System
3. 10 m retractable device
4. Worker
Any worker unloading a truck with a 6 m platform, must use:
• Suitable footwear
• A refl ective jacket and a helmet with chin protection
• A safety harness
• 0.3 m additional extension rope for subsequent anchoring
Once the worker has the PPE correct (Personal Protection Equipment),
he can hang the additional 0.3 m rope on his harness by rolling it up
and attach the other end of the fall arrest device to the retractable
element with a snap hook.
The worker must be connected to the system before accessing the
platform.

Trucks that are 12 m long
As the image below shows, when a 12-metre truck is loaded and
unloaded, two Alsipercha systems must be used simultaneously.
When parking the truck, the rear box/platform must be situated
according to the distances shown in the illustration below.
The worker must be attached to two Alsipercha systems. This will help
him control the movement on the 12 m long platform in the event of
a fall.
If it should be necessary to access the outer corners of the platform, it
is best to move the truck to ensure that the worker is within a range of
3.5 m from the structure.
