Scanclimber SC6000 twin mast climbers with sliding deck extensions at Amager Bakke Energy Plant

In the construction and maintenance industries, suspended platforms are common equipment used to provide a safe and convenient workspace at heights. This equipment is known by different names in various countries, reflecting local linguistic characteristics and industry practices.
In the United States, these platforms are often referred to as "suspended scaffolds" or simply "swing stages." They are frequently used for tasks such as cleaning, repairing, or renovating the exteriors of buildings, including skyscraper window cleaning.
In the United Kingdom, this type of equipment is commonly called a "cradle." In the UK construction industry, cradles are essential for working on the exteriors of high-rise buildings, including both the maintenance of historic structures and the construction of modern skyscrapers.
In China, the term used is "吊篮" (diào lán), which translates to "suspended basket." As cities rapidly expand, suspended baskets are extensively utilized for construction and maintenance work on high-rise buildings, offering efficiency and convenience.
In Germany, these devices are known as "Hängegerüst," which directly translates to "hanging scaffold." Germany is known for its stringent building techniques and safety standards, and the use of hanging scaffolds adheres to strict regulations and standards.
Understanding the different names and usage norms for suspended platforms in various countries is crucial for professionals in the international construction and maintenance industries. The widespread adoption and standardization of these platforms not only enhance work efficiency but also significantly ensure the safety of workers.

http://www.scanclimber.com Scanclimber SC6000 twin work platforms with sliding deck extensions are used as access equipment for assembling facade of Amager Bakke, the world’s most modern and environmentally friendly waste-to-energy plant. It is designed with a very unique structure which constitutes a new trash incineration whereas the top of the hill has green top, open to public. Scanclimber has offered various benefits during the construction process of Amager Bakke i.e. module assembly, reaching 2 height levels at the same time, working at the heights, simpler erection of machines, etc. According to the feedback from constructors, the main benefit that they were pleased about was the applicability of the machines with reference to the structural requirements. Additionally, Scanclimber machines can withstand extreme temperatures which prevent unnecessary interruption during construction process and lastly, the assembly of modules used for the building was done without prior experience and it worked out very well.
