Powered Platform Systems for Modern Buildings

In the fast-growing urban landscapes of Singapore, Australia, and the wider Asia-Pacific, buildings are reaching new heights with increasingly complex designs. The powered platform from Facade Access Solutions is a versatile and cost-effective choice for many structures. These units are specifically engineered to provide a stable work environment at height, ensuring that your maintenance teams can operate with confidence and precision.

By integrating advanced technology from our world-renowned brands, namely Tractel, Manntech, and CoxGomyl, we deliver systems that prioritize safety and operational uptime. Whether you are managing a commercial tower in Sydney or a luxury high-rise in Singapore, our solutions are designed to comply with local safety standards while maximizing productivity.

Superior Engineering and Technical Specifications

Our powered platform systems are built on a foundation of innovation and durability to handle the unique environmental factors of the APAC Region.

  • TIRAK® Hoisting Technology: At the heart of every system is the advanced TIRAK® traction hoist. It is the only model featuring dual reelers integrated directly into the main drive shaft. This design, paired with a level winding mechanism, ensures suspension wire ropes wind evenly, reducing rope slack and minimizing downtime.
  • Built for Longevity: To withstand harsh coastal and tropical climates, the main platform structure is built from high-grade aluminum. Critical components use hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel, while weather-resistant control enclosures ensure reliable performance in outdoor environments.
  • Safety First Design: Every unit is code-compliant and includes emergency overspeed braking, overload protection, slack rope detection, and certified fall protection anchor points.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum safe working load (SWL) of a powered platform?

The load capacity varies depending on the specific model and configuration. Generally, our platforms are designed to safely carry two operators plus their equipment, with total capacities ranging from 250kg to 500kg.

Can these platforms be used on buildings with curved facades?

Yes. Tractel platforms use a modular design that allows for configuration adjustments based on building shape and access requirements. Our teams specialize in adapting platforms to follow unique architectural profiles.

How often does the equipment require a height safety inspection?

To ensure safety and compliance with regional standards, we recommend a comprehensive service and inspection every six to twelve months. Our local service teams in Singapore and Australia are available for routine maintenance and emergency repairs.

Are these systems compatible with an existing anchor point?

In many cases, yes. Our powered platforms can often be retrofitted to work with existing Tractel or other brand-compatible roof anchors and davits, provided they meet current safety certifications.

Other Important Info

System Operation and Versatility
Professional Standards and Safety
Engineering Excellence

The powered platform is a suspended scaffold system that utilizes motorized hoists to travel along the exterior of a structure. This equipment can be successfully suspended from davit arms, monorails, or specialized roof cars depending on the project requirements.

All facade access equipment must be operated exclusively by trained and qualified professionals. To maintain the warranty and ensure total operator safety, regular inspections and strict adherence to Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) regulations in Singapore or AS/NZS standards for a height safety system in Australia are mandatory.

By leveraging the engineering excellence and global reputation of Manntech and CoxGomyl, we ensure your building remains in peak condition. Our solutions often integrate additional safety components such as edge protection, guardrails, or a specialized rescue system to provide a comprehensive safety environment for all personnel.
