Crawler-mounted Access Platforms For Height Access
High entrance and reception halls, lots of glass, lavish interior layouts: these are some of the characteristics of modern buildings. Modern architecture finds itself in conflict between aesthetic and functionality. Investors, architects, and building managers should cogitate about planning stage of any building height access technology or solution for cleaning, maintenance, and so forth at great height. Seeing the burgeoning demand of height Access solution, Teupen has been offering many different types of access platforms; scissor lifts, trailer-mounted, self-propelled straight and articulated booms, truck-mounted and rubber-crawler-mounted.
Teupen Maschinenbau G.m.b.H., Gronau, Germany's latest offer to the market is “Spiders.” This company has been successfully active in world markets for many years with this technology. No situation is too complex, no space is too small, and no surface is too sensitive for this technology. The focus of this development is the LEO range of machines from 12-50m.
The question from real estate users of how to work at height in and around buildings is asked almost daily, reports Frank Stenton, Export Regional Sales Manager, Middle + Far East and all too often there is no solution possible any more and they have to live with the problems, he explains. This means above 3m cleaning and maintenance work cannot be done.
The Teupen LEO range has width/height adjustable crawlers for travelling over rough terrain, or uneven surfaces.
Rubber-crawler-mounted machines are more manoeuvrable than wheeled machines in small spaces, as they do not need to describe a turning radius, cause less pressure on surfaces in travelling or working modes as tyres.
For outside use, a diesel engine is fitted as standard, whereby for inside work use of electric mains is standard, or batteries. LPG is further power option.
Tailor-Mades Height Access Solutions are needed to overcome unusual architectural problems on buildings. In this case, Teupen is the leading expert in constructing one-off solutions; as for the “Gherkin” in London, Berlin Central Railway Stadion and many others. Their know-how and technology is unique and sought by architects and developers globally either for serial models, but often tailor-made one-off solutions.
