Scanclimber SC5000 & SC6000 mast climbers and SC1432 hoist used for facade work at Clarion Hotel

Suspended platforms offer several advantages that make them particularly valuable in construction, maintenance, and repair industries, especially when working on high-rise buildings. Here are some of the key benefits:
1. **Accessibility**: Suspended platforms provide access to high and hard-to-reach areas without the need for constructing permanent structures such as scaffolding. This is particularly useful for tasks like window cleaning, exterior painting, and facade repairs on tall buildings.
2. **Cost-Effectiveness**: Using a suspended platform can be more cost-effective than other methods such as erecting traditional scaffolding. It requires less material and labor to set up and dismantle, which can lead to significant savings, especially on large projects.
3. **Flexibility**: These platforms can be easily adjusted to different heights and positions, allowing workers to access various parts of a building's exterior quickly and efficiently. This adaptability makes them suitable for a wide range of tasks.
4. **Safety**: When properly used with safety harnesses and other protective gear, suspended platforms provide a secure work environment. They are designed with guardrails and other safety features to protect workers from falls.
5. **Efficiency**: Suspended platforms can be deployed and relocated relatively quickly, which helps reduce the overall time spent on projects. This efficiency can be crucial in minimizing disruption in urban environments or in commercial settings where time is of the essence.
6. **Minimal Impact on Building Structure**: Unlike some types of scaffolding, suspended platforms do not require anchoring into the building's facade, which can be beneficial for historic or delicate structures where minimal impact is desired.
Overall, suspended platforms are an indispensable tool in modern construction and maintenance, offering a blend of safety, efficiency, and flexibility that is hard to match with other access methods.

http://www.scanclimber.com - Clarion Hotel Helsinki is a 16-storey structure including two towers, the highest being at the height of 78 meters. The second shorter tower will be 68.5 meters high. The two towers are going to be connected by a transparent glass footbridge. The material used for the façade of the hotel was lighter which mainly consisted of composite aluminum plate. Scanclimber contributed to this project with 3 mast climbing platforms, 2x SC5000, an SC6000 and a construction hoist SC1432. Mainly the mast climbing platforms were used for façade work of the hotel. The crane deployed on the site lifted the façade material from ground level to attachment position where it is mounted by workers on SC5000 and SC6000 mast climbing platform. A hoist was required at the site in order to accelerate work on interiors of the building in parallel to the façade work. Scanclimber SC1432 was deployed for quick and efficient transportation of material and labor inside the building.
