The BoSS Camlock AGR MK2 Advance Guardrail Frames are key components for protecting users from falling from height when building and using BoSS AGR Camlock towers. They are designed to improve safety and efficiency in construction, maintenance, and industrial applications. Available in 1.8m (model 36361500) and 2.5m (model 36361600) widths, these frames offer a faster, safer, and easier alternative to traditional tower assembly methods. Ideal for scaffolding, building trades, and height-access work, they ensure tower rigidity and prioritise safety during setup and operation. Made from high-quality aircraft-grade aluminium, the BoSS Camlock AGR MK2 meets EN 1004 safety standards, making it the reliable choice for demanding work environments.
Key features and specifications:
- Quicker and simpler assembly: Fewer components simplify the build process, reducing setup time and complexity for more efficient on-site use.
- Enhanced safety design: The advanced guardrail is secured before the operator ascends, minimising fall risks and promoting safer working conditions.
- Superior rigidity: The positive camlock action securely locks the frame, ensuring stability and structural integrity during tower operation.
- Excellent grip: The ribbed rung tubing offers a secure hold, even in challenging conditions, for confident climbing and handling.
- Durable construction: Made from high-quality aircraft-grade aluminium, offering lightweight strength and long-lasting performance in demanding professional environments.
- Compact storage: The frames fold neatly for easy transportation and space-saving storage, ideal for mobile work crews.

Product FAQs
What is it used for?
The BoSS Camlock AGR MK2 frame is a key component in mobile access tower systems, providing structural support and integrated guardrails during tower assembly. It’s designed for applications in construction, maintenance, painting, and electrical work that require safe elevated access. The camlock system allows rapid setup while ensuring the guardrail is installed early in the build process, enhancing overall safety and preventing falls.
How does the Camlock mechanism improve safety?
The positive Camlock action securely fastens the frame, preventing movement or instability. When combined with the advanced guardrail feature, it ensures protection is established before users climb, reducing accident risk and aligning with industry safety regulations, such as the Work at Height Regulations.
What are the differences between the 1.8m and 2.5m models?
The primary differences are in width and weight: The 1.8m model (36361500) has a width of 1.9m (open width 1.8m) and weighs 8.4kg, making it suitable for narrower spaces or lighter-duty tasks. The 2.5m model (36361600) offers a wider 2.6m (open width 2.5m) footprint and weighs 10kg, making it ideal for broader platforms that require added stability. Both share the same open height of 1.59m and depth of 0.15m.
Is it compatible with other BoSS tower components?
Yes, these frames are fully compatible with the BoSS mobile access tower range, allowing seamless integration into existing systems. Always consult the manufacturer’s compatibility guidelines or a certified scaffold tower expert to ensure proper setup.
What are they made from, and why?
These frames are constructed from high-quality aircraft-grade aluminium, chosen for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and durability. This material ensures the product withstands rigorous use in professional environments while remaining lightweight for easy handling.
How should I store and transport these frames?
The frames fold compactly, making them easy to store in limited spaces, such as vans or warehouses. For transportation, secure them to prevent damage and avoid exposure to extreme weather. Regular inspections for wear are recommended to maintain safety standards.
Are there any certifications or standards these frames meet?
BoSS products, including the Camlock AGR MK2 frame, are manufactured to EN 1004 standards for mobile access towers, ensuring compliance with European safety requirements. For specific certifications, refer to the product manual or contact the manufacturer.
What is the difference between the AGR method and the 3T (Through the Trapdoor) method?
The AGR method, used with these Camlock MK2 frames, allows guardrails to be installed in advance from the protected platform below, ensuring collective fall protection before ascending. In contrast, the 3T method involves the operator positioning themselves through the trapdoor on the platform to fit guardrails while remaining protected. Both are recognised safe assembly methods recommended by PASMA and HSE, but AGR typically offers faster setup with fewer components.
Is training required to assemble towers with these AGR frames?
Yes, PASMA (Prefabricated Access Suppliers’ and Manufacturers’ Association) training is strongly recommended for anyone who erects, dismantles, or inspects the BoSS Camlock AGR MK2 Advance Guardrail Frames. PASMA covers safe methods such as AGR and ensures compliance with work-at-height regulations.
