| We also provide good high rise safety
equipment consulting. A powered platform, “swing stage” or
‘stage”, is a work platform, whose frame is typically constructed
of aluminum. The stage is vertically propelled using electrically powered
motor(s), either traction hoist or drum type, on board. Compressed air
powered hoists are occasionally used in lieu of electrical power. The
platform, suspended by at least two independent wire ropes of 5/16 inch
diameter or greater, may be as short as three feet for a single man cage,
or as long as forty feet, carrying three men plus tools, equipment and
supplies.
Whether “ground rigged” or “roof
rigged”, the stage and its electrical cord are suspended from one
of several types of roof top supports, including: davits; rolling roof
carriage; outriggers; “drop thru” sleeves; monorail track;
parapet clamps or parapet hooks. |
