Supporting high-level glazing projects across the UK

Buildings look magnificent when lots of glass is used in their design. However, repairing or replacing high-level glazing can be challenging for tall buildings and glass roofs. With specialist lifting equipment and years of experience providing safe work at height,  the Elev8 team are here to help with your high-level glazing projects.

Every building has a different design and is set in a unique environment.  There is a suitable access platform for every glazing project, whether it is a city centre skyscraper, if an obstruction makes access difficult or if you need to install glass inside high level atriums.  The two most common types of powered access platforms we supply for glazing projects are:

• Truck mounted access platforms providing up to 104 metres of working height and 38 metres of lateral outreach. They can boom over other structures or even roofs allowing glass engineers to work safely at height.
• Track mounted access platforms wrap up very small and are perfect for providing safe work at height in areas where access is restricted. Elev8’s tracked access MEWPs can be powered by electric, which means they can safely work inside without creating fumes and are perfect for providing safe work at height for glazing projects situated in high level atriums.

We are experts in lifting operations and have our own in-house qualified contract lifting team available to plan, execute, and supervise your glass lifting operation.  Elev8’s contract lifting service takes care of every aspect of the lift on your behalf.  You can find out more about our contract lifting service here.

For some glazing projects you can save money & time using ONE PIECE OF LIFTING EQUIPMENT to safely lift glazing panels and provide your engineers with safe work at height.   The MEWPs in our fleet have  safe working loads of up to 600kg enabling them to safely lift your glazing engineers as well as the glass and tools they need to complete their project.  Larger glazing units can be secured to the outside of the MEWP cage using a lifting frame or lifted outside of the MEWP cage using a cage winch.  You can find out more about lifting with MEWPs here.

The variety of lifting equipment and powered access platforms on offer can be confusing, but the Elev8 team are always on hand to offer advice for the best access or lifting solution for your glazing project.   ALL lifting projects require proper planning by a competent person and if you don’t already have these skills within your organisation one of our in-house contract lifting team can help.  Our NHSS certified traffic management team are on hand to provide traffic and pedestrian management schemes as well as safe drop zones.  If you would like to discuss your high-level glazing project please get in touch and we would be happy to help.
