The maintenance of facades demands more than standard equipment. It requires engineered systems that integrate safety, compliance, and reliability into every stage of a building’s lifecycle.
As part of the Alimak Group, our North American division delivers facade access solutions built on a foundation of global engineering expertise and local project execution. Our systems are developed in line with OSHA and ANSI standards and are supported by decades of technical knowledge from brands including Tractel, Manntech, and CoxGomyl. The result is access equipment designed to optimize maintenance cycles, reduce long-term costs, and strengthen building performance.
With over 16,000 installations worldwide, Facade Access Solutions has proven capability across high-rise and architecturally complex structures. Each project benefits from a rigorous design and engineering process, with safety, structural integrity, and serviceability as the guiding principles.
Reliable facade access begins with consistent service. We provide contracts that address the complete maintenance requirements of every building type with facade access systems. Each agreement is matched to the specific building structure and architectural design, covering operator training, routine inspections, safety checks, and scheduled repairs.
Our service programs support a full range of facade access equipment solutions, from building maintenance units to suspended access equipment and fall arrest systems. This means safe access, fewer disruptions, and compliance.
As an industry leader in facade access solutions, we combine integrated design services with ongoing maintenance and inspections to extend the lifecycle of your systems. Whether the project involves new construction or retrofit applications, Facade Access Solutions protect both people and assets while preserving the visual impact and operational efficiency of every facade.
Our integrated design services also support architects and building owners during the early planning stages. By factoring in access solutions for facades from the start, we help reduce construction costs and avoid retrofit challenges on completed structures. These integrated design services apply to the full range of commercial, residential, and mixed-use projects across the United States and Canada.

Scheduled maintenance programs are critical to keeping facade access systems operating at peak performance. We provide preventive services for building maintenance units, gantries, trolleys, davits, suspended platforms, abseil anchors, guardrails, and lifting tables. Each program is structured to identify wear before it becomes a problem, reducing downtime and extending the life of the equipment.
By addressing issues early, preventive maintenance supports safer operations and minimizes costly disruptions to cleaning cycles or repair work. It also preserves the integrity of the access system, maintaining consistent efficiency across projects of varying scale and complexity.
Unplanned equipment failures require immediate attention to maintain both safety and building operations. Our repair services provide building owners with rapid response capabilities for building maintenance units, self-powered platforms, and davit systems. Each intervention is supported by technical expertise and genuine OEM replacement components from our spare parts program, preserving system integrity and compliance with safety requirements.
Repairs are carried out with a focus on minimizing downtime and restoring access equipment to serviceable condition within the shortest possible timeframe. By drawing on manufacturing and installation resources, we deliver solutions that meet the technical demands of complex facades while supporting uninterrupted maintenance cycles.
Common repairs include hoist overhauls, abseil anchors replacement, and structural assessments of gantries and trolleys. Our manufacturing capabilities allow us to fabricate custom components when standard parts are no longer available. This is especially valuable for retrofit projects on older facades where original specifications may have changed.
As the North American division of the Alimak Group, Facade Access Solutions is the authority in engineered facade access systems. Our expertise is built on decades of applied engineering, global manufacturing resources, and a record of more than 16,000 installations worldwide. This foundation allows us to deliver solutions that meet the technical and regulatory requirements of even the most demanding projects.
With dedicated teams operating across the United States and Canada, we support projects ranging from new construction to complex retrofits. Our regional presence provides local responsiveness, while our global network provides access to advanced design practices, certified components, and proven installation methods.
From initial consultation to long-term asset management, our solutions cover the complete lifecycle of facade access systems. We also support infrastructure access solutions for bridges, tunnels, and industrial facilities. Every project is backed by our commitment to quality and operational efficiency.
Our team works to keep facade systems safe, efficient, and compliant.
They cover maintenance, inspections, and safety checks for facade access systems. Each contract is designed around your building’s specific needs and may include operator training, integrated design services for system upgrades, and scheduled servicing of equipment on your facades.
Regular servicing of building maintenance units is important for both new and existing buildings. The ideal frequency depends on factors such as system usage and environmental conditions. Preventive maintenance helps protect workers on facades, keeps systems compliant, and extends equipment life. Contact us for recommendations based on your building’s needs.
We maintain building maintenance units, gantries, davits, self powered platforms, lifting tables, abseil anchors, powered platforms, ladders, and fall arrest systems across diverse facades and projects.
Preventive maintenance improves safety, prevents breakdowns, reduces costs, and maximizes uptime for critical facade access equipment. It also helps maintain compliance with OSHA and ANSI standards, protecting both workers and the facades they service.
