Bridge pylons taper and lean; a vertical hoist cannot follow the leg. The contractor needed access that tracked a 30° incline over 96 m of height.
Configuration
- SCD200/200 inclined unit, 30° fixed angle
- Guide rails fabricated to the pylon geometry
- Levelling cage floor to compensate for the incline
- Dual braking with rope-brake monitoring
Result
The inclined unit replaced a temporary staircase and a mobile crane for formwork handling, cutting the access cycle per pour from 40 to 12 minutes.
