Cradles
As FacadeXS we are proud to have produced different types of gondolas. A gondola is a vital part of any building maintence unit.
It’s all about Thrill, High Speeds
and Top Level Risk
Extreme Sports
Gondolas – or cradles – are working platforms attached to a Building Maintenance Unit (BMU). They descent along a facade, transporting window cleaners or maintenance staff. Some gondolas are unrestrained and hang in front of the facade, while others are secured to the facade with a gondola restraint system. This could be for example Lanyards (ISA), soft ropes, combination of both, mullion guides, transfer rails or pull in restraints systems (for negative facades)
Working safe inside a gondola
In our vision, users inside a gondola at great heights must be able to do their work easily, safely and ergonomically. Through customization, we can incorporate the intended application of the BMU into its design.
Ergonomic Design
Our unique creation of an ergonomic designed gondola allows workers to work on the facade in front of them while keeping a good posture – without straining the lower back. Also, the tall back side of the gondola gives an increased sense of security.
With our customer’s desired functionalities in mind, we can design ergonomic gondolas for maximum usability.
We stand for ergonomic and innovative gondolas that our users will appreciate.
Standard gondolas
We produce a series of standard gondolas.
By default, our gondolas are 2.4 m (8 ft.) wide, but in some cases their width can be customized to meet special requirements.
User-friendly gondolas
Designed from a user’s view point.
The User-friendly gondola is equipped with innovative functions that effectively deal with the drawbacks of working at heights inside a gondola.
Pantograph gondolas
A pantograph gondola is essentially a gondola that is balanced by a counterweight situated behind it.
They are designed for buildings with uneven facades or facades with protruding elements.
