Suspended Platforms
 

The Power Climber MODULO is a high quality modular platform. It is lightweight and durable, with the flexibility to be configured to meet all your suspended platform needs.

The MODULO platform consist of: side-frames, guardrails, decks, U-frames, wall rollers, castors wheels, stirrups and Safefix pins.

  • Standard Modules of 0.5m, 1m, 2 m and 3 m for a high degree of flexibility for platform configuration
  • Light weight aluminium decks, side frames and guard rails
  • Robust steel galvanized U-frames and end-stirrups
  • Quick and hassle-free assembly, with new, one step 'insert and snap', Safefix pins
  • Can be fitted with end-stirrups and/or walk-through stirrups
  • European Standard EN1808 certification for all standard configurations
6m Modulo with End Stirrups, Astro hoist and central control box.  


MODULO with end-stirrup:

  • Max. Length up to 12m.
  • Economical platform configuration
  • Easy to assemble one piece end-stirrup
  • Can be fitted with either the Astro and PC400 hoist.

MODULO with walk-through stirrup (WTS) (Astro hoist only):

The Power Climber walk-through stirrup is placed at the rear side of the platform. This gives a working surface that is completely clear and allows the corners of the building to be easily accessed

  • Max. Length up to 16 m, (max. 12m between suspension points)
  • Cantilever of up to 3m

The MODULO WTS is a brand new revolutionary design: It has many unique features:

  • It is the only WTS on the market that meets ALL of European Standard EN1808 requirements, including allowing the slack rope safety device of the hoists to act as a self-sufficient mechanical tilt limiting safety device. This is because the top position of Astro hoist allows direct operation of all of the hoist's built-in safety devices.
  • Top limit switch activated without any additional mechanism or remote switch required
  • Telescopic vertical adjustment to allow the operator to reach as high as possible up the building
  • Very Light weight (fully assembled = 25kg) aluminium construction
  • No diverter roller (pulley) at the top to reeve through
  • Components are small enough to fit in a standard passenger lift (largest part is max. 2m high, weight 15kg)
  • Fits anywhere along the length of platform
  • Very easy to assemble by one person with Safefix pins. No bolts (except to fitting hoist) required for assembly or for fixing of WTS to the main platform


Manufacturing Quality:

The MODULO platforms is made from specially extruded high-grade aluminium profiles. The steel end-stirrups and U-frames are hot dip galvanized steel for long lasting corrosion protection. Most screws are stainless steel.

Optional MODULO Configurations:

Adjustable Angle section:

Adjusted to form a number of different angles to allow the Modulo platform to be configured at different angles, offering a high degree of flexibility.

The unique design of the Power Climber angle section has a built-in Astro stirrup replacing the walk-trough stirrup. This gives the platform the best stability available.

  • High number of possible positions: 20°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 72° and 90°
  • Easily adjusted without any tools (Safefix pins)
  • Manufactured from durable galvanized steel
  • Integrated part of the Modulo system

Modulo 450®, 'Boiler stage' type platform:

Many industrial structures can only get into via narrow manholes such as: power station boilers, aluminium calcinators, ships ballast tanks etc.
Power Climber's Modulo 450 platform is designed to fit through a Ø450mm manhole and provide access inside the structure.


Double-deck platforms:

This special platform configuration allows workers to work simultaneously on two levels. The two platforms are linked at the ends with ladder frames. The upper deck platform is fitted with a trap door for easy access from one level to the other. Standard separation between the platforms is 2 or 3m.
