Our mobile façade platforms are available in three types—Light, Medium, and Heavy—with different widths and load capacities depending on the mast type. They operate by ascending along rack gears fixed to the mast, driven by one or more motors with electromagnetic brakes. The gearbox output presses against the rack via an idler gear to ensure smooth operation and extend mast lifespan.

The heavy-duty model is designed to operate on building façades with up to 4,000 kg capacity in dual-mast setups and 1,500 kg in single-mast configurations.

The light model, using a 20×20 box mast, can extend to 5.5 meters in single-mast and up to 18 meters in dual-mast installations, carrying 500 to 1,000 kg with balanced load distribution.

Heavy-duty versions include two 2.2 kW motors with centrifugal brakes, electromagnetic brakes, and gearboxes. In emergency situations, the centrifugal brake activates automatically. The other two models are equipped with 1×3 kW and 1×1.5 kW gear motors.

Safety and control are provided via upper and lower limit switches, phase and motor protection through thermal relays, and mast detection using inductive sensors. A red-painted final mast segment without rack teeth offers mechanical safety.

In case of a power failure, the motor brake can be released manually to lower the platform. Our single-mast platforms also include a parachute brake in addition to the centrifugal system.

Triangular wings, bolted on both sides of the motor units, allow for horizontal outreach of up to 10 meters in single-mast and 30 meters in dual-mast configurations (extendable to 11.5 and 35 meters with reinforced short wings).

The modular wing structure allows adjustment beyond the standard 1500 mm width, with additional wing options of 750 mm and 300 mm, enabling various platform widths.

Anchoring to the wall is done every 6 meters for single-mast and every 9 meters for dual-mast setups. Platforms can reach up to 150 meters with standard masts and 200 meters with reinforced masts, at a speed of 7 meters per minute.

Platform surfaces and extensions are made from 135 mm wide, anti-slip perforated sheet metal, and are hot-dip galvanized for long-term corrosion resistance.

Guidance system: The motor unit is attached to the chassis on all four sides, ensuring 20 contact points between the motor and mast. Guide wheels are roller-bearing supported and made of steel.

Motor units are designed for 25,000 hours of operation without maintenance.

PLATFORM FEATURES

  • Workers can easily adjust the platform to the most ergonomic height—from knee to shoulder level—at the push of a button, allowing for more comfortable working conditions, increased productivity, and reduced labor effort.
  • Since materials can be transported upward alongside workers, fewer personnel are needed for material preparation and handling. Vertical movement of workers is minimized.
  • Installation, dismantling, and relocation are significantly easier, faster, and more cost-effective than scaffolding.
  • A platform covering a height of 30×50 meters can be fully assembled in 2 days and dismantled in 1 day.
  • Compared to scaffolding, the platform requires less space and is cheaper to transport.
  • With fewer components, there is less material loss or waste compared to traditional scaffolding systems.
  • Job supervision is easier on the platform, allowing early detection of production errors and preventing higher costs later in the project.
  • For cladding applications, a crane can be mounted on the platform to assist with material lifting and installation.
  • Workers operate on an open, flat, and wider surface (135 cm), which increases efficiency and facilitates safer working conditions.
  • When properly maintained, the platform has a service life of up to 20 years.
  • Fewer anchoring points are required than scaffolding; a dual-mast platform is anchored to the building every 9 meters. A 30×50 meter setup needs only 7 anchors.

Mast Type and Dimensions

  • Encomat masts are square-shaped with dimensions of 52 × 50 × 150 cm and weigh 85 kg each.
  • The steel quality used is ST 44 or higher.
  • The mast dimensions, weight, and steel grade directly determine the platform’s free-standing height, load capacity, and extension arm length.
  • For enhanced durability, all masts are hot-dip galvanized to provide long-term corrosion resistance.
  • The rack gear is welded directly to the mast for a secure and precise fit.
  • Encomat masts include solid inserts at bolt connection points, specially manufactured to prevent the bolts from tearing or damaging the mast structure.

Automatic Leveling; Working of Two Platforms at the Same Level;

Mast Types and Dimensions;

    • Platforms with a single motor unit can be controlled from a single panel for up to 10 meters, while those with dual units can be operated from a single panel up to 30 meters.
    • A 30-meter platform can also be operated as two separate 10-meter sections using two independent control panels.
    • If one motor unit operates at a different speed, a synchronization switch halts the second motor until both units are aligned at the same level.

Extension arms, mounted on various profile lengths, allow the platform to reach recessed or protruding sections of building façades. For longer spans, under-supporting structures are used. In all cases, per safety standards, only personnel are permitted on the extensions — no materials or loads are allowed.

Extension profiles are drilled at intervals for pin fastening, and the holes are reinforced with welded sleeves for extra strength. The extension platform surfaces are modular and can be adjusted forward or backward when needed.

  • Platforms with a single motor group can be controlled from a single control panel up to 10 meters, while dual-unit platforms can be managed up to 30 meters from a single panel.
  • A 30-meter platform can also be configured as two separate 10-meter sections operated by two independent control panels.
  • If one motor group moves out of sync—either above or below the other—a synchronization switch stops the second motor until both platforms return to level alignment.

Mast Types and Dimensions;

  • Platforms can be controlled from a single panel up to 10 meters in a single engine group and up to 30 meters in a dual setup.

  • A 30-meter platform can also operate as 2 10-meter panels with 2 separate panels.

  • When one engine group is up or down due to the different operation of the engines, the switch stops the operation of the other engine until they reach the same level.
