Scanclimber SC8000 mast climber cladding the 148 m Eurotower skyscraper in Frankfurt, Germany

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.

http://www.scanclimber.com The façade of the 148 meters (486 feet) tall Eurotower in Frankfurt is being clad with heavy panels by using Scanclimber SC8000 mast climbing work platforms. This 40-storey high-rise office building was formerly the headquarters of the European Central Bank (ECB). The SC8000 mast climber is ideal for heavy-duty façade work, and for projects requiring extra-large platform size. You can lift materials and workers to the desired working height safely and conveniently at the same time. A mast climbing work platform saves time and money at work sites.
