The product can be used in a wide array of applications - see below for some
examples.
Overcladding
Fast, efficient installation of mullions, steel, panels, insulation, guttering,
facings, drylining, metsec etc.
Fast, efficient installation of wet render insulation cladding.
Platform face can be tailored to accommodate most recesses & protrusions.
Mastclimbers™ can install 24m wide x 60m high in 2 days and dismantle and clear
site in 1.5 days.
The MCWP is an environmentally friendly system that leaves occupants secure with
minimum disruption from vandalism etc.
Window replacement
Using MASTCLIMBERS™ can reduce contract duration by half.
Raising men, tools and new windows to work height and removing old windows and
debris from the outside means no disruption to internal corridors, elevators or
flats.
Replace 1000 windows on 20 storeys in 4 weeks (6 x carpenters & 6 x labourers).
Resident friendly system - no shrouding of windows & limited security risk
while work continues.
110v/240v hand tool power points on platforms.
Refurbishment
Using MASTCLIMBERS™ can reduce contract duration by one third.
Raise men and material to ideal working height.
Power tool sockets are standard & blasting lines (air or water) can be run
to the platform up the mast.
Assembly can be tailored to shroud uneven corners.
No climbing up ladders with heavy tools & materials.
An environmentally friendly system that leaves the occupants secure with minimum
disruption.
Industrial
Installation of steelwork, insulation and/or cladding panels is simple when using
Mastclimbers™.
Power tools, lighting & canopies on platform create a ‘workshop in the sky’.
Fast installation & dismantle minimises the site disruption for other trades.
No stretching or bending - always at ideal when working at height.
Bricklaying
MASTCLIMBERS™ are increasingly becoming the most efficient method of access on
bricklaying contracts.
Where material feeding of bricks, blocks and mortar is well co-ordinated and
mortar mix/setting times are carefully planned, production boosts of up to three
times can be enjoyed.
Three times the volume can be laid using quick setting mortar.
Masonry workers back complaints are significantly reduced.
Lift shaft
Machines can fit into spaces of less than 1.2m2.
Single machines are ideal for installing the cables/runners/doors/electrics/guides
etc for personnel lifts.
Larger machines can be designed for installing bigger lifts.
Machines can travel at up to 12m/min, thus enhancing the efficiency of the installation.
Curtain walling/glazing
Raising and installing heavy glass together with men and materials to ideal work
height.
Cranes/winches can be installed on platform mast to assist in lifting heavier
materials.
Inclined angle facades are no problem.
Limited inconvenience from tie supports.
SWL of up to 3500kg.
110v/240v hand tool power points on platforms.
Cleaning/painting
Painter always at correct level ensures even paint finish (spray or brush).
110v/240v hand tool points for cleaning or polishing.
Weather protection canopy options create a "Workshop in the sky" to execute tasks
safely, efficiently and to the benefit of operatives.
Work continues with no disruption pedestrians, shops, pavement and parking to
below.
Roof edge protection
MASTCLIMBERS™ can provide a continuous edge protection around the building’s
roof edge perimeter while work above continues.
Easy conveyance for beams and girders and awkward shaped material.
No ties around new roof structure required.
Back hand rail can be extended to increase safety and prevent materials falling
to the ground.
Up to 10m oversail available.
Special applications inclined platforms
As well as access to vertical facades, MASTCLIMBERS™ are able to provide access
to buildings with either acute or obtuse angled facades.
Specially designed base and drive units can achieve exactly the right angle for
installing glass panels whilst providing a horizontal platform to work from.
Platforms can then be progressively dismantled, fitting the final panels as ties
are removed.
Shelf brackets/load bearing supports
Harsco Infrastructure pioneered the ‘shelf-bracket’, a load bearing arrangement
of MKII formwork components designed to take the weight of an MCWP.
This system is best used where there is a requirement to suspend a machine above
a non load-bearing structure.
Successful in tackling problems posed by non load-bearing roofs.
Anchors into the floor slab and provides a stable base from which the MASTCLIMBERS™
can be built.
Weather protection canopies
Completely enclosed platform provides a ‘Workshop in the Sky’ for operatives.
Weather-protected work environment.
Power outlets for lighting, hand tools, heaters etc.
Double deck platforms
Complete façade installation at twice the speed.
Safely and efficiently install large vertical façade cladding panels.
Provide men and material access to areas above and below any large protrusions
from building façade.
