Over time, Building Maintenance Units (BMUs), monorails, davits, and self-powered platforms face wear that affects safety and reliability. Full replacement is not always necessary. Refurbishment restores critical systems to peak performance, extends operational life, and brings equipment up to current OSHA, CSA, and ANSI standards.
Our refurbishment solutions reduce downtime, improve safety, and provide building owners with a cost-effective alternative to replacement. With the combined expertise of CoxGomyl, Manntech, and Tractel under the Alimak Group, we deliver engineered solutions backed by global experience and regional support across North America.

BMU refurbishment provides a cost-effective alternative to full system replacement for building owners and contractors. Each project begins with a diagnostic inspection and load testing to evaluate the condition of building maintenance units, davits, and powered platforms. Worn or outdated components are replaced with manufacturer-approved parts, restoring performance and extending the service life of the system.
Upgrades often include fall protection systems, facade maintenance systems, and control technologies designed to improve safety, reliability, and efficiency. For high-rise buildings and complex façades, refurbishment minimizes disruption to operations and reduces downtime compared to complete replacement.
Timely facade access repair is critical for keeping building maintenance units, davits, and suspended platforms in safe operating condition. Our repair services cover emergency callouts, part replacements, and system troubleshooting to restore full functionality.
Whether supporting new construction, ongoing facade access maintenance, or refurbishment projects, our repair programs provide reliable maintenance solutions. Each repair is performed with approved components and engineering oversight, extending system life and reducing the risk of premature BMU replacement.
We combine decades of global engineering expertise with regional knowledge to support projects throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Our team understands the demands of high-rise buildings, complex façades, and urban construction, providing solutions that address both performance and compliance requirements.

Professional inspections should be conducted at least annually. Regular checks identify issues early, preventing major problems and costly downtime. We can help design a maintenance schedule tailored to your building and equipment.
Yes. Modernization is a cost-effective alternative that extends equipment life while improving functionality. Upgrades can include control systems, safety features, motors, and structural components.
Refurbishment addresses worn mechanical parts in building maintenance units (BMUs), electrical components, structural damage, and outdated safety systems. It revitalizes aging equipment, restoring reliability, efficiency, and compliance with current regulations.
Project time varies: minor repairs take days, full refurbishments in any building weeks. After assessment, we provide a timeline to minimize operational disruptions.
Yes. Refurbishment adds modern safety features, like advanced fall protection systems and emergency brakes, to meet or exceed current standards.
