Balcony and upper floor access

Dutch crane and access rental company Peinemann has launched its elevated platform exit system for working on balconies and other structures, where there may be a need to safely exit the platform at height.

Peinemann was looking for a safe solution to the current practice of climbing over the guardrails and railings

In order to use the device the scissor lift platform is raised to the height of the balcony railing, and a lateral deck extension rolled out over the railing. A folding step/ladder is the extended down the inside of the balcony railing and a gate at the end of the extension can then be opened to allow the operator to climb down on to the balcony or upper floor.

The side extension is rolled out and ladder unfolded

When extended the platform controls are interlocked, the new attachment, which has been CE certified is so far available on 12, 15 and 18 metre scissor lifts, including the JLG 3394RT and 4394RT and the Genie GS-5390RT.
