Builders were Relieved
The challenges of installing a complex glass façade were formidable. With no easy internal access, a traditional scaffold installation was deemed too weighty and would inadvertently chew up time on the important works program.
It seemed like an impossible task; however, the creative minds of the engineering team at Standard Access found a solution that was worthy of applause.
What they came up with was an innovative, lightweight transportable solution known as a 35m Twin Mast Climber that proved to be the ideal candidate for the job. With its slim line design, it provided all the access the installers needed for proper glass placement whilst being able to reach the required heights without overly impeding on the constraints of the program.
This engineering solution didn’t just stop there. The customized spandrel ties that were designed to be used in conjunction with this climber not only ensured that the glass panels were safe and secure but there was also zero scaring to the façade throughout the process. The 35m Twin Mast Climber combined with the engineered spandrel ties truly proved to be a successful solution in ensuring the completion of an impressive façade installation.
This case study highlights the triumphs made possible through engineering – all whilst being under budget and on time!

As well as a large number of supplies available, the team at Standard Access have sourced wire rope hoists and lifts from various market-leading suppliers. The expansive range to choose from will help site managers and foremen find a lifting solution that perfectly meets their job’s demands.
There is no limit to rope lengths
Some lifting solutions on the market can only work on buildings up to a specific height or width. This leaves many site managers and construction companies at a standstill as it can be difficult or expensive to source alternative solutions, such as cranes.
The Tractel range includes Tirak and Minafor wire rope hoists. These products include unlimited rope lengths, meaning that no job is too big or too small for them. The Standard Access team will work carefully with all site managers to determine how much rope is required to guarantee the lifts and hoists provided are the perfect fit for the construction job.

Installing a new building facade made easy
With building owners desperate to stand out in the crowded market, especially in city environments, more are opting for a building facade to make their premise instantly identifiable.
With so many facades and unique artistic pieces popping up on buildings around the country, high-rise external lifting equipment is in high demand. This demand is only set to grow exponentially in the coming years as the modernisation of cities focuses more on adding personality to buildings to create a more distinguishable skyline.
Though this is great for facade installation companies and construction companies which specialise in this niche field, these installations can be time-consuming if the incorrect equipment is used. In effect, though more jobs will be available on the market, companies may not be able to keep up with this growth in demand, therefore letting competitors increase their market share.
Fortunately, Standard Access provides monorail systems and mast climbing equipment, which can take the guesswork out of facade installation. This state-of-the-art equipment has already proven to be successful across the industry and has helped many businesses see long-term success. They accomplish this by:
Less downtime on sites
Construction companies often have limited knowledge of what equipment they can install on their sites, especially with new, innovative equipment on the market. Mast climbers and monorails are the best solution, as they can be installed from the ground up almost instantaneously and without using a crane. Mast climbers and monorails can also save construction companies large amounts of money on what would otherwise be spent coordinating heavy equipment.
If there may be a concern with the function of the mast climber or monorail systems, construction companies are also encouraged to contact the Standard Access technicians. They will be happy to assist and provide maintenance and servicing where required to reduce the risk of downtime and keep the site operating to full capacity.
Cost Savings on the building facade
Without the use of Standard Access’ innovative equipment, construction companies would need to source multiple types of machinery to complete various aspects of their job. These call-out and contractor fees quickly stack up and can impede business profitability, particularly for bigger jobs.
As Standard Access considers all of the job requirements, the high access solutions will allow the whole job to be completed without needing other equipment. This means that one installation will be enough to complete the entire job and that company owners can take home more profit to reinvest into their business.
Increased efficiency
The Standard Access team will work directly with your worksite targets to customise access solutions that meet your demands. In fact, the installation carried out by Standard Access is the most advanced in the industry and can guarantee that all areas of your facade works can be accessed simultaneously, regardless of how expansive the design may be.
With multiple contractors working simultaneously, this then significantly reduces lead times on site. For example, in the past, when using heavy machinery, facade installation teams may have only had the capacity to work on one side of a building at once, meaning the work could take months to complete. With access across all workable areas of the building, mast climb systems can ensure your job is completed as quickly as possible, so you can take on more work, increase market share and assist more clients in their facade installations.
Reducing injury on site
Operating high-rise construction sites can be a large risk for companies and facade installation teams. With the threat of falls and injury, many companies may lose significant profits in work compensation if they don’t provide a safe environment for their contractors.
The mast climbing platforms and monorail systems provided by the Standard Access team are incredibly safe to operate and have been tested against the strictest OH&S standards. Though they are easy to operate, all those working on the mast climbing platforms will also receive training from the Standard Access team to ensure they use the equipment safely and efficiently. This training program is short but covers all of the basics, meaning staff will be well educated without sacrificing significant work time and profits. All facilitated training will come with the appropriate documentation to show that construction companies adhered to their due diligence requirements.

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. If you are interested in finding out more or implementing a high-value listing solution on your site, you can always contact the team.
Standard Access Provides Hoist Operator Solutions To The Market
When it comes to hoist operator solutions, there are many risks associated with construction companies, developers and maintenance service providers, which operate in high-risk facilities. As a danger to the health and safety of operators, these jobs can be costly, require high levels of training and must be completed with unmatched detail and care to prevent accidents. However, it can put companies largely out of pocket to train and prepare staff to work with hoisting operations and solutions, especially if this is
only a rare occurrence for the company in question.
To alleviate risk and help all companies save time and money, the team at Standard Access has listened to the frustrations of workers, construction company owners and foremen, and now offers a high-value solution. This involves allowing any company that has purchased or rented their Hoisting Equipment or plans to do so in the future, to also hire a trained hoist operator that will work on their site throughout the build.
Opting to hire a hoist operator via Standard Access has already provided peace of mind to a host of companies and can assist
yours through…
Less Downtime, Fewer Costs, Less Management.
A highly trained hoist operator has worked with Standard Access equipment numerous times in the past. Though the machinery is unlikely to break down, these hoist operators are much more likely to diagnose any issues that may be slowing the efficiency of the construction process. This can put all equipment back into action quicker, save the cost of calling out a technician and prevent any downtime that could impede the completion of a job.
Where required, all Standard Access hoist operators can also contact the Standard Access team on your behalf and work through all mechanical fixes to get all equipment working to its full potential again. They are also more than happy to help with the coordination of site erections to guarantee the construction job is completed as efficiently as possible.
When a hoist operator is not needed for lifting purposes, they are also trained in general labour and can help clean the site and complete odd jobs to speed up the process.
Up to $5,000 Savings in Cleaning and Damage Costs
All those who hire a hoist operator will also receive a plant cleaning waiver for all personnel & material hoists, which ensures that the operator or Standard Access takes full responsibility for the cleaning process. This will save construction companies and business owners thousands of dollars in their own cleaning supplies or resources. Not only this, but it means that workers can spend more time focusing on the job at hand, rather than keeping machinery clean.
Businesses will also receive a damage waiver, which covers them in the event of damage to the machinery, if the damage was at the fault of the Standard Access hoist operator. This will guarantee that all maintenance responsibilities fall in the hand of the Standard Access teams and responsible parties, and will not impede the profits of your job.
On-Site OHS Safety is Upheld with our Hoist Operator Solutions
One of the most difficult parts of hiring new equipment is operating it safely. As many workers on the site may not have experience operating Standard Access Products, they may accidentally do so in a way that is unsafe and can risk the health of those at work.
All hoist operators provided by Standard Access will have up-to-date OHS training to make certain that the safety and integrity of your site are upheld. They will all be required to fill out a digital logbook on a daily, weekly and monthly schedule, as well, to guarantee that all servicing requirements are met, and the safety of the working machinery is maintained. With training on due diligence and the importance of upholding safety, all operators are passionate about taking reasonable steps to prevent the implications of negligence or working unsafely.
The hoist operators are trained in fire fighting and first aid to assist with any unforeseen issues that may arise on your site.
Committed to the Best Service
The team at Standard Access is passionate about providing lifting and hosting solutions that make a difference to those working on or maintaining construction sites. With readily available services for companies to choose from, they have a range of solutions available to suit every job’s needs.
If you are interested in hiring a hoist operator to speed up efficiency, reduce costs and maintain your site’s safety, you can always chat with the Standard Access team. They would be happy to recommend the right resources for you and ensure that they are available on your site from the get-go.
