WHAT IS A SWING STAGE?
A swing stage is typically a 2 point suspended access platform or cradle which can be supported by either a free-standing counterweighted rostrum or alternative suspension points. The platform has the ability to raise and lower to the required height by using a pair of electric hoists, the hoists run up the Flexible steel wire ropes by use of a control box inside the platform.
ADVANTAGES OF USING SWING STAGES
With inherent advantages over other access methods such as scaffolding. Swing stages can add significant value through improved efficiency, reduced risk, and reduced project duration.
They provide a safe, fast and cost effective method of getting the right tradesman to the right point at the right time on your project whether it’s on a façade or within an industrial plant. This can be achieved without the need to install a scaffold or tie to a building, and they minimise disturbance to the daily operations of your building or project.
Because swing stages require fewer parts than a scaffold designed to cover the same working area, swing stages are considerably faster to install and are generally a more cost effective option for certain tasks. Typical advantages include:
- Reduced manual handling risks compared to scaffolding
- Rapid installation times can aid project schedule
- Reduced labour and transport costs compared to scaffolding
- No tying to building required
- Minimal disruption to other trades with the site
APPLICATIONS FOR SWING STAGES
Typically swing stage platforms have one working level. This makes them suitable for building inspections, caulking, painting, building remedial repairs, cladding and glass and window replacement
