Suspended Scaffolds ~ these consist of a working platform in the
form of a cradle which is suspended from cantilever beams or
outriggers from the roof of a tall building to give access to the
fac ̧ade for carrying out light maintenance work and cleaning
activities. The cradles can have manual or power control and be in
single units or grouped together to form a continuous working
platform. If grouped together they are connected to one another
at their abutment ends with hinges to form a gap of not more
than 25 mm wide. Many high rise buildings have a permanent cradle
system installed at roof level and this is recommended for all
buildings over 30„000 high.
