Where it sets up0roof rigs
At the curb or in the yard
Swing stage
On the roof: access, anchors and rigging
A swing stage hangs from the roof, so it needs roof access, anchors and a clear drop. A truck-mounted lift works from the street, reaches over lower roofs and moves along the facade from one setup.

At the curb or in the yard
On the roof: access, anchors and rigging
The boom swings over, the truck rarely moves. The Wanamaker building: all 4 sides in one day
Re-rig from the roof for each drop
Up to 135 ft sideways over lower roofs

1dayStart to finishSwing stages and ropes could not get past the roof fascia and took days to set up. Four sides in one day.
2daysStart to finishThe shape of the roof ruled out suspended scaffolds. Done in 2 days.
2daysStart to finishCarved stone and cornices ruled out hanging baskets. Four hotels in 2 days.
3daysWhole inspectionA basket hung on the cables meant about one drop a day for one to two months, and wind kept stopping work.
1dayBoth walls in a dayThe flat roof had no BMU, and a roof rig just for this job cost too much.
4elevationsThe whole facadeSuspended scaffolds were too risky for the walls and roof edges.Yes. The basket moves along and around the building from the street. We inspected all four sides of the 223 ft Wanamaker building in Philadelphia in one day.
No. The lift sets up at the curb or in the yard and reaches up and over. Nothing is rigged on the roof.
Our lifts work up to 300 ft high. For taller buildings a swing stage or the building's own BMU is the right tool.
The basket sits on a rigid boom and stays level. Our lifts have a built-in wind meter, and the A-210 works in winds up to 27 mph with gusts to 36.
