Mast Climbers Add Value

Value to high-rise construction projects is being added by mast climber manufacturers and dealers. Generally, used for carrying out external plastering work, mast climbers are more suitable to work in high-rise construction than the conventional scaffolding techniques.

According to Mr. A.D. Bhosale, "Mast climbers score over the conventional techniques as they can carry both men and materials at greater heights, besides ensuring safety to work. Additionally, it is less on owning, assembling and disassembling costs. Not to mention retention of higher inventories."

Universal offers variants of mast climbers which include triangular mast, square mast of 1 ton capacity for 120, 200 meters high construction projects and 2 tons of 300 meters. He says, "We offer the climbers with single masts of 10 meters and double masts of 22 meters in length. Both the masts can be coupled for synchronized operation and enhancing the length." Universal manufactures the three models of its XYGO series of mast climbers at its Shivare plant near Pune. The platform with a size of 10 x 1.2 mtr can take maximum load of 1000kg. Mast section is a square of 700 x 1508 mm and can take load up to 2000 kg and height to 300 meter. Mast of the platform is designed to accommodate the Rack and Pinion Passenger Material Lift. Thus one can either use platform or passenger hoist on same mast reducing the cost of erection and dismantling and saving on mast cost.

He says, "Our mast climbers are made heavy duty round tube, provided with male and female joints that make their erection easier for high-rise construction. Further, the accurately machined rack and pinion gives smooth operation, which ensures safety and durability of the platform. The guide rollers maintain accurate tolerance in the movement of the platforms on the mast. Heavy duty chassis with jacks facilitates free standing upto six meters above and that anchoring has to be made at an interval of every three meters. One of the prominent safety features that comprise in our climbers is anti free fall safety device."

Mast Climber

Universal's main clients are rental companies. It has supplied around 80 works platforms to contractors like JMC projects, DSK, Pune Sahara Projects, ETA Bangalore, Rajdeep Builders and Jackson Housing for residential and commercial housing projects. The company also manufactures rope suspended platforms for external plastering, painting, aluminum and glass cladding, and cleaning of high-rise building structures. The platforms are suspended along the building façade through wire ropes. They move up and down with the help of electric motor through the suspended mechanism installed at the top of the building.

Universal's other solutions for vertical construction include, rope suspended platforms and material hoists. Mr. Bhosale mentions, "We manufacture different models of suspended rope platforms: UHP 200 with maximum height of 100 mtr, rated load of 200 kg and platform of 1.5 mtr, UHP 800 with a maximum height of 150 mtr, rated load of 800kg and platform of 2.5/5/7.5 mtr and UHP 1000 with a maximum height of 150 mtr, rated load of 1000kg and platform of 5 mtr. Universal has developed special model to reach the surface below projected canopy or chajjah's."

He continues, "Universal has successfully developed wire rope with friction roller as well as rack and pinion type material hoist. The hoist has various attachments of buckets like rebar carrying (up 12 meter long), concrete carrying and sand brick carrying buckets. Hoist is easy in installation and operation. They are available in various capacities like 500 kg to 2000 kg and height from 20 meter to 200 meter. Remote operation with VFD gives jerk free travel. The machines have been extremely popular with highrise project contractors. Amrapali, New Delhi has installed more than 35 units on single project and set an example of selection of appropriate machine."

Rack & pinion, passenger cum material lifts is Universal's another solution for high rise projects. Mr. Bhosale says, "We have more than 900 installations of these units in India and abroad. Universal has various speedo models in rack and pinion lift. It is available in standard, medium and high speed with single cage and twin cage with capacity to 3000 kg and can be erected to 300 meter tall structure. Speedo super model is made available for low rise building ranging from 5th floor. Our advanced robotics manufacturing facility gives more accuracy and strength to the structural components. Among our key customer for rack and pinions are Hiranandani, DLF, JMC project, Shapoorji Pallonji, Simplex, Tata project, Gammon, B G Shirke."

Mr. Bhosale says, "To meet short-term requirements of clients, we provide machine on hire through their channel partners. Many clients wish to sale the machine once project gets over. Universal provides buy back arrangement also to them."

Vikram Mehta
To fulfill the requirements of high-rise projects' contractors, manufacturers of mast climbers and suspended rope platforms have been carrying out customization of their solutions by adding features along with introducing newer products. According to Mr. Vikram Mehta, MD, Spartan Engineering Pvt. Ltd, "based on needs of higher productivity, there are emerging requirements of hoists which carry more materials, more people, at faster speed and to greater heights. Added to this, there are requirements of machines, which are safe to operate. Being pioneers in the industry, we launch newer products that fulfil higher productivity and safety criteria. Last year, we launched 6 products in just passenger hoist segment and added 1 more product in our much in demand multi-functional hoist portfolio. Going ahead, our new and upgraded first of its kind 2 ton Passenger hoist is in pipeline to be launched this year. Standard machine can go upto 150 meters height, which can be extended further more upto 350 meters and above, with little or no modification. We are revamping our 1 ton, 1.2 ton and 1.5 ton passenger hoist portfolio."

Spartan Material Hoist
Mr. Mehta adds, "Special Human Interface display (HMI display) detects faults in the machine and thereby supports the operator to handle the equipment safely. Specially designed mast structures of our hoists has highest power to weight ratio which a crucial factor needed for high rise buildings. It means the mast has higher load carrying capacity with less self weight. Six module rack and pinion combination ensure that the travel is smooth and jerk-free. This also contributes hugely in reduction of wear and tear, thus further reducing the maintenance cost of the equipment. Safety is well assured in our hoists being equipped with electrical components sourced from Nord, Schneider, Polycab."

He continues, "Looking at the high rise projects, we are now offering speed of 30, 54, or 60 meter per min hoists. Our hoists are designed and tested to take on high wind speeds at greater heights. Adding on value, vital components and panels in our hoists are given special power coatings to neutralize the impact of high humidity in cities like Chennai, Mumbai and Kolkata."

P V Ramdev
Advanced safety features are claimed to be offered by GJJ mast climbers, distributed by Everest Engineering in India. According to Mr. P.V. Ramdev, MD, Everest Engineering, "GJJ SCP230/9D and SCP 200/1D single mast and twin mast platforms distributed by us are well suited to work in high- rise construction projects based on the advanced safety features, like ability to withstand ​high ​wind pressures. The platforms come with automatic balancing ​safety cut off​and are equipped with special gear box mechanism​,​​specifically designed by NORD Germany for GJJ,​ that can prevent freefall by bringing the climbers ​@​6 meter per minute ​speed even thecase of any​ ​breakdown."

Everest Engg GJJ Mast Climbers

Everest offers both single ​(​10.5 meters​ length)​and twin ​​variants mast climbers which can be coupled to achieve a length of 24 meters. The mast climbers have carrying capacities of ​2300Kgs for Single and 4000Kgs for twin​. It has supplied around 60 mast climbers to Indian construction majors like L&T, JMC Projects for their high-rise construction projects. The company is targeting to sell ​60-8​0 units during 2015.

Better Coordination Needed

Optimum and safe utilization of the equipment for high-rise construction on offer will be ensured through proper coordination between the contractors and the equipment manufacturers. This will call for sharing of vital data by the civil engineering team to the equipment suppliers, which in many cases manufacturers point out is deficient. Data on soil bearing capacity, if the crane has to be placed internally, and strength of the building, if the crane has to be anchored, will be vital for safe operation of tower cranes. Data of related nature will also require to be shared to other equipment solutions providers for high-rise construction projects.
