Scanclimber SC8000 mast climbing work platform for heavy duty tasks

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.

Extreme loading capacity - up to 8000 kg with twin masts
The maximum loading capacity for single mast arrangements is 4500 kg and 8000 kg for a 15,8 m long twin mast arrangement. This permits the effortless transport of the heaviest of materials and in particular permits rapid machine loading of pallets of materials further improving cycle times. The generous 1,6 m wide platform can be equipped with extensions both at the front and back, this gives even more room to work or to 'mould' to the contours of the façade and can be up to 6 m in length. High strength, lightweight tubular steel handrail modules, in some cases telescopic, allow any angle of extension to be easily installed maintaining constant levels of personal security throughout the entire project quickly and efficiently again saving time and hence money.

Extreme deck length - more than 46 metres with twin masts
Scanclimber SC8000 deck sections are identical to those used on the sister SC5000 model. The structure of the deck sections has been developed via special steel profiles to provide maximum strength and torsional stiffness whilst minimising the self weight. For further strength the platform deck is also assembled using dual bolted joints. The deck modules are available in 0,5 metres, 0,8 metres or 1,6 metres in length. In single mast arrangements, the work platform can be up to 16,9 metres long as standard when the machine has an enormous payload of 2800 kg. Twin mast configurations can of course be assembled in which case the maximum standard length of the platform can reach 46,2 metres when the payload is still an impressive 1000 kg.
