One of specialist access hire company Lifterz’s tallest scissor lifts provides instant access for internal building
maintenance. The IPAF Rental+ company, which offers scissors and booms from a number of manufacturers, has provided an access solution that is both faster and more adaptable than a fixed scaffold, allowing workers to reach the vaulted atrium glazing from the lower floor without costly and time-consuming set-up and dismantling.

Access specialist Ramirent helped a renovation project in Oulunsalo, northern Finland, by delivering workers
and materials to the circular water tank façade at heights of 40-50m. No mast anchors could be mounted below the tank, so the first anchor had to be installed at 45m. Two SC5000 mast climbing work platforms
had two Maxianchors per mast. The first anchor was set at 45m, the second at 48m. Both machines had 13.7m-long platforms, with the circular shape of the work platform formed from regular telescopic extensions, with a maximum length of 2.5m.
