Rigid makes the platforms and hoists that let crews work on a facade without scaffolding the whole building. Here's what their kit does.
Instead of scaffolding an entire building, you hang a platform from the roof. Rigid's cradle carries crews and materials up the facade on steel ropes, resizes from 2 to 16 metres depending on the job, and has gone up on towers from Hangzhou to Israel. Faster and cheaper than scaffolding a big build.
The motor that drives everything. The rope feeds straight through the hoist instead of winding onto a drum, so there's no limit on how high it can climb. Five sizes, from 500 kg to 2 tonnes, and if the power cuts out, it lowers you to the ground safely.
Before a building has an elevator, someone has to fit the rails inside the empty shaft. This platform is how they do it. It climbs the shaft, adjusts to fit its width, and carries a tonne with two independent safety systems watching over it. When the job's done, it folds up and moves to the next site.
