Access training - Sky High Access Ltd

Access platforms are aerial work platform (AWP) or mobile elevated work platforms (MEWP). They come in various types like cherry pickers and scissor lifts and are used to work at heights.  They can lift a certain amount of weight and carry a certain number of people depending on their type and weight bearing capacities.

Ladder hoist - Sky High Access Ltd

Hoist is a devise that is used for vertically moving, i.e. lifting up or lowering down, the heavy loads. They are either manually or electrically operated. Generally, chain, wire, fibre or rope is used as lifting mediums, while the load is connected to the hook. These hoists come in various different categories and ladder hoists are one of them. In Sky High Access Limited, they are available in two types, namely inclined and vertical.

These hoists are often used where heavy load is needed to be carried to heights. They are simple and efficient in their operation and building. Generally, the things to be lifted are connected to or put on the hoist which is in fact attached to a ladder.

Inclined ladder hoists are installed as vertical hoists in inclined ladder mode and can be used in low level areas or areas above or in the slope of a roof. They are good for areas with restricted access. These hoists can carry a wheelbarrow with its cage and can use a universal bed, which is good for bulky materials, or a sheet carrier, which is good for boards or panels, as lifting attachments. Devices like general purpose platform, tile holder, tipping skip and sheet carrier are available for carrying load. In the hoist that Sky High Access Limited provides for hire, a wheel barrow in its 1.15 x 0.73 can be lifted. Sky High Access Limited provides GEDA hoists that can lift load up to 200kg at speed of around 25m per minute. Also, generally they are operated using one landing gate and can attain maximum height of 18m vertically and 13m horizontally. They operate under 110v power supply. Sky High Access Limited delivers this hoist to the site in the form of components which can be carried easily and then easily assembled together to build the hoist.

Vertical ladder hoists are vertical hoists with wire rope. Sky High Access Limited provides GEDA hoists that can lift load up to 200kg. They operate under 110v power supply. They can be used on a platform of wheel barrow. This structure usually comes under one of those methods of hoisting which is economical.
