months. There are three main ways to get them there: <strong>fixed scaffolding<\/strong>, a <strong>mast-climbing work platform (MCWP)<\/strong>, or an <strong>electric suspended platform<\/strong> (often called a cradle or suspended scaffold). Each one is the best choice for some projects and the wrong choice for others.<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\">This guide compares the three on the criteria that drive the decision: load, height, fa\u00e7ade length, speed, set-up, building interface and standards.

A mast climbing work platform is one powered deck that climbs masts by rack and pinion. It carries the crew and heavy materials together and stops at any working height.<\/p><\/details><details><summary class=\"translation-block\">Is a mast climber faster than scaffolding?<\/summary><p class=\"translation-block\">On mid- and high-rise fa\u00e7ades, usually yes. There&#8217;s far less structure to erect, the deck moves to the work, and materials ride with the crew. On low-rise or complex fa\u00e7ades, scaffolding can still be quicker overall.<\/p><\/details><details><summary class=\"translation-block\">How much weight can a mast climbing work platform carry?<\/summary><p class=\"translation-block\">It depends on the model and deck length. SEKLIFT&#8217;s SM-SK-101 and SM-SK-102 are rated up to 2,000 kg, and the compact SM-SK-103 carries 750 kg at 11.5 m.<\/p><\/details><details><summary class=\"translation-block\">When should I use a suspended platform instead of a mast climber?<\/summary><p class=\"translation-block\">Use one when there&#8217;s no suitable ground base, the work is light (maintenance, glazing, painting), or the job is short. It needs a suitable roof for the suspension rig.<\/p><\/details><details><summary class=\"translation-block\">Which standards apply to MCWPs and suspended platforms in Europe?<\/summary><p class=\"translation-block\">EN 1495 for mast-climbing work platforms, EN 1808 for suspended access equipment, and EN 12811-1 for scaffolding. All of them sit within the EU machinery and work-equipment framework.<\/p><\/details><\/div><div class=\"sk-product-bridge\"><strong class=\"translation-block\">Not sure which access system fits your fa\u00e7ade?<\/strong><p class=\"translation-block\">Send us the building height, fa\u00e7ade length, loads and programme.
