Suspended Cradles (BMU’s)

We have supplied the slimmest of cradle units for operation in restricted passages to machines with a reach in excess of twenty metres as well as installation systems and other systems for special applications.

All suspended access systems comply with or exceed the requirements of BS EN 1808 Safety Requirements for Suspended Access Equipment and the recommendations of BS6037-1: and BS6037-2:; Codes of Practice for Permanently Installed Suspended Access Equipment.

Although we supply access equipment incorporating ‘state-of-the-art’ technology the result is a system that is a long-term asset to the building it serves both from a visual standpoint and in its operating efficiency.

Travelling Ladders & Gantries

We have supplied custom-designed travelling ladders and gantries in many shapes and sizes with spans in excess of 20 metres.

Special features such as an integrated suspended cradle system to provide access to facades below a gantry, a raised platform to reach areas above a gantry and facilities for glazing replacement can be incorporated. All units comply with the latest British and International Standards including: EN 1808:2015 – Safety Requirements on Suspended Access Equipment BS 6037-2:2004 – Code of Practice for Permanently Installed Travelling Ladders and Gantries.

Cladding & Glazing Installation

We have supplied bespoke, rugged systems for the installation of cladding and glazing on new and refurbished buildings. Cladding panels weighing up to 1500kg have been catered for.

Two types of installation systems are possible, one based on temporary or permanent monorails and the other based on floor cranes. In both cases remote operation ensures safe and efficient operation to meet tight construction deadlines.

Roof Safety Protection systems

Power Access Systems has been an installer of cable based fall-arrest systems since 1988.

We also install bespoke walkways, fixed ladders and other means of improving access for maintenance.

Systems comprise horizontal and vertical ‘Mansafe’ safety wires as well as fixed ‘Pushlock’ safety harness anchors, ‘Hadrian’ safety rails, window cleaner’s eyebolts and deadweight anchors.

Power Access Systems has been trading continuously in the UK for more than thirty years and have successfully completed many contracts.  A selection of our completed projects can be seen on our website at www.poweraccess.co.uk.

Following installation we offer a full after-sales programme of maintenance and testing in accordance with the latest British and European Standards.

As well as manufacturing, installing and servicing access and safety systems we participate fully in the British and European committees responsible for the drafting of new and revised standards that affect our industry.

Power Access Systems Goes Back To University

September 2017

Power Access Systems Goes Back To University

When the University of Manchester decided to build the Alan Gilbert Learning Commons Building their contractor, Wates Construction, turned to Power Access Systems to supply and install a bespoke travelling gantry system to provide access to the high-level glazed roof areas.

The £24m Learning Commons building has been designed to give students a focal point for learning, offering a stimulating and comfortable 24/7 environment for study. The world-class 21st century study space boasts more than 1000 flexible study spaces and an inspiring range of equipment and furnishings for individual and group study.

The travelling gantry provides safe and efficient access to the vertical and sloping glazing over the open plan central area to enable the building to be maintained to the high standards expected by a leading University.

This is one of many bespoke access systems that Power Access Systems has installed since 1983.

IBM CHOSE POWER ACCESS SYSTEMS TO KEEP A CLEAN FACE

September 2017

After several years of neglect IBM needed a new access system to clean and maintain their prestigious offices in Portsmouth and they turned to Power Access Systems for a bespoke solution. IBM had a problem. With a very large area of glazing to keep clean and no permanent access system installed over the glazed walkways Power Access Systems, working directly for IBM, was able to install a pair of travelling gantries and cradles specially designed for the task.

The travelling gantries provide safe and efficient access to the curved glazing over the walkway that connects the four satellite office buildings, while the suspended cradles provide access to the vertical glazing thus enabling IBM’s cleaning contractor to maintain the building to the high standards expected by a leading multi-national company.

This is one of many bespoke access systems that Power Access Systems has installed since 1983.
