Powered Platforms

Powered Platforms are the most popular solution for exterior building access in North America. SWINGSTAGE® is the leader in the design and provision of these systems. Our extensive experience is reflected in the advanced features incorporated into every product we produce. Tractel’s Powered Platforms feature the patented Tirak® powered hoist, which is the only traction hoist that has dual reeler’s integral with the main drive shaft. This simplicity in design and a unique level winding mechanism ensures that the suspension wire ropes are wound onto the storage reelers evenly, which virtually eliminates slack wire rope problems common with other traction hoisting systems.

Powered Platform sections are available with end or intermediate stirrups. Both can be assembled with additional modular sections to different lengths in order to accommodate a changing façade, and include all code-required safety features fully integrated. Extensive use of corrosion-resistant materials and robust construction ensures reliability and long life.

Modern architecture can even defy the ingenious design of standard TRACTEL® machines. Our technology and know-how adapt very well to non-standard solutions. Nevertheless, the earlier the access problem is addressed, the less complicated and expensive the solution will be.
