Because they require minimum erection and dismantling time, unlike scaffolding, there is no wasted time. Systems can also be moved from location to location on a building according to work plan, to optimise usage. Because configuration can be changed by adding and removing components at any time, you are only paying rent for equipment being used, unlike scaffolding, which is mostly under utilised.

The versatility of the Alimak Hek modular systems means that the configuration can be changed as the project progresses. Additional mast sections can be added with minimal disruption. More drive motors and work platforms can be integrated – even transport platforms can be added to speed up delivery of material when working at height. Drive motors can share a common mast where necessary.

Renting Alimak Hek access solutions is the high level of productivity achieved which means work progresses faster so the rental period is less. They also give sub-contractors greater independence as they do not require use of on-site cranes to lift material to height. All material is loaded at ground level and carried to position.
