Permanent Access
	Building Maintenance Units		click to enlarge B.M.U's are permanently installed roof cars for maintenance workers to safely access all area's of a building's facade for inspection, repairs, waterproofing and regular window cleaning.
	Monorail Systems	Railscaf®	click to enlarge Monorail systems in certain cases offer an excellent alternative to the traditional BMU units. For recessed or overhanging facades, for buildings with a sloped roof and especially for cleaning the inside of glazed atria, such as those covering modern commercial centres, monorails combined with cradles suspended from manual or powered trolleys are sometimes the only practical solution.
	Ladder Systems		click to enlarge A wide variety of solutions use ladders and platforms which are either vertically mounted or sloped, guided along rails and designed to blend in with the shape and colour of the background of the building. Travelling ladders and platforms are simple and economic solutions, but still require detailed study of the installation. If consultation takes place at an early stage it may be possible to simplify the system even further.
	Mobile Suspension Systems		click to enlarge Portable suspension systems mounted on bases permanently fitted along the roof are well known in North America. These mobile davits, as they are called, allow the cradle to be moved from one section to another to reach the different areas of the building's facade and to be stored on the roof.
	Outriggers		Push-out Outrigger arms can be used as an alternative to traditional Davit systems. Used primarily with high parapet walls, screenwalls, and mansard roofs. Outriggers consist of either a portable or fixed anchor point on the roof and provide for ground rigging of platforms or boatswains chairs. The ground area must be clear and free of obstructions to permit rigging of the platform or workcage.
	Powered Platforms		Powered Platforms are the most popular solution for exterior building access in North America. SWINGSTAGE® is the leader in the design and provision of these systems. Our extensive experience is reflected in the advanced features incorporated into every product we produce.
	Davits		A Davit system is not limited to just powered platforms, Boatswain's chairs can also be suspended from a Davit support. The benefit of using the Davit is that no load is applied to the parapet or railing of the building.
	Stabilization Anchors		Stabilization Anchors must be installed in buildings over 130' (75' in New York and 150' in Canada), with the first being no more then 50' from the top of the building. The vertical distance between anchors must be no more then 50' or 3 floors whichever is less.
	Tieback Anchors		When securing building maintenance systems, including outriggers and Boatswain's chairs to buildings, our range of safety tieback anchors provide the code-regulated level of safety required ensuring problem-free equipment use.
	Travsafe Horizontal Lifelines	TRAVSAFE®	Travsafe is a permanent; dual wire rope lifeline system designed to permit access to the building perimeter with low parapets. It is designed to protect users equipped with a harness and lanyard from falls as they traverse the line. The system provides many building access solutions.
Temporary Suspended Access Systems
	Lightweight Aluminium Platforms	Skysafe®	click to enlarge The equipment is intended for facade maintenance. It has been designed for a working load which is indicated on the labels.
	Temporary Suspension	Blocstop®	click to enlarge Capacity ranges from 500 to 2000 kg.
Lifting and Handling
	Griphoists	Tirfor	click to enlarge TIRFOR machines are lever operated hoists using a separate wire rope. One-man operated, using a telescopic operating handle, they can work in any position and over any height of lift. They can replace conventional winches and other hoists for many applications.
	Lever Hoists	Bravo®	click to enlarge Range of lever hoists lightweight, compact, powerful and easy to operate.
	Electric Hoists	Minifor®	click to enlarge A complete range of electric hoists for a wide range of applications, portable and powerful for unlimited heights of lift.
	Material Hoists	Tirak®	click to enlarge The tirak® is an ideal material hoist for a multiplicity of applications.
Load Measurement
	Load Limiting Monitors	Dynasafe®	The wide variety of wire rope lifting systems require an equivalent range of overload limiters.
	Dynamometers	DYNAFOR®	The DYNAFOR principle is based on the use of strain gauges which give an electrical signal under strain, relative to the load applied and displayed on the LCD.
