When you are engaging with Fire Protection and Life safety clients, the challenges are even greater. One such client had to replace the sprinkler system in an underground parking garage, including replacing the sprinklers above the ramp which had a grade of 12 degrees and ran about 80 feet. The client tried multiple options but no other lift or equipment was able to lift on that steep a grade. The only other option was to potentially set up a scaffold at an enormous cost. The ramp would likely have to be shut down a full day for setup, and another couple of days to complete the work and tear it down. With these restrictions, Platform Basket 13.80 Spider was an excellent choice for the client. The machine is synonymous with versatility, compactness and ease of use. The machine has a noteworthy automatic outreach control system, a solution that allows to have more outreach in relation to the weight. With the spider setup in one lane and the boom arm reaching over the other lane, residents were able to be guided up the ramp and out, saving the client time, money and a lot of hassle.

A large construction general contractor client of ours had electrical and plumbing work to be completed in a new industrial build. The construction schedule had moved on with a 1.5 storey platform being built right below the area that needed the electrical and plumbing work. There was constraint of walls elsewhere in the facility, restricting access to all other Aerial Work Platforms (AWPs) on site. The other option would have been to tear down the walls to get other AWPs through to complete the work at height, followed by rebuilding those walls. That meant an increase in costs and revised schedule. Platform Basket 33.15 was the perfect choice. Articulated with telescopic boom, the 33.15 has the best up and over height. The working envelope made it a unique performer. The 33.15, because of its compact design, had plenty of room to navigate through the doorway that was too narrow for the other equipment. Using the Platform Basket spider lift helped the client stick to their timelines and not stray off the budget. Want to learn more? Call our sales team at 416.235.0996.
