Every building has its own maintenance challenges. That’s why Facade Access Solutions North America provides engineered facade access equipment designed for unique buildings. Our range of products promotes safety, efficiency, and seamless integration with architectural designs.
Building maintenance units (BMUs), created by a leading suspended access equipment manufacturer, are engineered for complex high-rises and buildings with limited roof space. With remote control operations, safety enhancements, and permanent installation options, these maintenance units provide reliable facade access while meeting stringent building standards. BMUs can be installed on tracks or concrete runways and are built to operate for decades with minimal service needs.
Davit arms and outrigger systems provide flexible solutions in portable or fixed configurations. With OSHA and CSA compliant features and compatibility with suspended platforms, they deliver safe and efficient facade maintenance for workers at height.
Worker safety is reinforced with tieback anchors, lifelines, and harness systems. Designed for fall protection, these fall arrest safety equipment solutions maintain OSHA compliance for workers performing window cleaning, glass replacement, and signage installation.
Monorail and RAILSCAF™ systems provide seamless traversing along facades and atriums. Supporting heavy loads with certified safety and rigorous certifications, they adapt to curved or complex facades. Once installed, monorail systems require regular inspections and testing to maintain compliance. They are ideal for buildings with large facades and rows of windows.
With patented Tirak® hoist technology, self-powered platforms offer modular sections adaptable to different facade lengths. Corrosion-resistant construction promotes durability and long-term performance. These platforms are essential for cleaning windows and facades, handling repairs on building facades, and giving workers safe access across wide exterior surfaces.
Rolling ladders and gantries support both manual and powered movement. Perfect for irregular facades, they improve contractor efficiency while maintaining compliance with safety codes.
Every industry faces unique facade access challenges, but the value we deliver remains the same – safe operations, reduced lifecycle costs, and systems engineered for long-term reliability. Facade Access Solutions brings decades of global expertise and proven engineering to projects across North America. We help protect our clients’ investment and safeguard their teams, no matter the environment.
Office towers and mixed-use developments benefit from permanent facade access systems designed for complex structures. These systems support worker safety during inspections, window cleaning, and exterior repairs on building facades. Engineers design each project to address windows, facades, and complex structures across multiple projects.
Hospitals and universities require precise, low-disruption facade access systems. Our solutions comply with strict safety standards while respecting sensitive environments. Facade preservation in these buildings is crucial to maintaining clean windows, walls, and a professional appearance for visitors and staff.
Condominiums and residential towers rely on our discreet, reliable facade access systems – integrating seamlessly into building designs without compromising aesthetics. These systems also provide safe access to interior atriums and common areas for cleaning windows and facades.
From commercial towers to healthcare facilities, we have you covered – partner with us for custom-built access safety.

Facade access systems are specialized equipment designed to provide safe and efficient access to building exteriors for window cleaning, inspections, and repairs. They are engineered to blend seamlessly with a building’s design while delivering reliable, compliant, and safe operation.
A Building Maintenance Unit, also known as a BMU, provides permanent, code-compliant access to facades. BMUs support window cleaning, inspections, and maintenance activities on facades while protecting workers and industry professionals at height.
Custom facade access systems are engineered for complex or irregular structures, offering scalability and adaptability. Standard solutions suit typical low-rise buildings, providing cost-effective, long-term access.
Every system is designed and certified according to all regulations and standards which govern in the jurisdiction of the installation. This includes certifications from OSHA, ANSI, CSA, and relevant local codes.
Our engineers collaborate with architects to design solutions that blend seamlessly with your building’s facades and aesthetics while maintaining safety and performance.
Permanent façade access systems require regular inspections, testing, and servicing to maintain continued safety and reliable operation. Preventive maintenance helps extend the system’s lifespan and minimize downtime.
Our dedicated maintenance programs keep your system fully compliant and performing at its best throughout its lifecycle.
Yes, façade access systems can be retrofitted to most existing buildings. Contact us to discuss the best solution for your structure and maintenance requirements. Learn more about our retrofit services.
The ideal façade access system depends on your building’s height, façade geometry, roof structure, and maintenance requirements. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Each project requires a customized approach to deliver safety, efficiency, and compliance.
