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

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 - 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.

Scanclimber hoist family offers different options in cage sizes, lifting speeds, payload capacities, landing gates, cage doors, and mast anchorings with various additional features. Some of the additional features include computer controlled landing system with pulse encoders, fault diagnostic system, overload detection, automatic hydraulic ramp and rack lubrication. Such features expand the hoist customization and application possibilities.
