Solution

A suspended platform equipped with inclined stirrups (C-frames) and wheels to adapt to the required angle, achieving total stability throughout the entire path of the inclined wall.

The components of the platform are small in size to allow for the safe assembly of the platform while already suspended inside the shaft. The equipment is supported by beam clamps anchored to an existing beam, with its strength previously verified through a load test.

Important parts of the platform are standard components from the Komplet range.

The new certified Accesus suspended platform allows for the replacement of an old and unsafe platform.

  • Project Ref: 211037
  • Maximum Height: 50 meters
  • Working Angle: 75º
  • Regulations: 2006/42/EC, EN 1808
