Gantry systems and rolling ladders are trusted equipment for building maintenance, providing safe and direct access to hard-to-reach areas. They allow smooth horizontal movement across facades, atriums, and glass roofs, making regular cleaning, inspections, and repairs more efficient. By gliding along fixed tracks or beams, gantry systems reduce downtime and keep maintenance operations consistent across large building surfaces.
For building owners, architects, and contractors, the reliability of an overhead gantry system supports both safety and productivity. These systems are designed to handle demanding access needs while maintaining the visual integrity of complex structures. Rolling ladders add further flexibility, giving crews safe mobility where permanent systems are not suitable.
At Facade Access Solutions, we provide engineered gantry designs and rolling ladder equipment across North America. Our solutions are built with long service life in mind and meet strict safety regulations and standards, making them dependable for daily operations as well as long-term building care. With our expertise, clients gain a proven approach to facade maintenance that supports both performance and protection.
Modern buildings often feature bold designs, from sweeping atriums to breathtaking skylights and glass roofs. Gantry systems stand out for their ability to adapt to these architectural complexities, providing flexibility where traditional access equipment falls short. They allow crews to safely navigate areas that would otherwise be unreachable, giving building owners a reliable option for long-term maintenance.
Whether accessing towering glass walls, or intricate roof structures, gantry systems can be engineered to meet the needs of nearly any project. Their adaptability makes them the go-to choice for architects and contractors working with one-of-a-kind structures. This versatility means gantry systems are equally suitable for new construction or retrofit projects, supporting continuous use across a wide range of building types.
Time and efficiency are vital in building operations. Gantry systems let teams transport cleaning equipment, handle inspections, and minor repairs quickly and with minimal disruption, gliding along tracks to cover large areas while maintaining building integrity.
Engineered for longevity, our lightweight gantries are built from high-strength, weather-resistant materials that stand up to the rigors of daily use and harsh environments. This durability not only protects workers but also lowers lifetime ownership costs by minimizing replacements and repairs. A well-constructed gantry system can remain in service for decades, delivering consistent performance without compromising safety.
Worker safety is at the heart of every system we design. Every gantry meets or exceeds North American safety standards, protecting teams on every task and giving building owners confidence in fully compliant maintenance programs. With features that support safe lifting and stable movement, these systems give operators confidence during even the most challenging operations.
No two buildings are the same—and neither are our gantries. From design to installation, we create tailored systems that blend performance with aesthetics, integrating seamlessly into each building’s architecture without sacrificing visual appeal. Each system is developed to match project requirements, delivering access solutions that fit both the structure and the maintenance tasks they support.
As part of the Alimak Group, we bring together global innovation and local service. Supported by world-renowned brands like Manntech, Tractel, and CoxGomyl, we offer engineering expertise trusted across the globe. While our engineering foundation is international, our delivery is local. With operations across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, we provide responsive service tailored to regional needs while upholding global standards. This unique combination ensures every project receives cutting-edge design, backed by hands-on support right where it’s needed.
Façade gantries provide safe and efficient horizontal access for maintaining exteriors, including window cleaning,
inspections, and repairs on facades, glass roofs, and atriums.
Absolutely. Our systems are fully customizable to match complex architectural layouts, from unusual roof spans to
challenging facade features.
Yes. Gantries can be integrated into existing buildings, updating them with modern facade access solutions that
boost safety and efficiency.
We provide downloadable BIM files and detailed specification sheets that outline key details such as load capacity,
reach, and track design.
Yes. Our full-service approach includes consultation for overhead crane and gantry crane and hoist systems,
design, fabrication, installation, and ongoing support—ensuring reliable performance and regulatory compliance
for years to come.
We know architects, engineers, and building owners need precise details to plan confidently. That’s why we provide robust technical resources that simplify integration from the very beginning of a project.
On our website, you’ll find an extensive library of downloadable BIM files and technical sheets that cover essential data such as load capacities, track designs, reach, and compliance certifications. These tools empower design teams to integrate gantries smoothly into project blueprints, ensuring systems align with both structural requirements and operational goals.
At Facade Access Solutions, we don’t just supply gantry crane hoist equipment—we deliver an end-to-end partnership that ensures your gantry system performs for decades. A Seamless Process from Start to Finish Our approach begins with a detailed consultation, where we carefully assess your project requirements. From there, our engineers craft a custom design, followed by expert fabrication and installation carried out by skilled technicians. The result is a stress-free process that gives you confidence at every stage.
Our relationship doesn’t end with installation. To guarantee long-term safety and peak performance, we provide routine inspections and comprehensive maintenance programs. Regular servicing extends equipment lifespan, ensures ongoing compliance, and gives building owners peace of mind that their gantry system remains reliable year after year.
