5 Unique Applications Made Easier by the SuperDeck®
Our retractable loading platform system, the SuperDeck®, is a safe, innovative, and cost-effective solution to your material handling needs on site. For decades it has been the preferred choice in high-rise construction projects worldwide. However, it is little known that the SuperDeck® can facilitate quite a wide range of applications.
Allow us to share 5 applications made easier with the SuperDeck®:
1. Below ground material handling
The SuperDeck® can fit into tight spaces, both above and below ground level, meaning it is an efficient loading platform for tunnel construction projects.
2. Temporary overhead protection
Objects falling from cranes and buildings are a significant issue on jobsites, causing injury to workers and civilians as well as damage to structures. Our SuperDecks eliminate the need for scaffolding, providing temporary overhead protection by catching any falling materials.
3. Additional storage
Our loading platforms have been purposely engineered to bear the heavy loads of materials required to be delivered into a building under construction. From bricks and formwork to drywall, our SuperDecks increase efficiency in moving these materials on site. But did you know, they can also be used to provide additional storage space? This is particularly beneficial for jobsites with limited ground capacity, enabling equipment and materials to be stored in the SuperDeck®.
4. Buildings with curved surfaces
Unlike the SuperDeck®, fixed decks cannot be moved in or out of a building, functioning instead as a static structure fitted to the exterior. Fixed decks also don’t work well on curved surfaces. The SuperDeck®, however, can be easily and safely installed into structures with curved surfaces, and its retractable function enables materials to be rolled in and out of the building as required.
5. Sites without a typical slab layout
Don’t have a typical slab layout at your site? That’s no problem for the experienced team at Preston Hire. One-off installations can be devised in these cases, such as creating a false floor and propping system to create RA support to accommodate loads.
