In the fast-growing urban landscapes of Singapore, Australia, and the wider Asia-Pacific, high-rise buildings are reaching new heights with increasingly complex designs. The powered platform from Facade Access Solutions, also known as a building maintenance unit (BMU) or suspended access equipment, is a versatile and cost-effective choice for many structures. These maintenance units are specifically designed to provide a stable work environment at height, so your facade maintenance teams can operate with confidence and precision.
By integrating advanced technology from our world-renowned brands, namely Tractel, Manntech, and CoxGomyl, we deliver safety systems that prioritize worker safety and operational uptime. Whether you are a building owner or facility manager overseeing a commercial tower in Sydney or a luxury high-rise in Singapore, our access platforms are designed to comply with local safety standards while maximizing productivity.
Our powered platform and building maintenance unit systems are built on a foundation of innovation and durability to handle the unique environmental factors of the APAC Region.
Throughout the APAC Region, Tractel powered access platforms are the preferred choice across various industries and industrial applications. These BMU systems offer safe and flexible facade access for any architectural requirement:
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.
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 and their vertical access paths to follow unique architectural profiles.
To maintain safety and compliance with regional standards, we recommend a comprehensive service and inspection every six to twelve months, including post use checks. Our local service teams in Singapore and Australia are available for routine maintenance and emergency repairs.
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.
The powered platform is a suspended scaffold and suspended access system that uses 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 support worker safety, regular inspections and strict adherence to safety requirements such as 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 our Manntech and CoxGomyl brands, we help keep your building 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 and support worker protection.
