Mastclimbers solve space problem

McCrory Scaffold has used a combination of mastclimbers and a hoist to solve a space problem in Belfast. The development in
Gloucester Street features a glass front but space between the building and street was limited.

A Geda 1500 Z/ZP was used for transporting men and materials

After checking different possibilities, McCrory Scaffolding Ltd of Lurgan was chosed with the mastclimber and hoist solution.
The Irish company specialises in scaffolds but expanded its business by offering Geda equipment two years ago.

McCrory’s solution included three mast climbing platforms and a transport platform. Men and material is transported to the different levels by using the GEDA 1500 Z/ZP transport platform.

Three Geda mast climbing platforms were rented from McCrory Scaffold

The unit can also be used as a material hoist only, which increases its capacity to 2000 kg. The three GEDA MCP 750/1500 mast climbing platforms are mainly used for assembly of the glass front.

The units offer a up to 16.7 metre wide platform with a load bearing capacity of up to 1500 kg and a lifting height of 100 metres. Each platform can be used as a single mast or twin mast version. To meet national requirements and the safety of the workers seven landing level safety gates were also installed.
