Roof car suspension system

Roof car suspension system

Working at height legislation:
EN 1808:2015
EN60204-1
Directive 2006/42/EC

Description

The roof-mounted car enables maintenance of large facades.
The system consists of a jib crane, a frame, roof rails and mounting brackets.
The roof car moves horizontally, either by pushing or by translation motors.
These systems combine discretion and efficiency, and are ideal for buildings up to 40m high.
When parked, the mast is tilted horizontally, then removed from the roof car. In use, the lifting arm is pivoted to the roof side to suspend the synthetic ropes from the 2 anchor points. It is considered a façade maintenance device.

Advantages

  • Light solution easy to move
  • Respect the aesthetics of the building
  • Trolley can be operated by battery or manually
  • Usable by rope access specialists, RopeClimber hoists and cradles alike
  • Maximum working load of 240 kg (529 lbs) for manual trolleys and 480kg (1058 lbs) for motorized versions
  • Jib reach up to 1560mm (5’1”) for manual trolleys and up to 2900mm (9’6”) for motorized versions
  • Possibility of custom-made solutions with the Fallprotec’s engineering department

Applications

  • Suspended platforms
  • Maintenance of airport facades
  • Maintenance of Hospital facades
  • Maintenance of commercial office and mall facades
  • Maintenance of skyscraper
