Suspended Cradle

Suspended Cradles are work platforms hung from a height which can be raised and lowered by powered winches. They are perfect for a variety of works such as cleaning, maintaining, and installation on any building or structure. They are ideal when access is restricted at ground level particularly, or the job is out of the range of traditional methods such as cherry pickers or MEWPs.

About the service

A suspended cradle in construction, often referred to as a construction cradle or building maintenance unit (BMU), is a specialized piece of equipment used for accessing and working on the exterior of tall buildings or structures. It consists of a platform or cradle that is suspended by cables or ropes from an overhead track or support system, allowing workers to be lowered or raised to different levels of a building's facade.

Suspended cradles are commonly used for tasks such as window cleaning, building maintenance, painting, and inspections in high-rise buildings where traditional scaffolding or ladders are impractical. They are equipped with safety features and controls to ensure the safety of workers while they work at heights.

Builders Hoists have the largest selection of access machines available in Ireland.
