IAPA Award Winner 2014 – Scanclimber Double Decker – Mast climbing product of the year

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.

The Scanclimber Double Decker is the winner in the IAPA Awards 2014 in the category "Product of the Year -- Mast Climbing Work Platforms/Hoists".

The Double Decker expansion transforms the standard mast climbing work platform to a dynamically aligning platform. That makes it easier and quicker to perform surface work on rounded, curved and arched surfaces.

The Double Decker platform is well suited for work on different types of 3 dimensional complex surfaces, like in construction and shipbuilding or similar industries where there is a need to work on facades or high horizontal surfaces with protruding obsctacles.
