MAST CLIMBERS

Mast climbers are renowned in the construction industry for their ability to cut costs, increase productivity and improve worker safety.

VERSATILITY AND SAFETY

Mast climbers have a larger more versatile work platform, have a greater load capacity, and can go much higher than Elevating Work Platforms. Unlike EWPs they are stationary, not self propelled, and can be free-standing to 20 m, after which they are tied in or anchored to the building.

 

The mast climber's unique rack and pinion design allows workers to be positioned at any height, regardless of weather, for jobs such as external maintenance or construction of structures at almost any height.

SITE PRODUCTIVITY AND UPTIME

Mast climbers can provide ergonomic work platforms for unobstructed access in challenging circumstances. They allow workers to take materials and tools with them, as the platform travels up and down the structure, and can be used for a range of construction, installation or maintenance work.

 

On jobs such as bricklaying, painting, plastering, and façade and cladding work, they provide a stable movable platform which reduces work time and improves scheduling and sequencing of activities. This improves working conditions and increases productivity, thereby reducing costs and overall timeframes.

THE RIGHT SOLUTION FOR THE JOB

Our mast climbers of choice are Scanclimber and Alimak Hek which are strong and versatile.

 

We can design the right solution for your application, even in the most challenging situations.

 

For indoor applications we have flexible light weight options which are easier to erect in narrow spaces.

 

For outdoor applications we have mast climbers with superior engineering, which means only half the amount of ties are required. Their larger capacity means faster installation and reduced patching once the ties are removed.

In addition to mast climbers, HiReach also offers Alimak Hek and Scanclimber man and material hoists (also known as a builder's hoist or construction hoist).

CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE

Mast climbers and hoists are popular for external renovations and painting, hotel facade cladding work, office building glazing or cleaning, bridge construction or maintenance, in lift shafts, ship yards, power plants and more. For these types of uses mast climbers and hoists are about as versatile as you'll find.

 

For installation, replacement and maintenance of alpolic cladding and all external cladding types, mast climbers are unmatched for their efficiency and ease of use. For any work involved in upgrades to external facades on existing buildings, or access to balconies or window installation, mast climbers offer the flexibility of multiple people working together to complete the job, as well as having materials and tools at hand.
