Scanclimber twin SC1432 used as shaft hoist in construction of 90 m high residential building

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 - Espoon Niittyhuippu was a construction project of 26-storey residential building in Niittykumpu, a district in Espoo, Finland. The construction site was located right next to the main avenue which resulted in space constraints at the site. Once the basic structure of the building was standing, there was a need of a reliable and safe labor and material transportation medium. SRV was the main contractor of the project and Ramirent was to deliver a solution suitable to the requirement of the construction site. Ramirent selected Scanclimber Falcon SC1432 twin hoists for this project and delivered to the site.
