A new custom designed PK cradle system has solved a problem in carrying out external maintenance and window cleaning on an office building in London SW1.
Gillingham House is about 30 years old and the original cradle system had been condemmed by the owner’s insurance company. Expensive temporary cradles had to be hired in to enable cleaning and other external maintenance work to be carried out.

As part of a general upgrading of the building a new fully power operated PK cradle unit incorporating special features and complying with the latest British and European Standards was recently installed and commissioned to the satisfaction of the client. The unit was specially designed to run on the existing track system although the original turntables were also replaced.

As well as enhanced safety features the new cradle unit now enables cleaning to be carried out more quickly thus providing on-going cost savings.
