Scanclimber mast climbers with monorail lifting equipment at facade work at Hotel Stadt Lörrach

Suspended platforms are known by several other terms, which can vary depending on the region and specific industry. Here are some alternative names for suspended platforms:
1. **Swing Stage**: This is a common term used particularly in the United States and Canada. It emphasizes the platform's ability to swing or hang while suspended by ropes or cables.
2. **Suspended Scaffold**: This term highlights the temporary scaffold aspect of the platform, which is suspended from above, similar to traditional scaffolding but with the flexibility of being movable vertically.
3. **Hanging Scaffold**: Similar to "suspended scaffold," this term is used to describe the scaffold that hangs from a structure above it.
4. **Cradle**: In the UK and some other parts of Europe, suspended platforms are often referred to as cradles, emphasizing the platform's role in cradling workers as they perform tasks at height.
5. **Suspended Swing Stage**: This term combines elements of "swing stage" and "suspended scaffold," providing a clear description of the platform's function and design.
6. **Suspended Work Platform**: A more descriptive term, it clearly indicates the platform’s purpose for facilitating work at elevated heights.
7. **Suspended Access Platform**: This term is sometimes used to emphasize the platform's role in providing access to otherwise inaccessible areas, particularly on building exteriors.

Each of these terms might be preferred in different contexts or regions, but they all refer to the same type of equipment used for safe and efficient work at heights.

http://www.scanclimber.com - Upon completion, Hotel Stadt Lörrach in south west Germany would be a 20-story building consisting 221 rooms. The major challenge in this construction project was the lack of operational space available on the construction site on main avenue. Scanclimber provided SC2032 construction hoists and total 8 SC4000 and SC5000 mast climbing work platforms which took less space and installation time as compared to scaffolding.

Additionally, Scanclimber delivered monorails which helped in lifting the heavy façade modules. These monorails were installed at the roof top of the building. The monorail was able to move along the top of each side helping to cover the whole façade, that enabled convenient handling of the heavy façade elements without tedious effort.
