Stanley assists the genie and the lamps
April 1st 2008 If you have ever visited a
church or cathedral, gazed
up at the ceiling and
wondered how the
maintenance staff get up
there, the answer is that
they may well be getting a
Genie to do it.
Access platform distributor,
Working at Height, supplied
Genie AWP Super Series
portable work platforms to
both Westminster and
Rochester Cathedrals to
enable maintenance
personnel to change the
bulbs in these tall and
awkwardly shaped edifices.
Unlike factories and
warehouses, cathedrals do
not have flat floors and
ceilings, so moving the units
easily around the sites
presented a problem.
Stanley Handling
provided the solution. Its
heavy duty PowerMate M2B
powered stairclimbers were
supplied with the portable
work platforms as a total
package. PowerMate enables
staff to manoeuvre the
platform units, which can
weigh in excess of 350kg, in
and around the cathedral
with minimal manual
handling effort.
The unit will negotiate
thresholds, steps, narrow
passages and even low
archways More articles from Stanley Handling Limited: |
