Tractel Solo Man riding Cradle systems are a Winched Platform (one or 2 metre wide) and are supplied as a kit 'Ready to Go', They are fully electric powered by 110v, 220v for 400v or fitted with manual hand cranked wire rope hoists. Systems can be adapted for permanent or temporary installation / use; standard working heights are up to 40 metres though we can supply at system heights to suit our customers requirements - often over 100 metres. We also supply a range of roof top cantilever anchorage systems that are a modular design. These also can be left  permanently in-situ or disassembled for use in another location. All systems are fitted with the Blocstop fall arrest system.

The Ideal Solution For

• Window and Facade Cleaning.
• Fully collapsable (modular / knock down) design for ease of transport. (and ease of export)
• Insulation and Weatherproofing.
• Chimney and Furnace.
• Tank and Boiler Construction.
• Painting and Corrosion Protection.

The SOLO platform is intended for temporary or permanent applications for inspection and maintenance work on façades and other types of working at height. It lifts people and their working equipment - at unlimited heights.

The SOLO platform is designed particularly for lightweight applications, such as painting and decorating, refurbishing, jointing and repairs, window cleaning, etc. ... The complete system consists of the working platform equipped with an electric TIRAK® hoist and the support wheels, suspended by means of steel wire ropes from a suspension structure.

In the standard version, the SOLO cradle is fitted with a powered TIRAK hoist. As an option it can be fitted with a manual SCAFOR hoist.

The TIRAK hoist is available in 220 V, 0.45 kW, single phase or 220/380 V, 0.45 kW, three phase supply. The lifting speed is 8.5 m/min giving fast access to the working position, which becomes more important as the height of the building increases. The lifting height is limited only by the length of the wire rope since it passes through the TIRAK hoist without a drum reeler. Should there be a power failure, the operation of the centrifugal brake allows controlled lowering, to avoid any long delay in rescue.

The SOLSIT one-man seat is extremely compact and can pass through a man-hole of 45x54 cm. It can  then be used inside very narrow furnaces, wells and chimneys. 2 containers are fitted for carrying tools and cleaning materials.

The cradle or work seat can be very quickly installed and set up for operation. The two wire ropes are hooked onto the suspension point and the electric supply cable plugged in – depending on the model of TIRAK hoist – to a 220 V single phase or 220/380 V 3 phase supply. An extra power point for a drill or inspection lamp avoids the need for additional power supply cable.
