through a slewing ring allowing the complete jibs to be turned through 360 degrees about the

turret. The machine sits in a base units thus ensuring continuous static equilibrium with the

base.

4. Turret:

The tubular chassis of the turret housing contains lifting mechanism, wire rope winch drum,

electro-mechanical slewing turn table, electrical controls and counter weights. A removable

cover gives easy access to the cradle.

5.Main jib:

Box shaped structure mounted on to the column of the roof car via ball bearing slew

ring .weight compensation by counter weight at the jib end.

6.Telescopic/Fixed jib

The telescopic jib made suitable to reach all parts of the facade, using two independent

adjustment drives; electronic synchronisation of lifting and telescopic movement.

7. Mast

To clear the parapet and safely clear the cradle while lifting/lowering and slewing. This mast

is to be raised (if required) to clear the water tanks and parapet and to improve the parking

position in particular situations.

8.Turn Head





The jibs are fitted with turn table at their ends to allow turning of the cradle thus it sits parallel

to the facade at all times. The turn-table should sit on maintenance-free bearings and is driven

by gear motor controlled both from the cradle as well as from the roof trolley.

9.Hoisting mechanism :

Manntech cleaning cradle is fitted with a winch drum of 600 kg working capacity and hoisting

speed of approximately 10m/min. The wire ropes are stored on the four separate compartment

of the grooved winch drum to increase its life and avoid jamming.

access to the facade. It consists of the following:

Turn table with bearings

Toothed gear box

Brake Motor

Secondary Brake

11.Wire Ropes

The cradle is suspended by 4 wire ropes, each 7mm diameter, which are individually galvanised

and stored on the grooved winch drum. The wire ropes houses the electrical conductors and

communications system between the cradle and roof trolley.

11.Controls

The system is electrically controlled by an electro-panel having the following circuits:

Main Circuit





Control Circuit

Emergency stop

Lower limit safety device fitted to cradle

Upper limit safety device fitted to cradle

Final upper limit safety device

Emergency manual descent

Overload safety device

Slack wire rope safety device

Over speed safety device
