Spider Roof Machines

Major advantages of Spider Roof Machines:

• Efficient, high productivity system
• Low maintenance costs
• Simple and safe to operate
• Easily accommodates challenging aesthetic considerations
• Wide range of solutions  

Another major difference is that Spider roof machines contain a drum hoist.   Therefore, a platform suspended from a roof machine is referred to as "gondola" or "cradle" because it does not contain a hoisting device.

Fully Powered Roof Machines

Spider roof machines are a safe and efficient permanent means of accessing the exterior of a building structure.   Unlike fixed in place rigging systems and self-powered platforms, a roof machines' range of motion is electrically and/or hydraulically powered and enables an operator to move into the optimum access position with minimum effort.

Spider roof machines only use the highest quality drum hoists that are protected from the elements and easy on wire rope.   This system prolongs the life of the machine and reduces maintenance costs.

In general, these systems are most effective in the following conditions:

• The maximum outreach required for façade access is greater than 102 inches (3 meters.)
• The roof top has a clear path that is 10 feet wide around the building from the inside of the parapet wall.
• Owner values long asset life and low operating expense.
• Building elevation is greater than 490 feet.
