Window Cleaning - Window Cleaning Equipment
|
Over
the last twelve years we have successfully performed window
cleaning equipment consulting on a hundred buildings (new and
existing) throughout the United States, a testament to the expertise
and experience possessed by this engineering company. The company’s
principal engineer, Craig S. Caulkins, a 1973 Civil (structural)
Engineering graduate from Vanderbilt University, is a Registered
Professional Engineer in California, Florida, New York, Massachusetts
and numerous other States.
The picture above depicts a roof top window cleaning
equipment.
Roof Carriage
The roof carriage
is similar to a rolling davit carriage except the counterweighted
carriage usually rolls on non-pneumatic rubber tires instead
of rails. The carriage may be mechanically propelled or pushed
manually to each drop position around the periphery of the roof.
Once positioned, the carriage’s tie-down arm, similar in design
to that of the roof car, is pinned and electrically interlocked
to the roof tie-down lug. The assembly’s pair of davit shaped
arms often do not tilt down or rotate because the entire carriage
assembly can be rolled away from the parapet, out of view, eliminating
the need for previously described davit features.
