Choosing a permanent powered platform is an investment in safe, efficient, and high-performing facade access. Facade Access Solutions EMEAI supplies CoxGomyl powered platforms engineered to meet the demanding needs of modern buildings across EMEAI such as the United Kingdom, Middle East, Africa and India. These systems are essential for managing work at height requirements on complex structures.
CoxGomyl powered platforms feature TIRAK® hoisting technology, designed to prevent issues commonly associated with traditional traction systems, such as wire rope slack. The hoist uses dual reelers integrated into the main drive shaft and a level-winding system to ensure ropes wind evenly. This reduces wear, minimises downtime, and maintains consistent performance over thousands of operational cycles.
Our platforms are crafted from high-grade aluminium, with critical components made from hot-dip galvanised or stainless steel. Weather-resistant control enclosures, robust suspension wire ropes, and integrated safety features ensure durability and reliable performance, even in challenging outdoor conditions.
Safety is central to every facade access system we deliver. CoxGomyl powered platforms include:
All systems are designed and certified according to international safety standards, with professional engineering verification.
CoxGomyl powered platforms provide secure and efficient access for a wide range of buildings, including:
Commercial towers for window cleaning, inspection, and maintenance
Healthcare facilities requiring minimal disruption and robust safety
High-rise residential buildings for reliable daily upkeep
Mixed-use developments with complex architectural designs
Institutional buildings for routine cleaning and major renovation projects
These platforms are often used alongside specialized building maintenance units (BMU) to ensure total facade coverage.
Facade Access Solutions EMEAI, part of the Alimak Group, combines decades of engineering experience with worldwide expertise. Our partnerships with trusted brands, including Tractel, Manntech, and CoxGomyl, ensure clients receive proven access systems, reliable support, and long-term service.
A CoxGomyl powered platform is a suspended scaffold system that uses motorised TIRAK® hoists to raise and lower a working platform along a building façade, typically supported by davits or a monorail. These are frequently referred to as cradle systems in the UK market.
The TIRAK® hoist is a powered traction system with a unique design. It has dual reelers mounted on the main drive shaft and a level-winding mechanism to ensure the suspension ropes are wound evenly, avoiding slack and reducing wear.
Yes. CoxGomyl powered platforms use a modular design, so the platform’s length and configuration can be adapted to match a variety of building modules and facade geometries while meeting specific access needs.
Absolutely. Tractel systems are engineered and installed to comply with the relevant British, Middle East, India, Africa, and other international safety standards. Each system goes through rigorous design and certification by qualified engineers.
Powered platforms are built for durability and low maintenance. Regular checks should include wire ropes, control systems, and brake mechanisms. Facade Access Solutions EMEAI provides ongoing cradle maintenance and support, including annual inspections, part replacements, and system recertification.
Yes, the systems can be retrofitted. Our engineering team assesses the building’s structural capability and designs mounting solutions that integrate seamlessly without compromising the architecture.
We provide detailed technical documentation, including specifications, design guides, and compliance information, to support architects, engineers, and contractors in planning and integrating powered platforms effectively.
Our team delivers complete installation, on-site evaluations, and commissioning. We also provide operator training, regular inspections, and ongoing maintenance to ensure each powered platform operates safely and efficiently throughout its service life.
Facade Access Solutions EMEAI is dedicated to maintaining the long-term reliability of every system. Our services include maintenance, parts replacement, system upgrades, and recertification, ensuring safety, compliance, and performance year after year.
