Temporary Suspended Platform
Modular suspended cradles for construction-phase and short-term access.
Temporary Suspended Platform
METCO's Temporary Access range covers everything a project needs for fast, flexible façade and structure access — from man-riding hoists and suspended platforms to rooftop rigging, safety devices, wire ropes and access accessories. Our team specs the right combination for construction, refurbishment and short-term maintenance campaigns, and supports it on site from mobilization through demobilization.
Our Permanent Access Range
Wire Rope Hoists
Man-riding electric, air and manual traction hoists that power suspended platforms, bosun's chairs and work cages. Built around a wire-rope driving mechanism with a primary brake and an integrated overspeed safety device, these hoists run at constant speed with unlimited lifting height and are available across a wide range of capacities for light-duty to heavy-duty suspended access.
Platforms
Suspended cradles, windbaskets, bosun's chairs and multi-tier decked platforms for façade work, window cleaning, painting and general maintenance. Modular aluminum sections keep the equipment light and quick to rig, with adjustable guardrails, configurations that fit through openings as small as 30 in., and full fall-protection integration for multi-level use.
Roof Top Rigging Equipment
Outrigger beams, drop-through stands and parapet clamps that anchor suspended equipment safely at roof level. Lightweight aluminum beams come in stacking or sliding counterweight configurations with telescopic jibs for adjustable reach, while clamps and drop-through stands extend rigging options to roofs without a natural anchor point.
Safety Devices
Secondary fall-arrest brakes fitted to the suspension wire rope alongside the main hoist. The device automatically locks onto the rope the instant it detects overspeed, holding the load safely if the primary suspension fails — available in hand-operated and automatic dual-line configurations to suit different rigging setups.
Wire Ropes
High-strength wire rope assemblies, complete with hooks and welded tips, engineered specifically for use with manual and powered hoists. Available across a range of diameters and breaking-strength ratings, plus bulk rope for reelers and custom rigging where the load needs to spin freely.
Access Accessories
The harnesses, lanyards, portable hand-operated hoists and rescue kits that complete a temporary access setup. Comfort, performance and rescue-range harnesses with multi-point adjustment pair with shock-absorbing lanyards and compact rope hoists sized from roughly 1 to 4 tons, covering everyday lifting and pulling as well as emergency response.
