Standard Access Supports Businesses Operating in the Lift and Elevator Space
With so many high rises and large complexes continuing to pop up across the country, lift and elevator installation and maintenance companies, including Schindler AU, KONE Elevators AU, and OTIS AU, are seeing high demand for services and high-rise solutions. With their services, building managers, owners, operators, and users have easy access to higher levels of their building, without needing to climb copious amounts of stairs. However, with this growing industry demand, it can be difficult for clients and companies in this space to find the hire equipment they need to complete jobs promptly.

Access end-to-end re-clad solutions with Standard Access
A successful re-clad solution is as much part of every city as the buildings themselves. As skylines continue to modernise and cities get bigger, many older buildings are undergoing renovation work and re-cladding to remain relevant. However, in busy, congested cities, including Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, it can be difficult to operate heavy machinery without obscuring traffic or shutting down lanes. In many cases, building managers will opt for night works and renovations, which cost copious amounts of money, to complete their job without negatively impacting the environment around them.
Fortunately, Standard Access provides lifting and handling equipment, material hoists and personnel hoists, which grant access to high-rise buildings and construction projects without cranes and other heavy lifting equipment. When implemented correctly, these solutions can benefit facade consultants, corporate companies, building companies and facade contractors alike.
Here are just some of the reasons how Standard Access’ solutions can benefit those invested in the re-clad process.
Re-clad solutions offered by Standard Access are high-quality and reduce downtime
Many facade consultants and contractors have limited knowledge about the quality equipment available in the market. Rather than seeking the most efficient solution, such as a mast climbing work platform, they typically stick to what they have known to work for generations, such as cranes and scissor lifts. Unfortunately, these often have limited mobility and can make re-cladding jobs in congested spaces difficult to complete.
Standard Access sources the highest-quality modern lifting solutions, suited to completing the entire scope of work. When you contact the team, they will help you find the pieces of access equipment you need to complete the job. This will save money on call-out fees and contractors. It will also reduce downtime due to waiting long periods for new equipment to arrive on site.
On top of this, the equipment you source for your re-clad will be tested against the highest quality standards and serviced regularly. This will prevent downtime and ensure that contractors are safe.
Protect the public with high-quality access solutions
Many buildings that require a re-clad have been standing for years. Due to decades of sun, wind and rain exposure, their current cladding could present a risk to the public. In the event of an accident, this could place corporates at risk of high insurance claims and poor media exposure.
Standard Access machinery and lifting equipment can be installed on-site at short notice. With hoist operators also available for hire, this can certify that any non-compliant cladding is removed and re-instated. With limited resources required to reach these high-rise facilities, the Standard Access solution can save building owners and corporate companies thousands of dollars.
All re-clad works can be carried out at once with Standard Access’ solutions
In the past, re-cladding has been a long process due to the safety risks of operating too much machinery at once. Standard Access provides wide reach and close building proximity, meaning many contractors can work on their designated job together. Having them all work on separate parts of the re-clad can reduce the lead time for completion.
For construction companies, this provides the opportunity to complete high-quality jobs at a more efficient pace. In the long-term, they can then pick up more re-clads and increase their year-on-year profits without compromising service quality.
Another benefit of having all works carried out at once is the reduced administration and risk. Construction company owners and foremen will only need to focus on a few days worth of planning. This decrease in administration means they can allocate more time to facilitating safety protocols and risk assessments to keep all staff safe. Standard Access also offers full equipment training for first-time users or those looking to refresh their knowledge to help maintain the integrity of the worksite.
Proven success from Standard Access
Approached by Built in 2020, Standard Access was tasked with providing a solution for a re-cladding project on 8 Nicholson St, Victoria. All facade panels from the floor to the roof of the 70-metre building needed replacing. Above this, the mast climbers and monorails had to be maximised to cover all elevations in one installation while minimising anchoring points.
With careful planning and attention to detail, the Standard Access team combined several single & twin mast climbers working in conjunction with the ‘glide-rail’ monorail system. As secondary support, they also provided a 2000kg materials hoist and several 500kg & 1000kg rope hoists. All mast climbers were supported at the base by engineered steel gantries.
This successful solution was met with an abundance of praise and endless support. The Built team commented that Standard Access’ eye for detail made this re-clad project much easier to undertake than it would have been using regular machinery.
Supporting all re-clad projects
The team at Standard Access is passionate about showing contractors, building owners, and construction companies how new lifting and handling machinery can make a difference to re-clad works.
